Mortal Bones, Divine Ashes

The peaceful world is nothing but the altered embers of an ancient age. Beneath the bustling cities, secret histories lie buried for millennia. The Ember Clan, which once ruled the universe, fell in a cataclysm. Its bloodline scattered across the world, giving rise to the Emberborn, who bear the sins of countless ages. They hide among the crowds and attend Star Ruins Academy, which masquerades as a top school. Though still teenagers, they command the language of embers, slay ferocious beasts, and suppress the remnants of ancient masters, preserving a peace ordinary people will never know about. Lin Ye, a transparent boy who always ranked at the bottom and went unnoticed, thought his life would end in mediocrity. He had no idea that the only ancient bloodline in the world with two sequences was sealed inside him. A cold, aloof genius and battle god; a girl of reincarnation who has seen through fate; a gentle ray of sunshine bearing the Origin of Destruction; and a seeker of light burdened by an old, unsolved injustice... Fate bound a group of lonely teenagers together on the same path of slaughter. The lights of campus glow warm and bright, while the depths of the ruins are cold and filled with bones. Every time the language of embers is unlocked, it drains the soul. Every time their bloodline surges, they draw closer to the inescapable fate of ember-corruption. The world enjoys the comforts of ordinary life, while the young press on, burdened by sin. With mortal bones, they resist the divine ruins; with their youth, they atone for the sins of the ages. Yet no one knows that this redemption, which began with their meeting, has already filled the unknown final chapter of a thousand-year cycle of reincarnation.
