The World Below
A divine memory that shapes reality. A living game that devours souls. And an Oracle who remembers the future before it happens.
The World Below is an epic science-fantasy saga centered on Marro Veldran—the Oracle of Cetia-243, a woman transformed into the living vessel of Arath-Bar, a god who remembers across infinite timelines. From the golden spires of the galactic capital, she witnesses divine will made manifest through the Board—an organic, pulsing map of war where the eight Great Houses wage their endless conflicts on the fractured world of Caldereth below.
But the Board is no mere strategic tool. It is alive, feeding on chaos and memory, transforming real soldiers into game pieces that bleed, scream, and die at the whims of the Archons who move them. Each wager reshapes fate. Each move rewrites history. And Marro, beautiful and terrible in her prescient power, speaks the words of a god who has already seen every possible ending.
Cetia-243 gleams as the empire's heart—a world of obsidian towers and orbital platforms where power flows through bureaucratic channels and diplomatic games. Yet beneath its polished surface lies the chamber where the Board was discovered, where ancient technology merged divine consciousness with political machinery, creating a system that treats war as entertainment and memory as currency.
Far below, on Caldereth—the world that echoes across timelines—Major Sora Virelle emerges as an impossible piece on the Board. A soldier who should not exist, fighting battles that reshape the game itself. As the Pantheon of Archons moves their forces in patterns both strategic and ritualistic, she must navigate a reality where every choice has been remembered by a god who exists outside of time.
For readers of Dune, The Left Hand of Darkness, and The Locked Tomb, The World Below weaves metaphysical horror with military precision, exploring a universe where divine omniscience meets political intrigue, and where the greatest weapon is not technology, but the power to remember things differently.
