The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

Amaranthine Lady

Laemno stood bemused at the exchange between the hag and the assassin.

He listened to Nysa's mumblings, then moved his gaze to her interlocutor. His lips curved into a smirk following an intrusive thought, and he blurted out before he could gauge his words, "You don't seem like a simple old woman to me, much less a Lady."

The hag answered his taunt with a smile. "Amusingly enough, you do resemble Him."

"Resemble who?" Laemno inquired.

"That, you do not need to know yet." She lowered her bluish cane, grasping the horn of the humanoid skull with two bony fingers. "I am certain you will learn of it soon enough, however."

Laemno narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

The hag chuckled. "Exactly what I said, boy. His concealing miasma is already wafting alongside the coils of your Mana. Had I not planted a tracking spell on dear Nysa, finding the both of you would have been a considerable hurdle."
