The Librarian of the Forbidden World: Reborn Beyond the Veil

Ciaran_Onyx
Arin Thale was once the greatest mage in a dying world—a scholar chosen by the mythical Codex Primordial, betrayed and killed during the last stand against the Outer Gods. Then… he woke up. In a world far from the ashes of his own, Arin awakens as Arin Valemore, a boy born into nobility but scorned for being nearly magicless. With no memories of how this world works, no idea where the Codex is, and no knowledge of the mysterious “book” that another reincarnator—Selene—once read, Arin is alone. He is not the protagonist of the story. In fact, in that story... he was never meant to exist. But the Codex Primordial is not gone—it’s shattered, its fragments scattered across this unfamiliar world. Each piece carries a sliver of his former power, memory, and potential. And as the Outer Gods continue their campaign to erase the Codex from existence, Arin’s forgotten soul begins to stir. Let them ignore him. Let them call him worthless. Because he will rise again—one fragment at a time. And this time, when the Outer Gods return… They won’t face a forgotten mage. They’ll face the original.

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
