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.

Silent yet echoing footsteps filled the corridors the party passed. Spheris was behind the Head Marshal and the nurse, gazing at her movements: her hips moving with grace, her white robes flowing behind her like a ghostly trail.

But Spheris's mind was not there at all. His presence had been sucked into his mind, like a frightened turtle in its shell. Each step he took seemed to increase the weight in his chest, the anticipation and anxiety building with every turn and staircase they ascended.

There was excitement in his heart, but also fear... nervousness. It had been over a month since he last saw her, and throughout that month, he had slain beasts, leveled up, defeated adversaries all so he could come back to her.

But now, as he walked these halls, doubt gnawed at him. He worried if he could defeat the fear of facing her. Was he strong enough to mend the rift his disobedience had caused?
