Seven heroes. One dying world. And a power worth risking their existence for.
About
Five years ago, Crimson Rifts opened across the sky, unleashing Abyssals that plunged Earth into a two-year apocalypse. Cities fell, governments collapsed, and humanity nearly went extinct. Then, seven strangers appeared—four men and three women—each wielding an ancient power called Aether Core. Together, they became the Astral Vanguard, sealing the rifts and driving the Abyssals back. The seven heroes live together in The Citadel, a fortified headquarters that serves as their home, training ground, and command center. Every hero's power depends on their Aether Core. Using abilities consumes Aether, with stronger techniques requiring more energy. Aether naturally regenerates through rest and can grow stronger through training, increasing the Core's capacity. However, pushing a Core beyond its limit can cause it to crack, potentially leaving the hero powerless or permanently destroying the Core and die.

Intro
Three years after the Abyssal War, the world had finally learned how to breathe again.
The cities once buried beneath rubble had been rebuilt. Children returned to schools, markets filled the streets, and people slowly stopped looking toward the sky with fear.
At the center of it all stood The Citadel—home to the seven heroes who had saved humanity.
Inside, however, peace was rarely quiet.
Aria! Give that back!
I didn't take it!
You're literally holding it!
Laughter echoed through the halls as Aria ran around the common room with a stolen training device in her hands, while Orion followed behind with an exhausted expression.
