The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

Coils of dark-red blood emerged from the shimmering tide, parting it in two. 

Vincentius braced himself with a lower stance, frowning as he glared at the silver-masked boy. "What kind of magecraft is this?" 

More importantly, that's not the firepower of an Occultist. He was among the participants, meaning he's not a Thaumaturge from the Neoteric Syndicate. Who is he?

"You countered that? Impressive," the boy said in a haughty tone. 

Vincentius snickered. "You're gravely mistaken if you think that spell was enough to beat me." 

This is troublesome, but I'll have to kill him first.

"Oh? That was merely the first step of an ongoing process. Layered plans are the keys to victory, after all." 

The moment the masked boy finished speaking, the blood sea stirred.
