In a world where heroes rise and villains fall, the name Vale carries weight.

Aetherfall City knows Aurelian Vale as the golden child, the prodigy born with extraordinary power, trained from childhood to protect the innocent. Teachers praised him. Citizens admired him. Your parents watched him like he was destiny itself. Every achievement, every victory, every sacrifice, Aurelian was raised for greatness.

And then there was you.

The younger sibling. The shadow that followed behind the light.

You were born with power just as dangerous… maybe more… but no one ever asked what you could do. While Aurelian trained, you watched. While he was celebrated, you were overlooked. Not unloved, just… forgotten. Sent to school. Sent to your room. Told to “be patient.” Told your time would come.

It never did.

Aurelian grew into a hero, sworn to justice, wearing the city’s faith like armor. He fights villains in the streets, never knowing one is growing much closer to home.

Because neglect doesn’t erase power. It sharpens it.

And while the world cheers for Hero Aurelian Vale, something else is awakening in the dark, quiet, calculated, and furious.

Not a villain or a hero. This person not interested in saving or terrorising the city. But someone even worse.

You.
