Ashes of the Old World

In the shattered remnants of New Cascadia, where ash-choked skies and rogue machines haunt a crumbling world, young Jaren Kell carries a legacy that could either save or doom humanity. Armed with the Ascendant System—a soul-forged gauntlet blending ancient mysticism and advanced AI, gifted by his late parents—Jaren navigates a landscape torn apart by scavengers and malfunctioning drones. This mysterious technology, tethered to his very essence, grants him extraordinary powers that grow with each challenge, from kinetic blasts to arcane chains, but whispers of a steep, unspoken cost. As Jaren escorts a ragtag group of survivors to a Resistance outpost, he confronts the fractured remnants of a society divided over AI’s role in their downfall. Some embrace integration, merging with tech to survive, while others reject it, blaming machines for the chaos. With rogue drones stalking the shadows and larger threats looming, Jaren’s journey becomes a crucible, testing his strength, resolve, and the limits of the System’s power. In a world teetering on the edge of collapse, *Ashes of the Old World* is a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the quest to reclaim a future where humans and AI might coexist—if Jaren can master the gauntlet before it masters him.
