Death is inevitable—unless you seize control of fate itself.
Erasmus has never believed in gods. Faith is a tool, a system to manipulate, a currency to be spent. As a priest, he preaches salvation while quietly siphoning power, turning devotion into influence, and blind belief into wealth.
But when the sky fractures and the world collapses into something unrecognizable, Erasmus finds himself trapped in a realm where logic is an illusion and the unknown is alive.
Here, the ground murmurs secrets. The air devours memories. The trees do not sway—but they watch.
Stranded in a land where identity itself is prey, Erasmus does what he has always done: observe, adapt, and take control.
But in a world that feeds on the mind before the body, ambition alone may not be enough.
Something in the dark is listening.
And it does not forget.
Hello! I'm likelight and this is my first time writing a novel. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try answering them. The rating I put is what I hope the full novel will be considered as. :)
