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.

Buzz!

The sound struck his ear with potency, and Spheris groaned, then it disappeared almost as soon as it had arrived.

The crystalline nodes flared with light, and they casted magical patterns, connecting into each other like neon spiderwebs across the chamber. Spheris felt a subtle tug in his core, as if the chair was pulling something out of him, extracting the raw data of his existence.

He tried to ignore the tickling pain, but it was quite irritating; like an insect scratching its clawed thorax on the base of his spine.

He noticed his vision dimming slightly, not from darkness, but from the overwhelming flood of information being processed within him.

But within his core, there was a battle ongoing, between his mind and the Essence Chair's intrusive energy.

You see, the Essence Chair was not just measuring his power; it was dissecting it, unraveling the layers of his identity, his strengths, his weaknesses.
