The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

The Nobilitas

"What a surprise. I can't say I expected you, of all people, to come seeking my help, Adelphas." 

Icilia was reclined on a patch of grass, eyeing the proud magus before her. He was bruised and wounded all over, with blood streaks scattered across his otherwise refined garb. Despite his injuries, he strived to maintain regal bearing and poise.

His meek-looking blond companion, Phaedro, dragged the limp Pellio and Gessius on his back.

"I see you've found your match. How was your little scuffle with Sethre?" 

"You know him?" Adelphas frowned. 

"Contrary to all expectations, this poor wench is an easily scared weakling," Icilia spoke derogatorily of herself without a hint of shame. "Weaklings are incentivized to gather as much information about the strong as possible, for survival is our only prize, and we can leave nothing to fate."
