The sky is broken. The world is dying. Maia and her father, Matthias, survive in the Wastelands, scavenging forgotten ruins and navigating the chaotic Red Market. But there's more to their lives than just survival. They're scravs—gifted great powers but bound by Fatebonds, divine tasks from gods long dead. Failure means death. But what happens when those Fatebonds are no longer clear? When Matthias pushes them to flee after a run-in with dangerous enemy scravs, Maia starts to question everything. What dark secrets lie in her father's past? Why is his growing obsession with their Fatebonds suddenly frightening her? And most importantly—what is it that Maia must do to fulfil hers? As shadows of the past close in and the world crumbles around them, Maia must decide whether to follow in her father’s footsteps or break free from the fate that binds them both. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule: 2 chapters per week, releasing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Author note: Set in a post-apocalyptic world where ancient tech and forgotten powers rule the wastelands, this story follows Maia, a scrav—a young girl gifted (or cursed) with strange abilities tied to her Fatebond. Alongside her mercenary father Matthias, Maia is drawn into a world of danger, mystery, and powerful forces beyond their control. Beneath a Falling Sky combines elements of adventure, discovery, and deep character growth, all set against the backdrop of a crumbling world full of untold secrets. Think Final Fantasy meets Dune with a bit of LitRPG flair and that focus on emotional character development you’ve come to expect from my writing.  If you’re into stories with complex characters, epic journeys, and a bit of mystery, give it a shot! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Warnings: LitRPG & Progression System: This is LitRPG story but many of the common elements that readers of LitRPG would be familiar are slow on arrival with many pieces of the system only coming in later chapters. "Profanity": There's a bit of cursing in this, if you don't like that, don't read it.
