Blood For Magic

Orion's life, marred by relentless tragedy, takes a dark turn with his grandfather's final message, unveiling the existence of an Ancient Organization and entrusting him with a foreboding task. With only a tattered map fragment and the burden of his family's shadowed legacy, Orion plunges into a world where malevolent magic holds it's sway over all and ancient terrors lurk within every corner. In this treacherous landscape where the lines between good and evil blur, even the gods play their hand, their motives as inscrutable as they are terrifying. Where will the sinister map drag him? What malevolent secrets make the gods so untrustworthy? And why was he fated to bear this harrowing burden? Only time will unveil the dread truths. As Orion delves deeper into the nightmare, he faces a destiny steeped in shadows, where survival means defying fate itself. For in a world where gods are either all-powerful or all-good, one thing is certain: they cannot be both.

"Is that right? Do you want in?"

Orion's gaze lingered for a moment, weighing the gravity of his decision. The allure of the Dark Continental had been his clandestine pursuit all along. After a brief pause, he finally acquiesced with a composed nod.

As the agreement settled, a sly grin crept across the shopkeeper's face, a silent acknowledgment of his victory. "Got you," he murmured to himself.

"I already know we'll both be weaving our tales," the shopkeeper admitted, his tone softening with sincerity. "But since you're privy to my code name, what shall I call you?"

Orion's response was curt, his focus unwavering. "It matters not. When?"

With each exchange, the tension between them simmered, yet the shopkeeper maintained his facade of geniality. "Tonight, at the stroke of ten if you want to participate in auction," he revealed, a glimmer of impatience threading through his words. "Or, if you prefer to deal individually, we can depart immediately."
