Aetherium Anchors

by Zackary Taylor

In a future built on perfection, humanity has forgotten what it means to be human.

Aetherium Anchors follows Kael Thorne, a genetically enhanced warrior designed to embody strength through vulnerability. When his creator replaces him with a flawless, emotionless replica, Kael must confront the truth that perfection has a price, and freedom has been rewritten as a flaw.

Joined by a team of outcasts each “anchored” by their emotions, memories, and scars, Kael sets out to challenge a system that values design over destiny. Their mission takes them beyond the borders of the known world, into the heart of The Nihil Core, a sentient force seeking to erase everything imperfect.

As reality unravels, Kael must face a choice that defines what it means to be alive:
Will humanity remain bound by control… or rise, imperfect yet free?

With its blend of sci-fi intensity, emotional depth, and philosophical reflection, Aetherium Anchors is not just a story; it’s a mirror held up to the soul. It explores love, loss, and the fragile strength that connects us all.

Zackary Taylor delivers a hauntingly beautiful vision of the future, one where the greatest rebellion is to feel.

Inside Aetherium Anchors

Step beyond the illusion of perfection, and enter a world where emotion is rebellion.

Each chapter of Aetherium Anchors pulls you deeper into a universe where science and spirit collide, and the human heart becomes the last untamed frontier.

The Core Worlds

Explore sprawling cities powered by light and silence, where memories can be rewritten and freedom is a forgotten word. Beneath the steel and symmetry, cracks begin to form… and Kael Thorne stands at the edge of both creation and collapse.

The Anchors

Meet the ones who refused to break, warriors, dreamers, and survivors connected not by blood, but by truth. Each carries an Anchor, a fragment of what makes them human: grief, love, courage, hope, the very emotions the new world tried to erase.

The Creator’s Shadow

Every perfect system hides its flaws. Kael’s creator sought to build gods — emotionless, eternal, unshakable. But when Kael begins to remember, creation turns on its maker.

The Nihil Core

A sentient force beyond comprehension, feeding on despair, rewriting minds, and erasing worlds. The final battle isn’t fought with weapons, but with will.

The Choice

To remain bound by design… or to rise, imperfect yet free
