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

City of Mursa

The air shifted. 

A strong breeze greeted Laemno as the darkness of the altar receded, clearing his blurry eyes with the gentle light of early afternoon. 

The muddy soil had changed to rocky ground at some point beneath his feet, and he smelled a hint of salt amidst the windy swirls, evoking familiar yet sorrowful memories of his previous life. 

Still, the shoddy shores of Earth could not hope to compare to the sprawling sight before him. 

Far underneath the jutting peak on which he had appeared, a half-submerged city of sapphire-carved domes and pale, concrete-sculpted structures extended as far as the eye could see. The glimmering stream of the Flickering Sea ran through raised canals wider than the Hallowed Road, coiling around the tall buildings in a mind-numbing feat of engineering.
