The Diver Academy

Book One: The Event

Los Angeles was the first to succumb. The towering skyscrapers, once reaching ambitiously towards the heavens, were mercilessly swallowed into a cavernous abyss filled with darkness and despair. An eerie silence enveloped the world as millions of souls were abruptly erased, vanishing into the gaping maw that had suddenly fractured our planet's surface. In stunned disbelief, people huddled around their televisions and phones, eyes glued to news anchors and experts who grappled futilely to explain the inexplicable phenomenon.

Initially, everyone clung to the hope that it was an isolated incident, a freakish anomaly—until it happened again.

In a modest town where a small family fought desperately for survival as the ground quaked ominously beneath their feet. Their flickering hope nearly extinguished until whispers of salvation reached them: humanity was regrouping in Wichita, Kansas, rallying to mount a defense against this unprecedented catastrophe.

Book Two: The Crossroads

A thousand years had passed since the event, yet for one young teen born into a rising merchant faction, the weight of his future weighed heavily upon him. His father had already paved the path for him. Expecting him to continue the family tradition of selling and buying from the daring divers who braved the treacherous dungeons scattered across their world. It was a profession that both intrigued and called out to the boy, with its promise of adventure and riches. But with only his modest power of inspection, which meant nothing in the world of divers but everything to the merchant clans, it would take every ounce of determination and strength for him to break free and join the prestigious Divers Academy. The shoulder crushing weight of expectations tried to smother his dreams, but he refused to let it crush his spirit. He would make his own destiny, no matter what obstacles stood in his way.
