The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• Spheris's Promises

'What are you doing, Spheris?'

"What?" Spheris blinked his eyes open and saw that he was in a space coated with darkness. He pulled himself to his feet, and looked around.

It was pitch black. Everywhere. And he couldn't even feel his surroundings with [Perception].

'Do you remember your promise?' the voice said again.

Spheris frowned, shifting his gaze around the obscurity. "What promise?"

'Your silent oath. You whisper it every night before you sleep. Do you remember?'

Now Spheris was getting a little confused and worried. The voice speaking to him sounded nothing like Obsidian, and this lightless void did not feel like the fake afterlife. Where was this? Who was that?

His voice did not sound too unfamiliar, there was something about it that was recognizable, and as Spheris walked deeper into the dark void, he began to suspect who it could be.
