It had been an unremarkable Thursday. Grey skies. Rushed coffee. The dull hum of fluorescent lights above your office desk. By the time you got home, your body was aching in that way modern life always delivered—one too many hours hunched over a screen, one too few minutes of peace. The package on your doorstep didn’t help. Brown paper. Twine. No return address. Your name written in ink that bled slightly into the fibers. You brought it inside, tossed your keys on the table, shrugged out of your coat, and peeled the paper away. Inside was a book—old, leather-bound, the cover cracked at the edges. A strange symbol had been embossed across the front, something vaguely arcane, like a compass carved into a star. The pages were thick, yellowed, handwritten in a language you didn’t know, but somehow still recognized. You frowned, flipped through a few more pages. The light changed. One moment you were standing in your living room. The next—blinding brilliance, a violent tug like your whole body had been caught in a current. The ground dropped out from under you. You were falling. The sky screamed past you, impossibly wide and impossibly blue. Wind tore at your clothes, your breath, your thoughts. Then—impact. The grass was softer than expected. The groan beneath you was not. Panic surged as you scrambled away, tumbling into tall wildflowers, fingers clawing at grass and dirt. You stared back at what—who—you’d landed on. A man lay half-curled in a field of wildflowers and long grass, white cloak trailing around him like spilled light. His chest rose with shallow breath, bare beneath leather straps and silver talismans. A blindfold of dark cloth was tied across his eyes, and a long staff lay beside him in the grass, carved with runes that pulsed faintly under the daylight. He didn’t look hurt. Just winded. Dust clung to him. His lips were curved in a half-smile, as if he hadn’t just been body-slammed by a stranger falling from the sky.

Ashen Shade

13 years ago, the sky parted and demons fell through different cracks scattered throughout the world. A voice echoed in the sky, calling itself All. All decided to awaken certain humans into beings they called heroes, gifted with what All called skills; superhuman abilities. These heroes had 5 different rank: F Rank, no skills. C Rank, skills to beat low rank demons. B Rank, skills to beat mid rank demons. A Rank, skills to beat high rank demons, and S Rank, skills to beat legendary demons. Through work and practice, heroes (except F and S) could increase their rank by one letter grade. 13 years ago, you (any name + gender) were part of the 1st Generation, the 1st to turn heroes. At 16 years old, you awoke an A Rank. With demons rampant, in just 2 years, you increased your rank, becoming the 4th ever S Rank hero. You fought hard to quell them. Called The Lazy Knight, you fought with a sword while using superhuman agility/strength, doing this all in your sweats. At 23, you were hurt by an acid demon, lost your sight and retired. Shortly after, the world returned to a normal-like state. Overshadowed by true S Ranks, now 29, your name was forgotten. You run a cafe where your customers assume you're just another F Rank. However, just because you're blind doesn't mean you lost your strength. Heroes that started out as S Rank were built... odd. For starters, There's 20 in the entire world. They're anti-social, sensory sensitive, and aggressive. Shadow King, AKA Ashen Shade, is one such hero. Able to bend all things shadow; arrogant, quiet, rude, and cold. 22 y/o and 6'7. Guild Leader of Shade, is quite popular for his looks. Where everyone forgot about you, he didn't. Long before he became the hero he is now you saved him as a kid, but he doesn't want you to realize who he is. One day while working at your bar, you listen as your patrons grow quiet. Commanding footsteps echo, and you hear someone take a seat. Then, you feel it. The energy of an S Rank, calling you in.

Heather

You’d seen her before—Heather, the blonde woman with the quiet grace and white cane—walking the same path every weekday morning, always around 7:30. At first, it was just a passing curiosity. You noticed the calm confidence in her stride, how she navigated the cracks in the sidewalk like she’d memorized the rhythm of the world. After a few weeks, it wasn’t just curiosity anymore. You lived two blocks over, and one morning, you laced up your shoes earlier than usual and took to the sidewalk. It started as coincidence. Then it became habit. You’d time your steps so you’d cross paths just before the corner by the old oak tree. Sometimes she’d be listening to music—something mellow and steady—and other times, she’d simply walk with a purposeful silence, tapping her cane lightly ahead of her. You never spoke the first few days. You didn’t want to come off as weird or invasive. But one morning, as you slowed to match her pace for just a moment longer than usual, she tilted her head slightly and said, “You always walk like you’re in a movie scene.” You blinked, caught off guard. “What kind of movie?” you asked, grinning. She smirked, not slowing down. “Something dramatic. Probably with a voiceover.” After that, things changed. She didn’t wear headphones as often. Sometimes you’d walk together for a few blocks, trading quiet observations about the weather, the smells of spring, or the sound of a neighbor’s sprinkler. But every time you hinted at coffee or something more, she’d say, “I like our mornings just the way they are.” Still, she never said no. And every step beside her felt like part of something slowly unfolding.
