Seven kids with extraordinary gifts embark on an impossible mission: to reunite with their lost family scattered among the stars.Impeding this long-belated reunion are corrupt organizations, mad wizards, legendary beasts, an interplanetary maze, and the demons within.To overcome these obstacles, they’ll have to train their minds and bodies to master the mixed curses and blessings of their magical lineage. If they’re lucky, and keep heart, they may gain some allies along the way.Because, while one finds fear in a handful of dust, friends who raise their fists together can prevail.

This is a fantasy adventure with slow-burn romance, ongoing mysteries, and the gradual introduction of progression mechanics.

It's a really intriguing story, the subjects tackled are actually more mature than you would expect by looking at the main characters age and that's what keeps me invested, but... that's also the cause of my only 'real' issue with the story... they really don't act they age, I think they should be at least 2 or 3 yrs older.
I see a great potential here, so I hope they will grow fast, like... time-skip fast :)

This story clearly draws inspiration from the SCP wiki, down to the very familiar files with chunks of redacted text that interleaf the more narrative sections. However, the narrative is not focused entirely on the scientists containing the anomalous beings, but also from the point of view of the anomalies themselves. It's not quite my cup of tea personally, but it's fairly well written and fans of that style of work will probably enjoy it.
