Myths have existed for as long as humanity has, to describe that which we could not understand, but almost all of these are told from the human (or some other outsider's) point of view. What if we looked at what the gods were doing, and only caught glimpses of what was happening below, in the world?... more>>

Here we have the tale of the gods, not of Earth, but of a new world, and how they find their own purpose, in the Game of the World.

This story is rather lighthearted, mostly me figuring out how to write characters, so there will be little worldbuilding, because, well... The gods will be doing that. ~æ

This isn't a tale depicted from the recent past, this story doesn't head towards a new future. Instead this story looks towards a memory, the recorded events that have already occurred. There may be some old faces, some more memorable than another. You may remember some of these but, understand this...there's nothing like experiencing something for yourself, maybe something wasn't told right. Or perhaps, you'll learn of someone new, someone who's had a hand throughout this play but hasn't yet shown their face.

This could tell you the origin of the gods, the origin of the world or even the beginning of time. But for this story we're going to look at something more simple, something undiluted and yet to be touched by the hands of the divine. A human. The name that would soon spring fear through the ones that reside within the realms, both the mortal and the immortal.

Now look towards the human...the storm shaped by the beast and motivated by the serpent. <<less

Murdered by his cunning wife, a man meets Peyra who saves his soul. The goddess of mischief and lust turns the murdered man her pet, a ghoul called Grym the Faceless. While Grym carries the unquenchable appetite for human flesh, he also carries the frightening power of a dark sorcerer.
Returning to his world which slowly shifts from magic to human ingenuity, Grym knows magic is no longer vital to the empire. Nobles increasingly use cannons and muskets against mages and monsters while the merchants trade their goods with steam ships and trains. Rulers see a future where standing armies and telegraphs replace heroes of myth.
Yet, Grym has a plan to shake the empire... more>> to its core. After discovering the eternal tomb of Valary, a healer hero betrayed by Emperor Nazalath, he releases the woman who seeks vengeance for her betrayal. Together, they start on their separate paths of revenge. While she believes the ghoul's focus centers upon short-term revenge, he has much bigger plans. Grym intends to take down the empire using the ancient sorcery he's learned and the underlying strife inside the empire. He will turn the world into a bloody realm filled with anarchy and chaos. For a ghoul sees no reason to help a humanity filled with a history of hypocrisy, cruelty, and stupidity.

Finally! After hundreds of years of suppression and abuse, humanity produced a genius!

---

From 391 Aetil to 'now', humanity has had to live as the servants of the Gods. They had been wrongfully abused and used as slaves with no rights. Just as they were going to give up and forever live at the bottom of the food chain, hunted by every existence and used as sources of entertainment, a genius with extraordinary talent had been born!

Raymond Valtere, or Ray for short, had been born. And only 5 years after his birth, he was sealed away by some Gods who were afraid of his talent.

Sealed in the Void, where nothing exists, Ray trains and learns. In a place where his mind ages yet his body doesn't, he meets the Void and comes to see it as a sort of Guardian that raised him.

Ray reaches the peak of his talent and, eventually, reaches the peak of humanity. Now wielding the power of the Void, he sets out to free humanity from the shackles of the Gods. Though he might find other goals in the future, not everything is certain!

But... Why is he so strange? And why isn't he perfect, as all heroes should be?

---

"Even the Most Perfect Man will lack something."

But will she remain unwavering in her conviction, even if it means seeing her innocence clash with the harsh realities she is bound to encounter? Or discovering that her world stores ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶ far more treacherous truths she never imagines?

Because magic is not just flowers and fireworks after all...

What to expect in this story:
What to expect in this story:
1. A slow, classic progressive fantasy narrative that focuses not only on the characters but also on the intricacies of magic, spells, and the individuals who practice them.

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

4. MC is "Scottish" (inspired) so expect some of the dialects and the foreign terms as part of the world-building. But along the way, the dialect will be reduced along with MC travelling outside her hometown. The translations for these terms will be provided in a dedicated glossary in the first entry. Feel free to share your feedback regarding any terms that may have been overlooked.

Among them stands Rusalka, Lady of Venus, as well as her husband Alexander and the Lords whom they have gathered.
The Lady and her people were once the guardians of this sea border, and now the price of their failures must be paid with blood and blade.

Yet all of this conflict by itself is only prologue.
The nations of the world stand on a knife edge, each one keeping an eye to check another.
Such a skirmish stirs up the waters of a global conflict.
Olympus and their Dukes seek to strike at Vesta, in Muspelheim's west.
Abel and their Saints make a move against Olympus.
