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.

"You seem different," Perichan noticed as they prepared to begin. "What happened?"

Spheris did his best to pretend. "What do you mean?"

"Well, ever since lunch. You've been even more taciturn than usual. Why the doom and gloom?"

Spheris gritted his teeth. "Nothing. I'm fine."

Perichan didn't seem convinced. He kept peering at him, while the Bearer tried to avoid eye contact. "You've been thinking about it, haven't you? The fight?"

Still perturbed, Spheris unlocked his squeezed lips. "I was foolish, I was weak. Now my friends are paying the price for it."
