Embrace the Ether
To burn away the old, rebuilding it anew.
Countless years ago, a terrible war came for the ancient Primordials, casting down their once believed immovable dominance and securing the rise of a new empire. The Ether was fractured, broken into numerous pieces as peace was hard-fought.
Thrown into this new hectic land, Deus must come to wield an unexplained power, one that threatens both his sanity and life simply to use. If he wishes to survive, he must learn not only how to harness this strength but how to grow and expand it, altering the path of those around him. What he doesn't know is that he's found himself involved in a terrifying plot hosted by those demons of old, a game of sorts to decide the fate of Midnight.
Does Deus have what it takes to survive, or has he found himself trapped in a plot he has no hope of escaping?

Note: This story has a slow-build and takes awhile for the pace to get going. If that isn't your thing, this may not be for you.
Heavy emphasis on world-building and character creation and progression.
Release schedule!
I don't have any specific schedule, and every time I make one it tends to end in tripping myself up after a few weeks. I will do everything in my power to release frequently enough, though.
Seeing comments and support help dearly, and absolutely give me that kick of inspiration I need to keep going.
I'd release more often, but it typically takes me well over 10+ hours to complete a single chapter when I aim for 2-2.5k words, and that doesn't include major post-writing proofing and plot-hole checks. I'd post more frequently if I had more time, but the day only has so many hours in it.
If you find any plot-holes or inconsistencies, I'd love to hear about them. Hit me up for a shout-out in my author's notes!
