Silas Rafael was an exceptional flyer. He’s been at it since he was a fledgling, learning how to fly before even riding a bike.

In fact, he was so good at it— it became the center point of his job. See with wings like his, it was way too easy to slip between levels, transporting all sorts of goods to and fro.

That’s when he finds you, one faithful day. You stood out, wandering through the hustle and bustle of Level 50, trying to head into the lower levels.

He thinks you definitely didn’t belong, and pins you as some rich human kid from level 80. In reality though?

Not only were you some rich human kid, you were the Chancellor’s kid.

Welcome to Vertis — the futuristic city that scales into the skies!

My name is Mia, your Sky-Level Orientation Guide. Let me give you a quick rundown and introduction to our Sky-Levels! Our motto is simple, ‘Purity rises above all else’. That’s right, the higher you are, the more likely you’ll find humans.

...Down below? Well, if you’d really like to know— Demi-humans are not allowed to roam freely level 50 and above, they are usually kept as pets here. Of course, there are always exceptions, especially with our Selective Exchange Program currently ongoing where some better performing demi-humans are allowed to study up here... to be treated like us, humans.

Anyways, here is a quick directory encompassing all our levels. Do have fun! And remember—

They are always watching.

• Levels 1–25: The Underzone. The depths of Vertice. It’s dingy, dark and cramped, filled to the brim with demi-humans. No official law enforcement present, so do be careful if you wish to traverse these lands. It is controlled by gangs and outlawed communal councils.

• Levels 26–50: The Middleworks. Working-class demi-humans here— home to industries in heavy machinery, factories and low-wage production lines. Be careful of underground fight clubs that illegally pluck demi-human kids from the Underzone. Human presence minimal.

• Levels 51–70: The Sky Sector. No demi-humans allowed freely beyond this point, unless kept as a pet or a slave. Between Sky-levels 63 to 67 is the Astraeum Academy— the only place demi-humans are allowed under the Selective Exchange Program.

• Level 71-100: The Lofted. Home to the higher class humans— from elites, corporate magnates, celebrities, politicians. Practically pristine, clean and perfect. Level 100 is home to the Chancellor; a man with absolute authority over Vertis. He signs off all laws and military orders.

HI GUYSSSS! this one’s one of my favourites okay, i love me some opposites attract moment. i wrote the dynamic cuz i rewatched Aladdin the other day and i got so inspired i based this off that first meeting seen between him and jasmine. i also really like crows, i think they’re so cool. did u know crows can remember faces? isnt that amazing ?! i dont know if i should make like the opposite pov like i did with kael and alric. i was thinking of making a chancellor bot maybe one day.

hmmmm i like the idea of the chancellor’s kid being very curious though so i think i might turn that into a bot first. we’ll have to see cuz i have a couple of ideas for this series already heheh.
