Synopsis

“From ‘The Eastern Star’ Telanathion of the Argos Cluster to the divine kingdom Karkoreis of the Voidborn Belt lies the legendary Glorious Route, the longest path spanning the known cosmos."

"Countless adventurers seek to conquer it, but very few are known to have succeeded. It is only for the bravest, the strongest, and the luckiest ones.”

“Many souls, including arch beings, have vanished without a trace along this path.”

“Among the stars await unimaginable worlds, ancient kingdoms, sacred ruins, and the greatest treasures ever dreamed. Your next step may become the most wondrous experience of your life…”

“...or, it may lead to your final resting place."

"Forever lost in unknown skies, buried in foreign soil…”

“…never to return home.”

This is the story of two boys who awakened their divinities (a reaper and a sun god.)

Follow Luther and Aaron as they wander through the boundless Cosmos; strolling the magical market Mariana, diving into the silent depths of the Tranquil Sea, riding the Orion Express under starlit skies, visiting Sicily the city of blossoms and fruit, travelling the Heart of the Cosmos, crossing the wilds of Anasia, climbing the Tower of Tomorrow, and countless other realms where wonder never ends.

What to expect:

- OP MCs (Still weak to strong though.)

- Fantasy worlds/food/species ...

- I love giant stuffs so there will be a bunch of enormous structures/creatures/buildings.

- Found family.

- Long story.

- A lot of slice of life.

- Lots of cozy moments, yet the stakes are still there.

- Tons of worldbuilding that will be unveiled progressively throughout the story.

- Slow burn romance.

- Cute pets.

- High scale.

- Heavy progression elements.

- Cultivation elements.

- Almost entire Greek myth retelling.

Imagine like a little bit of Harry Potter (A hidden magical world in a modern setting) meets a little bit of Percy Jackson (Descendants of Greek Gods) in a Ghibli vibe.

Though told through young eyes, I hope this story may also be read as a fairytale for grown souls: a heart-warming and wholesome adventure, with a hint of darkness and a pinch of sadness.

Warnings:

- Gay story and contains romance subplot (Fantasy, traveling and found family still remain the main theme.)

- The story takes references from Greek mythology, Dante's Inferno, and Ars Goetia, but will add, remove, and modify many different details. In short, not myth-accurate. Please consider this as an alternate universe before reading.

Update Schedule:
Three chapters per week: every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
