Ezor Piercing

In the year 2025, a curious linguist named Liam Routh discovers an ancient, untitled book hidden deep within the archives of a massive private library. Bound in leather and sealed with a forgotten symbol—a sun pierced by three arrows—the book claims to hold the true story of Kael of No-Name, a boy erased from his powerful family line over four thousand years ago. As Liam begins to read, the air shifts. The ink glows. And suddenly, he’s not just reading the story—he’s living it. Transported to a time of ruthless warlords, forgotten gods, and wild desert lands, Liam follows the audacious journey of Kael: a castaway prince turned rebel dreamer who escapes his tyrannical bloodline to forge a kingdom of laughter, love, and freedom in a land untouched by empire. With a band of misfits by his side—including a drunk who thinks he’s royalty, a seductive thief, and a spear-wielding queen—Kael dares to challenge fate, conquer chaos, and rewrite history. But kingdoms built on ideals are often the first to be tested by war.

I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

Cassius was not born. He returned. Once, he was a cultivator of fearsome talent—an apex of martial divinity, raised in an era of Qi and forged through endless war. His name echoed through dying fields, his sword a blur too fast for time to follow. And yet, even gods fall. Even legends break. Cassius died—his final breath spent atop a mountain of corpses, his soul torn from flesh with no heaven or hell to claim him. And then, something brought him back. He awoke inside rot. Trapped in a corpse, the size of an ant, barely breathing. His mind remained whole. His memories, fractured. His power—reduced to ash. What he remembered most wasn't his glory, but the way his throat had been pierced. A battlefield. A light. Then nothing. Until now. Now, he lives in a world ruled by mana, not Qi. His body is foreign. The rules are alien. But his mind is untouched—sharper than ever, starved for meaning. And though he doesn't know why he was reborn, or who orchestrated it, one thing is certain: Something went wrong. He should not exist in this place. This world was not built to hold him. And when he finds out what truly happened— When he remembers what he chose to forget— The world will beg for death.

[Every aspiration that springs to mind is a thread of shadow. We think of wealth, power, or love, but we rarely stop to ask ourselves what threads bind us to our own essence. Only when we pierce the surface of our whims do we discover that the deepest greed does not lie in possessing more, but in filling a void that even the most tangible things cannot satisfy.] Will the day of reckoning be here? An apocalypse? The end of humanity? Those questions gripped the minds of all on Earth when chaos erupted: cities crumbled, screams of terror echoed, and bizarre creatures emerged from strange rifts.
