A Symphony of Ash and Light

Rhaelior
In a world scorched by rebellion and shadowed by lost divinity, love dares to rise from the ruins. When mankind defied Heaven, the skies fell in flame. Celestials were sent to silence the uprising, but some angels chose humanity over duty—and paid the price. Cast down and forgotten, the fallen wander a broken world where belief has splintered. Some humans still wield faith as fuel for sacred technology. Others kneel to machine-gods, clinging to rusted circuits and cold logic. And some have given up entirely, hearts closed to both Heaven and hope. Caleb, a reclusive musician with a quiet strength and a haunted past, lives on the edges of this fractured society. His melodies carry the ache of a world that’s lost its rhythm—until one song stirs something watching in the dark. Seriah, a fallen angel once radiant and resolute, now lives in exile, her once-pure light tempered by sorrow. Aloof, enigmatic, and attuned to celestial harmony, she’s drawn to Caleb—not just by his music, but by a strange familiarity that defies reason. Their meeting sparks a chain of events written in forbidden scripture: "A dark star burning bright and a mockingbird shall sing a new world into being." But prophecies are rarely so simple—and never without cost. As ancient factions war over the soul of the world, Caleb and Seriah find themselves hunted by zealots, worshippers of false gods, and a corrupted archangel who once called Seriah kin. This archangel—twisted by grief, pride, and the belief that he must become a new Creator—sees their union as both threat and opportunity. He will guide, test, and betray them in turn, hoping to use their path to reshape reality. Bound by love, haunted by the past, and caught in a war between Heaven’s remnants and humanity’s future, Caleb and Seriah must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other—and for a world that no longer believes in miracles. Because in a world of ash, only light born of love might bring balance.

Symbiote Zero: Rise of the Echelon

Synopsis – Symbiosis: The Echelon Protocol When mercenary Julius Reyes wakes amid the shattered remains of his strike team and a dying spaceship, he has no memory of the attack that nearly killed him. His arm is gone, his ribs are exposed, and most of his armor is in tatters. But death does not come. Instead, something awakens. Bound to his body through blood and pain, a mysterious techno-organic suit—designated Echelon X-9—initiates emergency protocols and fuses itself to him in a last-ditch effort to preserve life. What begins as a survival mechanism quickly becomes something more: the suit is alive, intelligent, and symbiotic, offering not only physical regeneration but power beyond anything Julius has ever known. As Julius struggles to understand the alien technology now integrated with his very being, he must navigate a war-torn galaxy, uncover the origins of the suit, and face enemies both human and machine who will stop at nothing to control it. Each chapter draws him deeper into a web of conspiracies, ancient civilizations, and hidden agendas stretching across the stars. But the deeper the bond grows, the more Julius questions: is he still in control—or is the suit guiding him toward a purpose of its own? Symbiosis: The Echelon Protocol is an epic sci-fi saga spanning over 3,000 chapters—a high-stakes journey of survival, identity, and transformation, where man and machine are no longer separate, but one.

MCU: god of mana

what happens when a soul reincarnates into the body of a drug addict who overdosed? and what if that soul is actually a champion of a random omnipotent being (aka rob)? and what happens when this champion doesn't use magic the usual way, but instead channels mana to punch and slash things? well, follow ash as he explores a complex world set strictly in the marvel cinematic universe, mainly focusing on the tv shows. from iron fist and the defenders to movies like doctor strange and captain america: civil war, and much more. of course, things aren’t as simple or normal as they seem in the mcu. strange phenomena start to occur, opening cracks between worlds, allowing monsters from the monster hunter universe to break through. join ash as he climbs the ladder of power and draws the attention of powerful organizations in this world. warning: this fanfic will mostly focus on the tv shows and select movie events. ash’s influence on the sacred timeline will start small, but as he grows and begins to shape the world around him (sooner than he expects), the timeline will change. this shift will attract beings from both inside and outside the mcu. only monsters from the monster hunter universe will come through the rift—no npcs. also, these monsters are made of mana, not flesh, so unfortunately, no cool monster weapons, at least most of the time. ALSO MONSTERS WOULD VARY IN SIZE AND THEIR TRUE SIZE AND POWER MIGHT NOT MATCH UP TO THE ONES FROM THE MONSTER HUNTER UNIVERSE AND THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON FOR THAT, I PROMISE, as for updates, they will be daily. as for the female, i still havent decided yet, but no Wanda(for obvious reason) and no scarlet witch.
