Currently, this novel is unavailable. As a "beginner" author, I’ve spent the past four months improving my skills, and looking back, I find what I’ve written before to be, well... not great. Over the next month or so, I’ll be editing and reworking this book to make it better. Completed: 8 / 116 chapters.

However, everything changed when the "Sword of Salvation", the core bond between the heavens and the earth, was stolen. Over a millennium later, the name "Sword of Salvation" resurfaced. Every century, one chosen individual carried the sword on their back or waist. They traveled from one land to another to find the missing pieces of the sword and complete it. However, for thousands of years, no one succeeded in restoring the "Sword of Salvation" to its original state – all of them failed to restore the world. ...Until one day, the sword fell into the hands of Mariel Allvar. Would Mariel be able to restore the "Sword of Salvation" and heal the world? Or would he meet the same fate as the previous bearers of the "Sword of Salvation"? Follow the story of Mariel Allvar in Sword of Salvation.

In the kingdom of Verathen, books are not just repositories of knowledge—they are prisons for powerful spirits, elemental forces, and ancient beings. The Order of Inkscribes, a secretive group of magical scribes, serves as the guardians of these books, using enchanted ink and binding rituals to keep the contained entities from wreaking havoc. Each scribe undergoes a grueling trial to prove their worth: trapping a dangerous spirit into a magical tome without succumbing to its temptations. Failure often means death—or worse. Isara, a quiet but determined apprentice, has spent years training under Master Corvel, a grizzled and cynical Inkwarden who believes her empathy makes her unfit for the Order. Isara is skilled at the technical aspects of scribing but struggles to suppress her curiosity and compassion, qualities that are considered dangerous when dealing with manipulative spirits. Isara’s final trial arrives: she is tasked with binding Maroth, a cunning and ancient spirit of decay, who has escaped its previous prison. Maroth has been wreaking havoc in the southern provinces, reducing fertile lands to barren wastelands with its touch. Isara is given a single enchanted tome, an inkstone filled with blood-infused ink, and a warning: do not listen to the spirit’s words, no matter what it offers.

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

Alright, Daven. You're alive. Barely. You woke up half-drowned in the ocean, washed up on some bizarre island with no idea how you got here or what’s going on. But hey, at least you’re still breathing. This has to be some survival game, right? Any second now, someone’s going to pop out of the jungle, cameras in tow, and yell, “Surprise!” Or... maybe not. So, here’s the plan: Step one—don’t die. Step two—find food. Step three—figure out why Aris thinks she’s the leader and why Alec’s face looks like he’s scheming something. Step four—survive whatever that terrifying growl was from the jungle. Step five—try not to freak out every time someone acts like they know more than you. I’ve survived finals, gym class, and Aunt Linda’s cooking. I can handle this. Unless, of course, the squirrels on this island are secretly masterminds. Or worse, if Alec’s the type who’d let me starve just for a laugh. This island doesn’t know what it’s messing with. Let’s show it who’s in charge.
