In the city of Gravif, Axel, a notorious thief, 'stumbles' upon a powerful artifact. Upon unlocking its abilities, the artifact corrupts his mana, causing it to plummet to -1. With this strange glitch, Axel becomes an unstoppable force. However, Axel, preferring to operate under the radar, opts to conceal his new abilities, not one for unwanted attention.

Yet, luck proves to be against him as the city of Gravif and its lurking demons have alternative plans.

I'll keep writing 'The Blood Magic User' and release one new chapter every day. This is another project I'm working on, experimenting with the system tag and adding my own spin. Thank you for reading!

The Shadow Thief

I closed the door behind me and let myself collapse onto the bed. I was exhausted and needed to forget that this day had ever happened. While lying down, I removed my boots and discarded my leather armor. Reaching for the curtains from where I lay, I closed them. Sura was already asleep in her bed, just a few meters away. Since our home had only one room, we had to share the same space.

I shut my eyes, my breathing becoming slower. I could feel sleep creeping over me, which was a welcome relief.

I heard someone calling my name from afar, their voice barely audible. My vision was dark, but I could hear my way out. The waves, the birds chirping, the trees swaying in the wind behind me – I was near a shore. My feet touched the hot sand; it was probably early morning.

Slowly, my vision returned. The deep blue sea had waves, but they weren't moving, as if time had stopped.
