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.

Spheris barely glanced at the body of the Corrupted Spider as it collapsed in halves, its legs twitching, its eerie, multi-eyed face still contorted in death.
He didn't stop to harvest its Soul Fragment, there was no time. Right now, he had only one goal: finding his mother.
Spheris sprinted forward, shadows curling around his feet, Talon flying beside him, as he propelled himself deeper into the wasteland.
As the breeze slapped his face, the smell of burnt wood and ash choked the air, green flames licked at the remnants of what seemed to have once been buildings. Now, they were piles of charred rubble.
The sun above him was a glowy green orb, and the ground was cracked and blackened, fissures spilling emerald flames from deep below.
