The Last Shield

Seventy years ago, the sky broke.

The Convergence fused the modern world with forgotten civilizations, leaving behind a fractured land where soldiers walk beside elves, ancient kingdoms rose from the ruins of modern nations, and Crystal Rifts continue to tear reality apart.

Captain Alden Vale should have died that day.

Instead...

he awakens seventy years in the future.

His squad is gone.

His country no longer exists.

Everything he once swore to protect has become history.

Armed with nothing but military training, a weathered service sword, and an unbreakable resolve, Alden refuses to depend on the magic that now defines the world. While others seek greater power, he chooses something far more difficult:

To keep standing.

Yet every step draws him deeper into a truth the world has long forgotten.

An elven princess burdened by hatred.

A wandering mage whose life no longer belongs to time.

Ancient civilizations that refused to disappear.

And above them all...

The Horizon Scar.

The wound that split the world in two.

As the Crystal Rifts grow increasingly unstable and history begins repeating itself, Alden discovers that surviving the end of the world was only the beginning.

The world chose magic.

He chose to stand.
