The Shadow Thief
In the city of Gravif, Axel, a notorious thief, 'stumbles' upon a powerful artifact. Upon unlocking its abilities, the artifact corrupts his mana, causing it to plummet to -1. With this strange glitch, Axel becomes an unstoppable force. However, Axel, preferring to operate under the radar, opts to conceal his new abilities, not one for unwanted attention. Yet, luck proves to be against him as the city of Gravif and its lurking demons have alternative plans. --- I'll keep writing 'The Blood Magic User' and release one new chapter every day. This is another project I'm working on, experimenting with the system tag and adding my own spin. Thank you for reading!

I tried to act normal, but the news that Karma and Myata were still alive sparked a flicker of hope in me. Saving them would be a death wish, highly trained elves like them could disintegrate me with a single spell, but I had to try. I had promised they'd be safe in the safehouse. But I was betrayed. They were caught because of me, because I was naïve. That damned snake Dorothea…
I grabbed the barrel of goat's milk and moved to the back of the counter, my mind racing. After a couple of minutes, Minho followed, placing a hand on my shoulder, his eyes searching mine.
"You holding up?" he asked, concern lacing his tone.
"Mm," I grunted, trying to mask my inner turmoil. "How's your mother?"
"She's doing better. Just took the medicine."
"Good…" I replied, though my mind was elsewhere.
Minho glanced over at Barton, who was making silly faces at Janet. "How's the baby? You think she'll be alright with just goat's milk?"
