"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." Ikaris, a genius student admired, exploited, and hated all his life for his brilliance, suddenly finds himself transmigrated into The Forsaken Lands, a fantasy world of myriad species born with the ability to use magic with imagination as their only limit. Alas, this gift carries a curse. The more you use it, the closer you are to death. After thousands of years of decline, the Free Races are fast approaching their demise, their survival threatened by this curse and an enemy that will not rest until it has devoured them all. Literally. Former allies and enemies, prey and predators are now cornered behind a huge wall, forced to collaborate to resist their invader. But can so much resentment and hatred be washed away so easily? Can predators and prey really overcome their instincts in the face of a common foe? Follow him on his journey from an ordinary human to a shining existence that will overturn the order established since the dawn of time. From an innocent soul to a merciless demon. From a human to something else. ----- Discord link: https://discord.gg/d8udP7Q
"No kidding!" Magnus sneered. "Your basic fitness attributes are above 20. Do you even know what that represents? That Skeleton doesn't even have muscles and wasn't using any of its Sparks when you ambushed it from behind. What did you honestly expect?"
"That's why I sneaked up on him." Ikaris grunted in his head. "There's no need to be so scathing."
"It's for your own good that I say that." The old Vampire replied in a softer voice." If he had seen you, it might have been different. Don't underestimate inferior races like humans or this skeleton. A human Body Sorcerer might only have two to three times the basic strength and agility of a human, but if he uses a spell at the right time he can multiply it by 5, 10, 50 or even much more if the circumstances are right. The number of occurrences of hate-crazed Apprentice Sorcerers killing Grandmaster Sorcerers and even Magi is not common, but throughout the long history of the Forsaken Lands it's not that rare either.
