Under A Registered Sky[ Vox Mortalis ]

Summary:

In the dark, controlled world of Vox Mortalis, humans are born into Elyrian run “farms,” trained from childhood to compete in deadly singing competitions. These contests are far more than performances they are life or death trials, where a single misstep can cost a contestant their life. Under the cold gaze of the Elyrians, an alien species who treat humans as tools and entertainment rather than people, every note carries weight, every score determines survival, and every performance is a battle for both body and soul. In this merciless arena, love, loyalty, and ambition collide with fear and despair, and only those who master both music and the human heart can hope to survive.

Chapter 1: Let Vox Mortalis Begin

Notes:

This work, Vox Mortalis, is inspired by Alien Stage by Vivinos, and all characters featured in this story are entirely my own original creations.
