From hidden valley to rising world, the Illuminati turn vision into civilization. Cities of stone, living wood, and crystal rise beneath the veil of secrecy, while the miracles of faith give way to the discipline of science. The human, elven, and dwarven peoples mature together-united by the divine books and the quiet guidance of unseen architects.

When Nano's fallen ship rekindles the dream of the stars, the Space Age begins. Towers reach the sky, satellites watch the Earth, and the first engines of heaven lift beyond the clouds. Across centuries, laboratories replace temples and belief becomes the vessel of knowledge.

In every legend of hidden masters lies a shadow of truth; the Illuminati legend was real. Here, wisdom replaces rule, and systems replace sovereignty. The Illuminati do not conquer-they cultivate. And through them, the world learns to ascend.

Book 2: The Hidden Empire will begin serialization on November 13, 2025.  New chapters will post twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays at 1 a.m. PST (10 a.m. Germany time).
