Hunting The Godkiller [Dropped]
TLDR: Famous detective and psychologist gets reincarnated to hunt down a serial killer in a fantasy world. [Epic fantasy with well thought out magic system and world map]
Arthur Hayes was a detective; those who had worked with him would call him the best in the world. Over his 20 year long career, he has profiled and tracked down the most cunning of predators, often making use of the most abstract clues to hunt down his prey. His exploits had earned him legend status within the Bureau, and great fame without. Although these days, he wishes he had taken a simple desk job after concluding his service in the Military.
When a deranged fan decided to create for him the perfect puzzle, Arthur's life was suddenly turned into a living hell. After four excruciating years of vague clues and false leads, he had finally tracked down his nemesis and exacted his vengeance, but not without being fatally wounded in the process. As he felt his life slip away, Arthur had only one wish; although he had never been religious, he wished that the afterlife was real, so that he may see his daughter once more.
He closed his eyes and felt his pain melt away, only to find himself standing naked before the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes upon. And she seemed to have a proposition for him:
"I will give you a new life with your daughter. In exchange, I need you to hunt someone down for me; someone who has killed a God."

WSA 2023 Entry. Please leave comments and let me know what you think of my novel.
I'll try to write a 2000 word chapter every day or two.
I'm aiming for 5 a week atm as a base number. 20 powerstones = 1 more chapter (Powerstones from myself don't count towards this).
Synopsis is work in progress. I will edit is as I release more chapters and get a better hold on what I want the plot to be.
This will be a fantasy novel, where there is an overarching plot of a serial killer who mc needs to hunt down. This serial killer is an artifact, which has the soul of the God of Death trapped within, and mc needs to rescue this soul to save the world. Artifact meanwhile becomes stronger by murdering and absorbing the knowledge and skills of powerful individuals, its goal is to become the most powerful being in the world so no one can destroy it and release the God of Death. MC is in a race agaisnt time while the world collapses around him.
The immediate plot will be regarding development of magical powers and mastering a certain set of skills. He will then try to build an International Spy Agency that will help him in his quest and control the international flow of information. The mc will be intelligent and rational, and use scientific thinking as much as possible.
I draw inspiration from many different works, and will try to give credit where it is due. This novel is very much an experiment for me, and would love to listen to any and all feedback.
