The Lords of Alchemy

WheresMahPie
The twins, Olivier and Victor, grew up in the Golden Age of Alchemy, only to end it as enemies. After a long and bloody battle, the two are consumed in a strange light, returning to their childhood. It was all a part of Victor’s plans to stop the end of alchemy and to become the greatest alchemist alive. An exception to this plan, however, was his vagabond brother, Olivier, a man who wasn’t supposed to remember his previous life. Olivier’s lifelong hatred of Victor only grew when he killed their mother. So he plots to destroy him, then, to ascend to a realm beyond humanity. The two must use the city they grew up in to gather strength and to surpass the other. To play by the laws that bind them and to garner allies. Except the past isn’t playing out as it should. It has changed without their intervention, and their memories aren’t as correct as they once thought. It doesn’t take long for a true horror to reveal itself to them.

MYTH ZERO

Before the first god drew breath, before the first myth was told — there was only the Void. And the Void was afraid. Kael Voss is nobody. A man without legend, without lineage, without purpose — until the day a rift tears open in the middle of his city and something ancient steps through, hunting for a power he doesn't know he carries. Buried within his soul is the First Spark — the primordial energy that existed before creation itself, the very force that caused the Void to fracture into ten divine civilizations, each one a different answer to the same primal fear: What are we? And why do we exist? Now those civilizations are dying. One by one, the Ten Strata of Existence are collapsing, and the gods of Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia, the Norse realms, the Hindu cosmos, the Chinese heavens, ancient Persia, the Mesoamerican skies, and the Canaanite depths are either falling into madness — or being consumed entirely. Something nameless is moving through the foundations of reality, something that was never born and never created, something that simply refused to end. Kael is pulled across the strata, forging impossible alliances with gods who despise each other, absorbing the essence of mythologies that should never coexist, and slowly becoming something that has no name in any sacred text. He is not a hero chosen by fate. He is not a demigod blessed by lineage. He is the only being in existence who carries the one thing every god, every monster, and every dying civilization needs — and the one thing that the nameless force must destroy before all of reality can be unmade. But the deeper Kael travels, the more a terrifying question takes shape: the nameless enemy at the heart of the Void is not evil. It is not malicious. It is afraid — the same fear that built every myth, every pantheon, every god in the first place. And if Kael destroys it, he destroys the reason every civilization ever reached for the divine. If he saves it, he becomes something far more dangerous than any god that ever lived. MYTH ZERO is an epic cross-mythological fantasy spanning ten divine realms, a thousand years of forgotten cosmic history, and one man standing at the exact point where every story humanity has ever told begins — and ends.
