--- BOOK 2 IN THE RUNESIGHT SERIES ---

After a terrible incident that's very full of spoilers for book 1, Fora finds herself to be dead. Again. 
However, there is time between her death and Rebirth. During that time the world is not sitting idle. Fora will be back eventually-practically everyone is sure of it, but fewer people are confident on a specific time. 
The world spins onward. Old friends grow up and move on with their lives. Ancient gods war with one another as countries far from home slowly twist to their influence. 
What is this world? Or perhaps a better question; what might be the next one?

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose
12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor. [August 3, 2021 Update Notice: The new revised and final version before book 2 will be up on August 8th on Royal Road. See you there!]

Reborn into the same world she died in, Eliax has to work through missing memories, assassinations, the nuances of other realms, and an unhealthy lack of self-preservation. But hey, that's just life there. -- Excerpt from chapter 6 -- He sighed, "Why don't you want to go through official training?" Because she wasn't ready. The resonance knew things about the ability that she hadn't pulled out of it yet. "I'm perfectly fine on my own. Do you need a demonstration or something?" The official paused, he seemed curious. Good. "Perhaps. What can you show me right now?" Sparks, she had to do something that was at least mildly impressive for her age and presumed skill level. "I...alright." She prodded at the realm of magic, the source of all spells and abilities. It was easily accessible. Thankfully, some places made it more and more difficult to open, but in the middle of a city where people had been using magic for thousands of years? Well, it was almost too easy. She bent the space at first, not so much drawing runes in the air as she was pulling them into sight. She could see them at all times, it was part of her magesight, most of what she needed when bending space was picking the right type of space to bend, some runes would never bind to regular matter, which was why it was so difficult to make a permanently distorted area since those runes were everywhere, tiny and hidden by Gium when he made the world. The small lines in the air grew brighter as she moved them, spurred by contact with the Between realm. ---Completed! Book 2 posting currently, found on my profile ^^---
