VOID RANK Synopsis Nathan Arva had everything a man could want. A successful business built from nothing, a reputation as someone who genuinely cared for others, and a future that seemed unbreakable. Until his own parents destroyed it all. Betrayed by the very people who raised him, his empire crumbled overnight. With nothing left to hold onto, Nathan made the choice to end it. He did not expect to wake up again. Born into the body of a baby in a small farming family at the forgotten edge of the continent of Eryndor, Nathan now carries a new name Kael Duren. A new life. A new world of magic, swords, guilds, and kingdoms where power is everything. But something is wrong. Every person in Eryndor carries a rank a measure of their strength, read by any skilled fighter or system in existence. Rank F. Rank S. Rank SS. The greatest warriors alive sit at SSS. When the world tries to read Kael Duren, it gets nothing. Not zero. Not weak. Not unranked. A blank. A void. A symbol that does not exist in any record, any archive, any divine scripture. Low-level gods cannot sense him. Mid-level gods get silence. Even two High Gods who dared reach toward him pulled back with one shared reaction fear. Only the highest existence in all of Eryndor knows what Kael truly is. And it has chosen to say nothing. Now, living with a warm family known for their humor and kindness in a village no one cares about, Kael has one simple goal to live the life he never got to finish. Quietly. Peacefully. Without trouble. Too bad trouble has already noticed him. *In a world where your rank determines your worth, what do you call someone the world cannot measure?*

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
