Chronicles of the Rift · M.A. Perkins
Xeovis was light, magic, and hard-won peace. Then its creator awoke inside it—mortal, hunted, nearly powerless—as the Shadow Realm tore the veil open.
Realm of Light
Shadow Realm
The world in one breath
Two rival powers bled each other through the Thousand Years War, never knowing the assassinations that began it were bait. When the Hisada arrived in glowing red armor, Sa`lem and Nashata stood together—or they disappeared.
Holy Light drove the first invasion back. Prophecy warned it would return. Centuries later the seals thin, portals open, and Tyler—the human who imagined Xeovis—enters his creation as Relyt with only a fraction of his former power.

Victory has consequences. Hunger becomes strategy, mercy becomes a weapon, and Relyt faces an enemy who can explain every cruelty without flinching.

Kingdom · Realm of Light
A prosperous realm anchored by the University and Talyon’s Cross. Magic, scholarship, and merchant guilds thrive here—and the first warnings of the Shadow Realm were studied here.
People of the fracture
Echo Party of the Creator era, the Shadow Hunters who first crossed the veil, allies of Ideia, and the four generals of the Hisada.
Creator era · Echo Party
A human creator trapped inside the world he designed. His knowledge is immense, his divine spark is real, and neither makes him invincible.
Creator era · Echo Party
Chancellor, mage, and logistical center of Relyt’s party. Key turns impossible campaigns into plans people can actually survive.
Creator era · Echo Party
A massive leonid sentinel—few words, full commitment. When T stands guard, the party breathes easier. His greatsword ends arguments.
Creator era · Echo Party
Ranger scout who wants food, shelter, clear objectives—and gets them done. Direct, no-nonsense, first into the practical work of survival.
Creator era · Echo Party
Spy, thief, and restless finder of things others miss. Holds a Tome of the Creator and a map fragment—terrified often, quitting never.
Creator era · Echo Party
Orc healer with an ER physician’s calm and a veteran’s dry humor. The one who looks like a bruiser is the one who puts people back together.
Creator era · Echo Party / Rangers
Noble mage attendant and ranger operative. Emotionally open, group-loyal, and more powerful than her compliant manners suggest—possible divine spark.
Book Zero · Shadow Hunters
Captain of the Shadow Hunters, Master of the University, survivor of four years in the Shadow Realm. Mismatched eyes, facial scar, and Light magic that sears the Hisada.
Book Zero · Shadow Hunters
Earnest soldier who becomes colonel. Not the flashiest caster—simply the one who never abandons his unit, or Olivia.
Book Zero · Shadow Hunters
Master of the University, founder of the Shadow Hunters, and the voice behind the prophecy. He trains generations to face what he has already seen.
Creator era · Ideia Rangers
Veteran ranger captain—weary authority, sunburst shield, cheek scar. Blends ranger precision with heavy infantry discipline and becomes a true ally to Relyt.
Creator era · Ideia
Monarch of the elven heartland. Her oath carries literal authority, and Ideia’s survival increasingly depends on whom she chooses to trust.
Shadow Realm · Kindred Four
Soul-trapper and disease-lord. Cruel in a casual way, subordinate to Typhon, defeated in his own void by Olivia Boll—and still a world-class threat.
Shadow Realm · Kindred Four
Destroys through starvation: burns fields, not luxuries. Cold, patient, and logistical—the strategist among the Four.
Shadow Realm · Kindred Four
Champion of might and fear. She divides armies, then erases the pieces. Red warhorse, red-glowing armor, door for the Hisada wherever she rides.
Shadow Realm · Kindred Four
Direct servant of Tyrellion. Handprint scar. Stronger than the other three combined. Where Typhon appears, the Shadow Realm is never far behind.
Opposite to Xeovis
Colder. Hungrier. Ruled by four demonesque generals—the Kindred Four—and Tyrellion above them. When portals open, the Hisada are first through.
I
Pestilence and disease. The weakest of the Four by measure—never by consequence.
II
Scarcity as weapon. Burns fields, not luxuries. Starves a kingdom without drawing a sword.
III
Might, war, and fear. Divides armies, then erases the pieces. Armor that glows red.
IV
The Hand of Tyrellion. Handprint scar. Stronger than the other three combined.
A compressed history
Sa`lem and Nashata flourish as peer realms, rich in trade, learning, and ambition.
Twin assassinations ignite a conflict neither kingdom understands.
Red armor crosses the veil. Old enemies unite beneath Holy Light.
Peace makes the warning easy to ignore. Portal research weakens old seals.
The maker enters his world. The search for the Tomes begins.
Returning to its first form
Xeovis began as a game world before becoming a novel series. That original ambition is being rebuilt through an Unreal project—interface language, character systems, artifacts, and a deep catalog of magic.
