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.

• Second Calamity: Beast Influx

Snipers. They were large, fast birds, each with a wingspan stretching nearly ten feet. Their feathers were a dark and mottled brown, which blended ideally with their natural habitat — the rocky terrains.

They had elongated beaks, shaped like a trumpet, from which they could shoot needle like deadly projectiles with pinpoint accuracy. Their beaks were serrated, eyes red, talons hooked and razor-sharp, a giant horn on top of their heads and a long tail.

However, what made the Snipers truly terrifying was their hunting method. In flocks, they would take to the skies, circling high above until they sighted a prey on the ground. Then, they would dive with incredible speed, releasing a volley of their needle-like projectiles from their beaks.

These projectiles could pierce through armor and flesh with ease, killing their prey instantly. After the projectiles had done its job, the Snipers would swoop down to feast on the dead prey.
