The Raven Thief
Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.
• Celestial Possession
Spheris could feel the life draining out of him as he continued to choke. The crowd disappeared from sight, his eyes became teary, dazed and his head became dizzy.
In the back of his mind he could still hear Obsidian shouting, yelling at him to give him control. Though now it sounded more like someone speaking to him through water.
While in front of him, blurring away from sight was Pa Tsuna's hostile face as he continued to squeeze the life out of him.
Was he the last face Spheris would ever see? It didn't have to be, all he had to do was to activate [Celestial Possession].
That was all he needed to save his life, to save the lives of his companions, to save the life of his mother. However, what would the consequence be? What would unleashing a literal God on land do to the world? Would other lives be lost in his pursuit to save those closest to him?
