A Riftborn in the Ancient World
For the first time in eternity—Ethan Cross was just a man.
No golden flames.
No reality-breaking abilities.
No instant death powers.
Just a very annoyed (and very hungry) Riftborn trapped in ancient history.

The Village of Kael – A Different Time

The roads weren't paved. They were dusty, uneven paths, packed with people shouting, bargaining, and gossiping.
Wooden carts rattled past, filled with everything from fresh fruits to hand-forged weapons. The air was thick with the scent of roasted meat, burning firewood, and something vaguely suspicious.
Ethan's stomach growled.
