The Smile behind the mask
The night Elias Crow lost everything, the world laughed.
Once a carnival trickster who lived to make people smile, Elias watched his family burn in a fire he was too afraid to face. Homeless, broken, and drowning in guilt, he decides to end his life.
But death refuses him.
Instead, he awakens inside a shifting temple where the walls laugh at his cowardice and a mysterious painting watches his every step.
At the heart of the temple lies a coffin… and inside it, a power the gods once tried to erase.
When Elias opens it, something ancient awakens within him.
A fragment of a forgotten god.
Now thrown into a strange world beneath a lavender sky, hunted by forces he doesn’t understand, Elias must survive using a terrifying ability:
Mimic — the power to steal abilities, knowledge, and even divine authority.
But far beyond the stars, ancient gods have begun to notice something impossible.
A flame they once extinguished has begun to burn again.
Because Elias Crow is not just a broken boy.
He is the reincarnation of Kael — the Fifth Flame, the god of chaos who once made heaven laugh… and burn.
And this time, the joke will be on the gods.
