Lungs of a shattered haven
When the 14K Triad of the East and the Red Blood Syndicate of the South joined forces, they created the deadliest black-market operation in history—Orananited, a clandestine group of organ harvesters dealing in the rarest and most valuable human commodities. Their most coveted prize? Lungs.Under the cover of night, Orananited infiltrated Cardin, a hidden mountain town untouched by the outside world. By dawn, the streets were silent. The bodies? Gone. Every man, woman, and child harvested, their lungs sealed in preservation chambers and sold to Nobles, warlords, and dying elites willing to pay fortunes for another breath of life.The world remained unaware. To them, Cardin had never existed. But Eren Vale knew the truth. He had seen it—the masks, the paralytic gas, the blood-stained floors where his family was carved apart like livestock.In the sprawling city of Akyiv, on the outskirts of Eastern Dunamis, a mysterious preacher gathers a crowd, speaking of an ancient legend—the eternal war between Demiurge and Chaos. As he tells of the Primordials and the birth of Ether, an event in the West sets the kingdom on a new course.Lord Garjel, a long-lost hero, returns in triumph, his name echoing through the streets as celebrations erupt. Yet beneath the revelry, shadows stir. His past is woven with war, betrayal, and power. But everything changes when he encounters a creature with the head of a bird and the body of a wild beast—a force beyond kings, beyond conquerors… beyond fate itself.
