Faded_Ink

Kael was once a being so powerful even the gods feared him—until he was thrown into The Null, a realm of endless torment and eventually cast into inexistence. But he returns, reincarnated as a powerless beggar in a broken world ruled by monsters and corruption.

With memory of godly blood on his hands, he is determined to reclaim his strength, survive the Nexus's deadly trials, and tear down the heavens themselves.

But it's a matter of time before the gods and celestials know he’s returned. And this time, they will not make the same mistake twice.

The Inquisitor's blades caught the forcefield's jaundiced glare, edges serrated and glazed with a viscous, iridescent film.

Kael did not recognized the poison—*Borespite, distilled from the bile of Blightborne Ravager, potent enough to liquefy organs in seconds.

Lira sagged against Kael's side, her breath a wet rasp.

The Blight's corruption had spread like ink in water, violet lines clawing up her neck and etching fractured patterns beneath her eyes. Her fingers dug into his arm, trembling.

"Should've… robbed nicer people…"

The Inquisitor spun his twin blades in lazy arcs, their hum slicing through the Blightwind's low moan.

His armor—pristine white alloy scored with burn marks—creaked as he shifted his weight.

"Surrender the thief. The higher-ups might let you die quick."
