"Even power born from a curse has a price-and sometimes, the cost is everything."
In a world ruled by sword and sorcery, adventure calls to the brave-and Ryn answered. But despite his dreams, he remains at the bottom, mocked and dismissed as the lowest-ranked adventurer. What they don't see is the burden he carries... and the secrets he keeps hidden beneath his calm exterior.
During a routine dungeon dive, fate takes a cruel turn. Ryn falls into the abyss-only to rise again, marked by a mysterious curse that grants him terrifying new power. But every gift has a cost, and his is slowly unraveling the man he once was.
Driven by a long-forgotten promise and haunted by a force that watches his every move, Ryn walks the line between salvation and ruin. As betrayal, battle, and truth close in around him-he must decide: will he control it... or will it consume him?
This is the story of a man who crawled through hell to reach the light.

Waiting for Evangeline (Godling: Scions of Order and Chaos #0)
When your soul is too balanced to judge... the gods send you back to tip the scale! Creation and Destruction. Order and Chaos. Two forces eternal, twin truths of the Universe.

In their stillness lies potential - coveted by both sides, claimed by divine hands, and cast once more into life. This is the story of one such soul. Torn from the Soul's Abyss and touched by gods, he is reborn into a strange land at the foot of a mountain that scrapes the sky. He has no name, no past, and no clear future. The others call him simply: Nullis. Before him lies a proving - a gauntlet of magic, monsters, and mystery where power reigns and alignment reveals itself in every choice. Will Nullis ascend and earn true rebirth in the land of the living? Or will he fall once more into the Abyss... nameless, forgotten, and unmade?
