The Fallen Hunter: Dragon mist saga

In a world shattered by an apocalyptic event, humanity has been forever changed. Mystical genes, long dormant in bloodlines tied to ancient myths and legends, have awakened, granting extraordinary abilities to a select few. These individuals, known as the "Aetherborn," possess powers drawn from gods, giants, Nephilim, and other forgotten beings. But with their awakening comes a darker reality: dangerous creatures from myth and nightmare have returned, threatening to push the world into further chaos.

To combat these emerging threats, hunting guilds rise, composed of both Aetherborn and ordinary humans. Each guild competes for dominance, hunting the creatures that ravage the land while amassing wealth from the crystals these monsters leave behind—valuable sources of Aether, the mystical energy that fuels their abilities.

Among them is Ethan, a young man burdened with the care of his siblings after losing his parents to a catastrophic event caused by an unstable awakening. Despite being born without power, Ethan embarks on dangerous quests to provide for his family, unaware of the latent bloodline within him that will one day make him one of the most powerful beings in existence.

As the world teeters on the brink of war between factions of awakened and non-awakened humans, the hunting guilds find themselves locked in battle—not just against monsters but against each other. With guilds scrambling for power and darker forces stirring, Ethan and his companions must navigate a treacherous world where alliances shift, betrayals are common, and survival means awakening the deepest parts of themselves.

In a world where power determines fate, the only question is: How long can the weak stay hidden before they, too, must awaken.
