[WSA official entry.]
Kaladin was moments away from death—until Death himself showed up.
An orphan trapped in the clutches of his abusive aunt and uncle, Kaladin never expected a second chance. But when Death offers him a deal—a chance to bring his parents back—there’s only one catch: he has to retrieve something for the Grim Reaper in return.
With nothing left to lose and the fiery depths of Lucifer’s hell waiting to claim him, Kaladin makes his choice.
And just like that, his fate is rewritten.
I know, I know. How shameless do I have to be to slap a five-star rating on my own novel before even publishing a single chapter? But hey—some people just know greatness when they see it. And me? I see it in the mirror every morning. Don’t believe me? Just check my name. Now, let me answer the burning questions you didn’t even know you had. If I missed anything, drop a comment. I’ll answer it—because, clearly, I have too much free time. _____ 1. Why did you create this absolute masterpiece, Ego-san? Because I have a story to tell—and not just any story. A legend in the making. 2. Why did it take you so long to write this masterpiece, Ego-san? Ah, my dear reader, perfection isn't born overnight. Michelangelo didn’t rush the Sistine Chapel. I needed time to research, structure, and refine this tale until it gleamed like a blade in the moonlight. 3. So who's the main character, Ego-san? Is he a loser? A loser? No, no, no. Kaladin is far worse. He’s a survivor—and you know what’s scarier than a loser? Someone who refuses to die. Someone who has a purpose and the sheer determination to achieve it. At least, that’s what he believes. And belief? That’s the first step toward making the impossible happen. 4. Will Kaladin become overpowered? Let’s just say he won’t be sneezing Zeus out of existence even at his peak. This isn’t your typical "MC accidentally blinks and destroys a continent" kind of story. Kaladin needs time to grow, and even when he does, his enemies are centuries—hell, even millennia—older than him. He’s not going to power of friendship his way to victory. No sudden anime speeches, no last-minute "I remembered my childhood promise, so now I can punch through dimensions" nonsense. He’ll fight with his brain and use every tool at his disposal. And yeah, he’ll take hits. He’ll get knocked down. But you know what? He’ll get back up. 5. What about a harem, Ego-san? Will Kaladin drown in waifus and beauties? Please. My dear, thirsty readers, control yourselves. This ain’t that kind of story. Will there be romance? Yes. Will Kaladin be running around with ten goddesses, three demon queens, and a dragon girl thirsting over him? Absolutely not. So, if you’re here for "Harem Protagonist Simulator 3000," I kindly ask you to take your leave. 6. What about the villains, Ego-san? Are they just brainless brutes? What?! How dare you! This is an EgoForge™ production. You think I’d serve you cookie-cutter goons with an IQ lower than room temperature? The villains survived the tutorial castle. If they’re still breathing, they’re at least smart enough to kill and not get killed. Each one has their own personality, motivations, and goals. Some might even make you question whether Kaladin is the hero or the villain. _____ That’s all for now! Got more questions? Drop a comment. I answer them with the same level of care and dedication that I put into this novel. Peace out, EgoForge
