The Chosen Squire

Story Synopsis:

Damian has always wanted a simple life-one where he could grow old in the same quiet village, surrounded by the people he loves. But when his best friend is chosen by the divine Game and given [The Chosen One], destined to save the world from an unknown evil, that future slips out of reach. Faced with a choice between safety and loyalty, Damian follows him. What begins as a heroic journey quickly unravels into something far darker, and Damian is forced to confront a world far more dangerous and far less forgiving than he ever imagined. As everything he thought was certain begins to fall apart, survival may mean losing everything.

Readers can expect:

- This story is a character focused dark drama that explores how a person deals with loss, grief, and the inevitability of unfortunate circumstances. The story balances comedy, warmth, and character growth with the cold reality of the darkness in the world, but let me know how you think it lands in the reviews!

- A light LitRPG setting with classes and skills, but no stats or numbers. A world that lives and breathes with the system that it was created inside.

- Hey fair warning, this story will be long. I've got 200k words written so far and I am ah... not done. Just FYI. It doesn't meander but there is a lot to explore.

- Posting on Monday/Wednesday/Friday (unless I feel like doing extra), no less than 2,500 words per chapter.

- This story absolutely has regular violence, swearing, and involves minors in dangerous and sometimes fatal scenarios. I've put the appropriate tags on, but please read with caution if these things bother you. Stay safe <3
