There's a lot more, too tired to write the summary...

Deep in the Void a universe called the Dream Universe made up of planets called the Realms. A place where all those who cultivate and who strive to ascend into Cosmic God status is the goal. Here the Dream Universe is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. The World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different. This is an eradication of King's who have abused power and caused strife among the realms erupting into a civil war. The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom. But both don’t realize how different this Test will be. Author Note: First volume I throw you into the story. I wrote it where it builds and the world around it builds as it goes along. You learn the back story of the Slayer in volume 2. I wanted to stand out and immerse you into the world I’m creating.

I found that there were many things I wished they explored or genres that had more entries in them. So instead of waiting for them to be made, I decided to do it myself and free my trapped creativity. I hope you enjoy it. This is currently being written in the free time I have beside a job with a tricky schedule. I am trying to keep to a schedule of doing 4 - 5 chapters a week at minimum but will do more if i can. To make up for it I will try making the chapters between 1200 - 1400 words on average, to give you a little more to read, again sometimes even more. I hope one day I will be able to work on this more and deliver more chapters and future novels. Warnings for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed. You have been warned.
