Garden of the Abyss

Transported into another world, professional shut-in, Ren Nakamura, expects a path of ludicrous powers, fame, and glory; the classic tale of an otherworld hero saving a doomed world from the conquest of a tyrannical, almighty demon king. --What he receives instead, is a harsh reality check. Betrayed, beaten, and humiliated, he quickly learns the true nature of this world: it doesn’t cater to him in the slightest. Inept, gullible, and unsociable, he must cultivate himself into a proper person, if he hopes to survive in the ravenous world of Gaia. In a twisted, yet fantastical world of magic, knights, and dragons that persecutes otherworlders, Ren must overcome his “level zero” start and cultivate himself into someone capable of fighting off the obstacles of Gaia. The otherworlder-hunting Argonauts, the world-loathing cultists, and even the very aspects of sin themselves; these are just the tip of the iceberg on the troubles that await him on his journey. But it’s a harsh, cruel world filled with misery and darkness; he can’t do it alone. Friends are made, friends are lost--that is the nature of the path he must walk. This is not the story of a blessed, perfect hero, but of a flawed, young man who has to shed his weaknesses. Together, witness his journey into becoming not just a proper hero, but a proper human. — DISCORD: https://discord.gg/ph6qfFknqe -- If you want to support the author: https://ko-fi.com/delzgb https://paypal.me/delzgb --- Cover done by Izu

Stretch of Dry

[Old Treyna, Hollow Foundation Outskirts – "Stretch of Dry", Later That Day]

"The Stretch of Dry"—an infamous region of Old Treyna, infertile as the soil is barren of life and moisture.

In the midst of the summer, it reaches heights of heat that cause death to any unprepared, unsuspecting people within a day. 

Such a land, holds little respite—as you can see: 

"Nobody told me this place had this–!" He yelled out. 

"I thought I told you–or Mother did!" Iris yelled in return, running alongside him, "Old Treyna is infamous for its abnormal environment!"

Behind them, as they sprinted over the lifeless, cracked soil that made up the outskirts of the foundation, a towering wave of mud loomed over them. 

"I didn't hear squat!" 

Glancing behind him, the flaming, bulbous slimes squealed as they were caught in the jaws of the tsunami of sludge as it burrowed through the soil.
