Favourite Attendant
No one knows when the First Outbreak began. Some say divine wrath, others a cosmic mistake.
But when the Crimson Outbreak bled into the world, it didn’t strike, it seeped. It rotted the air, poisoned the land, and rewrote life itself. The Favourites call it Heaven’s essence.
So why does it burn everything it touches?
Henry Maxwell was a surgical student on the cusp of a brilliant future, elated by the approval of his international fellowship.
Then came death.
Reincarnated as Murphy Morroni in a realm steeped in the supernatural, he awakens blind and broken, surrounded by Hunters, demons, Curses, and the whispers of Ancient Ones.
In this world where reality bends and the divine corrodes, Murphy is no hero. Just a soul caught in the undertow of something vast and unknowable.
But fate? Fate has a cruel fondness for the Favourites.
Your Favourite Author here, Writing a review for your own book is always a little strange, but if you’re here, you’re probably wondering what this story is really about, and whether it’s worth your time. So let me give you a clear, honest picture of what Favourite Attendant offers. --- “So, what is this book actually about?” At its core, Favourite Attendant is a dark fantasy epic about survival, sacrifice, and the cost of power. It takes place in a world fractured by a divine outbreak—where celestial energy bleeds into reality, corrupting everything it touches. The story follows Murphy, a blind man reborn into a body not entirely his own, as he navigates a world of monstrous hierarchies, divine trials, and a sister who would burn the world to protect him. It’s a story about what happens when ordinary people are caught in the machinery of gods—and choose to fight back. --- “What kind of protagonist is Murphy?” Murphy is not your typical chosen one. He’s flawed, disoriented, and often overwhelmed. But he’s also sharp, stubborn, and deeply human. He doesn’t start with power—he earns every inch of it through pain, memory, and sacrifice. His journey is less about becoming a hero and more about reclaiming identity in a world that wants to erase it. --- “Is this one of those overpowered MC stories?” No. Power in this world comes at a cost—corrosion, madness, or worse. Murphy does become strong, but never invincible. Every fight is dangerous. Every victory is earned. If you enjoy stories where power feels earned and dangerous—this is for you. --- “What’s the tone like?” Think mythic, but grounded. The story blends poetic worldbuilding with gritty survival. There are moments of awe—divine descents, celestial domains, ancient chants—but also moments of quiet grief, moral ambiguity, and raw human emotion. It’s not grimdark for the sake of it, but it doesn’t shy away from the brutality of its world. --- “Is there romance?” There are emotional bonds, yes—especially between siblings, comrades, and those who share trauma. Romance will develop, but it’s not the focus. The emotional core of the story is loyalty, memory, and the tension between duty and desire. --- “How’s the worldbuilding?” Dense, layered, and deliberate. The Crimson Codex, the Divine Pathways, the cursed bloodlines, the soul cores, the monstrous taxonomy—it’s all there but introduced gradually and with purpose. If you enjoy discovering a world piece by piece, through action and character rather than exposition dumps, you’ll feel right at home. --- “How often is it updated?” Currently, I’m committed to regular updates. The pace may vary depending on the complexity of the chapters and my university schedule, but the story is active and ongoing. --- “Why 4.8 stars?” Because Favourite Attendant is the kind of story I’ve always wanted to read—one that treats its world with reverence, its characters with honesty, and its readers with trust. It doesn’t hold your hand. It doesn’t promise easy answers. But if you’re willing to step into the dark and walk the Path, I think you’ll find something worth remembering. If you’re looking for a fantasy that’s more than just magic and monsters—if you want myth, meaning, and momentum—then give it a try. And if you have questions, theories, or just want to talk lore, feel free to drop a comment. I read them all.
