Elemental Gatherers

Just one semester until graduation, a young man dies saving a little girl — only to wake up in another world, in the body of Kupiec Aiden, chosen by a deity to save the realm of Zemia. Unlike the isekai stories he's read, he retains none of Aiden's memories and must learn everything from scratch. When his exceptional innate talent for Aether Gathering is discovered, he earns a scholarship to Azyl Academy, the city's premier institution. Now he must figure out where he fits in this world — and how he's supposed to be the key to saving it.

Six months into life in the Kingdom of Craesti, Aiden has made friends, gained a family, and begun mastering Aether at Azyl Academy. He is learning Alchemy, Inscription, and combat — all to prepare for the calamity the deity Darkness warned him about. But trouble finds him early. He's made an enemy of a local noble Clan and barely survived an assassination attempt. Now he must recover and prepare for the ranking tournament, after which the students will venture into the Great Western Forest on an expedition. Aiden's focus remains singular: get strong enough in time.

A new threat stirs in Zemia, stirring the Beasts in its wake — a Primordial so powerful that all the gatherers in the nation have little hope of defeating it. Aiden must find a way to stand and prevent the destruction of Craesti City.

Beast waves, Chaos cultists, new Primordials rising — the world has gone chaotic. A tournament has been called to find new champions, and Aiden and his team must compete in Craesti City, the kingdom's capital, to earn the right to journey to Monster Island for a multinational competition.

Aiden and his team have earned the right to represent the Craesti Kingdom at the International Tournament of Champions on Monster Island, home of the Ashkhas nation. They will compete against the elites of four other nations — and Chaos may not be far behind.

After winning second place at the International Tournament of Champions, Aiden is poised to explore the Divine Territory of Alilahat Nuwr. What he finds inside the Aether-infused secret realm challenges everything he thought he knew about the world. Can he uncover the Legacy of the M'Zee — and will it be enough to save Zemia?

Aiden has earned the Legacy of the M'Zee and advanced to Seed Core faster than anyone in history. Now he must consolidate his gains, understand what holding the Legacy entails, and make his way back home across a treacherous ocean — where ancient ruins discovered on the original voyage hide yet another threat to the world.

Chaos looms over Zemia. As the forces of Darkness and Light face their greatest challenge, the Chosen — Aiden, Anthony, and Julia — wield newfound powers to push back the encroaching threat. Blending magic, cultivation, and strategic ingenuity, they must revolutionize armor designs and unlock ancient enchantments. Aiden's barony on the edge of the Great Western Forest may be the last line of defense.

A new threat stirs in the depths of the Great Western Forest. The largest Beast Wave ever to strike hit Craesti while Aiden was away, and only extreme measures held the city. With the kingdom's military drawn into war in Illyria, Aiden and his team must fill the gap. Atzi, the Water Waz and one of the Forest's great powers, remembers Aiden's ability to find his hidden grotto and requests his help exploring the Forest to find the source of the Corruption that triggered the wave. Can they locate it — and survive what they find?
