Transcension

by3
Life is an inherent struggle. The tossing and turning of the present being swept in the currents around them while the past is the bedrock that supports and stabilizes an individual, yet what happens when that past is too far out of reach? As far as the distance between the sky and the ground, an infinite chasm that seems impossible to cross. One can enter a new world, but can they return to their old one? There is one person who has no choice, but to contemplate this. With a past too distant and a body too defected to conquer the currents of the world, he has no choice, but to give it his all regardless. The world is cruel, but to accept its cruelty would be a deeper cruelty to oneself. He can't transcend it all on his own. But maybe he can at least transcend the weakness in his heart. -------------------------------------- Against the Gods Fanfic.

King of Knives

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre. Welcome to the City of Knives. ------ Tags: Dark Fantasy • Criminal Underworld • Political Intrigue • Antihero Protagonist • Slow-Burn Power Climb • Found Family • Betrayal • Knife Fights • Multiple POVs • Corrupt Nobles • Gritty Worldbuilding • Morally Gray MC • Low-Magic Setting • Empire Politics • Witty Banter • War Brewing ------ Why Read This (From 10Verses): This isn’t just Darian’s story.
