Shining Abyss: Drowning My Depression In Another World

An almost 20 year old man answered the call of the void and meeting his end in his own hands. Upon his gruesome death, he realized he made a terrible mistake. Wracked with unimaginable amounts of regrets and trauma, from both his past and recent events, he is forced to self-reflect and introspect within a Abyss, where nothing but black darkness is all he can see. Faced with the reality that the afterlife might just be this Abyss where you float aimlessly, forced to reflect and regret for all eternity. But more hides within the darkness, as suddenly... the dark Abyss would suddenly start to shine. A bright white light shimmering across him as he is reincarnated. And vowing to never make that same mistake, he is determined to drown his depression and find happiness... all as something in the background lurks and grows. A great danger and mystery that he must soon uncover, as neither a powerful hero or a powerful fighter, or he will never see that happiness he seeks.

Preface

A story written by me, myself and I, The Elusive Toutawoo. I am 17, almost 18 and well, it's my first time actually writing a novel. This book comes from a big place in my heart, created in a time where things hit hardest and I was at my lowest. So in a sense, I'd like this to be a book of hope, even if it is extremely depressing. And my dream is that one day, this gets animated! Ya know, become an anime and all?

I mean, the way I write is going to be mimicking Japanese light novels (turned into a English Webnovel)... because honestly, I was extremely inspired by it. Mushoku Tensei was honestly what made me want to write in this first person perspective and all. But ey, we're all nerds in the end.

However, joking asides—one last thing. I am very descriptive in my writing, usually, so there's a few things in this novel that I'd like to address. A content disclaimer. The novel has very dark themes such as graphic description of violence or things like suicide, addiction and such.

So that's a content disclaimer within this book. Reader's discretion is advised, and I apologize for any problems or inconveniences in advance! Otherwise... the story will start off in modern time— Japan—where we follow the journey of our protagonist, a broken man that imches closer to the call of the void. Just another guy having real rough time.

And with that... let's begin.

Welp. Once you read this, its straight to meat of it. I hope ya enjoy it!

PS; I am new to this. I have recently learned you don't write the chapter name before hand. I feel really dumb right now... but otherwise, this Preface will sadly just be here. Next time I will Author thoughts. apologies.
