Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian- just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons, even if they're icky. 

For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib that, while irritating, seemed harmless. Such convictions are put to test when a ruined goddess stretches her hands from beyond the Sands of Time and grasps his fate, blurring the line between fact and fiction. Now torn away from his former life on Earth, Lukas finds himself trapped in an underground cavern with no escape in sight and hundreds of questions.

In a world where vicious monsters stand in the way of answers, where even the smallest of insects see him as prey, the road most traveled is one littered with corpses.

Well met wanderer! You have stumbled upon a world weaver, a strange and rare being that draws the thread of stories from the maw of the void for your delight and entertainment. And boy do I have something for you. Before you is a story about a world in which magic has appeared for the very first time and Atef, the protagonist is its first wielder. This LitRPG adventure will follow his path and all associated events with the aid of DICE. As a true world weaver I wanted to innovate upon the established practice of LitRPG and add a new layer to it which will shape up the story in a free-flowing manner by adding randomness. I've tied Atef's progression and future key events to dice rolls whose previews are available on Patreon a week before the new episode is out. They will be related to his magic skills, madness, secret roll, special events and many others to come. Please note that the first 7 episodes of the story are introductory and the progression starts as of episode 8. I will post the rolls for the next week's episode and this week's episode every Friday 8 p.m. ET (which is 5 p.m. PT) and I will always strive to stick to this schedule. Finally, please note that I am writing about a world which is going to go through a tremendous change because of what Atef has discovered, but I am also writing a story about finding oneself, growing and learning whilst fighting problems which are both external and internal. I intend to write this story for a long time to come and I would appreciate if you could stick around and support me along the way. I have a lot of ideas for its future and I must say I am really excited and I hope you will be excited with what I am putting out as well! Expect it to be a slow burn, mixing in high stakes and side events, lots of characters and intense world building. Alas, it is a world touched by magic for the very first time! Enjoy every line, paragraph and episode of it!

AI audiobook version https://fictionate.me/my-books/817246DA-5D78-42B6-BAA2-AE9D3BF8AFC8 "Resonance//Dissonance" is a fantasy, grimdark, and drama web novel set in modern-day Poland. The protagonist, Lukas, is a 22-year-old bartender nicknamed "UnLucky Luke." Despite his rough exterior, he is a warm person, striving to provide others with what he himself lacked during his toughest times. However, when a bar fight leads him to discover a hidden magical world behind the veil of reality, his life takes a drastic turn. As Lukas navigates this new world, he realizes that it is rife with prejudice and injustice, mirroring the reality he knows. He learns that the reality he has always known is merely a facade concealing a multitude of magical realms, each harboring their own dark secrets and dangers. These realms are interconnected, forming a network of horrors and wonders. The powers Lukas awakens within himself are considered repulsive and despised by most denizens of the magical world. They become both his greatest curse and his strongest motivation. As he journeys through the world of magic and delves into the depths of his own being, Lukas experiences horror, pain, determination, and possibility. To survive in a world where magic, power, and influence reign supreme and he is considered insignificant, Lukas must find a way to come to terms with his powers and himself. Hello, everyone! I'm a beginner writer. After five years of reading hundreds of novels, I've decided to give writing my own a try. Please note that all characters, events, and places mentioned here are fictional. I enjoy chaotic and dynamic storytelling, so that's what you can expect from my work. I've started a Discord server as I've heard it helps, and I genuinely wish to hear your opinions and suggestions personally. If you'd like to support me, I have a PayPal and a Ko-fi page. https://discord.gg/2wYqSAsUwB buycoffee.to/ertyxis
