This story follows Auron, a man who has been plagued with vivid nightmares his entire life. While running away from a beating, a splitting headache causes him to fall to his knees. Once again his nightmares bleed into reality. The next "episode" he has brings him from the scene of his nightmare to a posionous swamp. To make matters worse his memories from Earth are fading, and these nightmares that plagued his childhood, filled with darkness and a red coocoon, are back and worse than ever. As he clings to the only memories he has left, he is forced to fight through a world of brutal bloodthirsty monsters, dungeons, and a complex magic system governed by an ancient agreement.

First time writing any sort of story. Everything is still a work in progress. As I improve on my writing I will go back and edit parts. Early chapters are subject to change as I grow my ability.

I am going to try my best to write this world and improve as I go. My goal is to make my dream come to life through the medium of text. This is why I wanted to post it here. Feel free to comment, and bring constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy it!

More info (Spoiler warning): only read if you are picky, read a lot, and want to waste no time with a story you may not want read.

This book is classified as a litrpg. This means it contains stat tables and other game elements. (Which you may gloss over if you would like) It is written in a fantasy world, in the style of a progression fantasy. The main character grows in power as the story plays out. My characters are written to my best ability, but you may find them immature. The MC has to adjust to fighting, and killing which he struggles with for a while. His partner is a magical salamander who is a friend and mentor. The world-building, monsters, and descriptions are also low tier. (I am working hard to change that!)

If you are okay reading something by someone who is just getting started then welcome! I am doing my best, and incrementally improving as I go.
