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 knocked on the door and took a step back, waiting for a response. Sura stood beside me, cradling a glass of goat's milk in one hand and holding a white blanket she'd bought with the other. The weight of what I had to explain to her – how I'd come into so much gold in such a short period – was pressing on my mind. 8,900 gold wasn't easy to come by. With that much, we could have moved to Idemi District and gotten ourselves a proper home. But instead, we were here, trying to get Janet into an orphanage, which would cost us nearly half of what we had.

Sura glanced at me, offering a tired smile. Dark circles under her eyes revealed the sleepless night she'd endured while caring for Janet. Her shoulders sagged with exhaustion, and her hair was a mess. My poor sister – she hadn't closed her eyes all night, looking after the baby.

"You good?" I asked, concern lacing my voice as I looked at her. "You should sleep early today. I can take care of Janet."
