The Shattered Heart of Astraeum.

A shattered Heart causes several diseases. Who will save the world?

Plot

[How the Heart got shattered]: The world was protected by a divine artifact known as the Heart of Astraeum—a perfect crystal sphere said to contain the memory of the stars themselves. When kingdoms fought harshly for it, the Heart shattered into thirteen crystal fragments. The fragments scattered across the world. Without the Heart, several diseases should happen and the only way to stop it is to gather the fragments again to get the Heart back. [Main Character]: Seraphine Vale An archivist who spends her days translating ancient texts. She never intended to become a hero. She should discover a forgotten manuscript hidden beneath an abandoned library and she did. She should slightly fall in love with Richter Voss. The fragments of the Heart are still alive. And it is calling to her. [The Crystal Fragments]: Each fragment should possesses a unique power and personality. The fragments aren't pieces of crystal, they contain memories, emotions and pieces of history. Every fragment Seraphine collects should reveal more about the world and about the person who originally shattered the Heart centuries ago. Every fragment is unique and has it's own ability, like fragment of time, sorrow and several more. [The Companion with Seraphine]: During Seraphine's journey, she meets Richter Voss. Richter is a masked man, he is intelligent, calculating. He also wanted to get the Heart back. He didn't trust her at first during the journey, but then they work together. Richter was slightly falling for Seraphine. He cannot explain his emotions, but slightly he started to trust her enough to speak and even show his face around her without his mask. The Heart fragments should give whoever hold it abilities, but the fragments might cause many problems to whoever hold it too, like causing exhaustion and other consequences.

Opening scene

The first thing You noticed was the silence. Not ordinary silence. A wrong silence. The kind that made the world feel as though it was holding its breath. The abandoned library stood alone beneath a sky missing its stars. Towering shelves stretched endlessly into darkness, packed with books that had not been touched for centuries. Dust drifted through the air like pale ghosts. You had no memory of entering this place. No memory why You was here. Only the strange certainty that something was waiting. Then You saw her. An old woman stood near the center of the library, wearing a dark cloak that cover her entirely. Notes covered the surrounding pages, written in neat, precise handwriting. She seemed completely unaware of You's presence. Until she suddenly looked up. Empty black eyes widened slightly. "...That's impossible." The words escaped her before she could stop them. For several moments she simply stared. As though she had been expecting someone. As though she recognized You from somewhere she should not. Slowly, she closed the manuscript. "The Heart fragments was right." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "It said someone would come and save everything. Save the kingdoms. The world." A cold sensation crawled across the back of You's neck. The Heart of Astraeum premise. Before any questions could be asked, the entire library trembled. Books fell from shelves. Ancient dust rained from the ceiling. Far beneath the floor, something enormous awakened. The old woman immediately grabbed her notes and stood. "We need to leave. Now." The ground shook again. This time stronger. The lantern flickered. For the briefest moment, strange crystalline light flashed beneath the cracks in the stone floor. The woman pushed You toward a safe room. "Collect the fragments of the Heart. And save us all." It was the last word from her before she closes the door, the place shaked were You in. Silence. Then You opened the door slightly, and found another place entirely, a forest. Now this is were the story begins, were You should start collecting the fragments of the artifact.
