Reverend Sovereign
“Remember my name. In me, shadows of obscurity give way to the light of enlightenment. I am the whisper that will grow into a roar, the flicker that will blaze into a conflagration. From an unassuming nobody, I shall rise.” In a world where magic is the essence of life and one's social standing is determined by their mastery of mana, a young man named Klaus awakens with no memory of his past. Dungeons and dimensional gates dot the landscape, spawning fearsome creatures that pose a constant threat to the magical realm. Society thrives on the power of mana, yet Klaus finds himself an anomaly in this world, unable to harness the mystical energies that others control so effortlessly. Fate, however, has greater plans in store for Klaus as he embarks on a journey to uncover the truth of his origin. Witness Klaus's meteoric rise as he emerges from the shadows of obscurity and ascends to the pinnacle of power. From an unassumed nobody to the Reverend Sovereign.
Tangled Path
Klaus nodded in agreement, a thoughtful expression painted across his face. "You're right," he admitted, "which is why I've decided to negotiate with Margaret once I return to the village. I'll offer to decipher twenty of her books in exchange for a mana core."
"Deciphering?" The octopus tilted her head, her eyes revealing her confusion. "What do you mean? And who is this Margaret?"
He inhaled deeply, taking a moment to collect his thoughts before diving into an explanation. With a storyteller's detail, he began to unravel the mystery of Margaret: who she was, how they had come across each other, and the events that had transpired between them.
As Klaus concluded his tale, he found himself under the strange, penetrating gaze of the octopus, her beady eyes expressing a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
