Blight

The major tragedies of this world have happened because of the choices of certain individuals. The hunter who didn't kill the lone pup doomed the world to the monster infestation. The stupid lass who loved a sailor brought the witch blight that consumed half of the world. The shy and silent magician apprentice's solitude gave birth to a silent calamity. And finally, the greed of a girl who didn't want to let go shattered the world, rewinding fate... This is a rewinded timeline, but fractured, incomplete, imperfect... a new age of strife is awakening, and a tale of punishment for a girl who was loved by the world. Being able to regress in time is really worth it if no none can remember you? Not even yourself? Artwork by: Flygombal

Almost three decades of drought transformed the Elven empire from a once mighty and feared power into a shell of its former self. The source of the drought was thought to be a curse- a blight upon their land that turned their soil into dust. Eventually, the Kingdom of Men took advantage of their neighbor's weakened state and invaded the elven lands, ransacking what was left of their villages. The remaining elves were forced into servitude and ordered to take care of the people who stole what was once theirs. Nico Holcomb is among them. What little magic he once had dwindled over time, diminished from being away from his homeland and shackled in chains. His only reprieve from his suffering is when he cares for the princess. She's sweet and affectionate and has taken a special liking to him. Over time, he develops reciprocated feelings for her, and he begins to believe she may help his people when she is queen. But his hopes are shattered when the king catches him in bed with the princess, and she accuses him of assault. The king then exiles him to the land beyond the walls. Nico travels for what feels like days, though it's only been a couple of hours; he sits on a tree stump to rest, only for the stump to start shining and shaking. Light beams travel through the roots of the ground like glowing veins. Figures emerge and he braces for the worst but looks up to see an old man with pointed ears. "Welcome young one to the Revolution. This was our home, and we're going to take back what is rightfully ours."

In a world that was once peaceful, it has now plunged into darkness due to the Curse of the Flower that spreads mercilessly. This curse transforms humans into creatures known as Blight Walkers / Ekibyō no Hokosha—those who walk carrying disease and calamity. They no longer recognize themselves, trapped in the abyss of pain caused by the curse. With every petal that blooms, more souls fall into the abyss, consumed by the desire to destroy anything in their path. However, amid this desolation, there is still hope. Those who have survived the curse are known as Finire. Blessed with strength and resilience, they stand as the last bastion against the lurking threat. Their task is not only to survive but to eradicate the Ekibyō no Hokosha, restore the balance that has been lost, and end the suffering that continues to burn. This is the story of Eira's journey in hunting down Ekibyo no Hokosha, who terrorizes human lives.

In a world where powerful sects hold dominion over both martial and mystical arts, the balance between realms begins to unravel. For centuries, the Celestial Blade Sect has upheld peace and order, its warriors revered as both skilled fighters and guardians of ancient, arcane secrets. However, whispers of a forgotten malediction—a curse once thought vanquished—have resurfaced, threatening to tear the realms asunder. At the heart of this brewing storm is Jian, a lowly and overlooked member of the Celestial Blade Sect. Assigned to menial tasks and viewed as insignificant by his peers, Jian dreams of proving himself as more than just a blade bearer. Unbeknownst to him, his fate is entwined with the very curse that now haunts the sect. As the "Arcane Blight" begins to corrupt the land, he finds himself entangled in forces far beyond his understanding. With rival sects, treacherous alliances, and otherworldly powers converging, Jian must rise above his station, uncover hidden strengths, and confront the looming threat. Along the way, he discovers that even the most insignificant blade can cut the deepest, and sometimes the fate of the world rests in the hands of those least expected to wield it.

Kivas Chariot was struck by the sun, resulting in an unrecoverable corruption within his soul. With no Worlds willing to take him, he became a Disgraced, barred from entering the cycle of reincarnation and doomed to be crippled as he repeated his next beginnings in Ad Infinitum. However, through a fateful encounter with the Deity of Exploration, he got reborn as an Amalgam. A weird looking tadpole-shaped blob with three arms, with one of them holding the Torch of Blight. He couldn't see, hear, touch, nor perceive anything beyond the illumination of his flickering eternal torch. Fortunately for him, the Deity of Exploration decided to grace this torch of his with random selectable upgrades for every discovery milestone that he reached. The catch was, Death would reset all of it to zero. "If I get a nickel every time I spawn somewhere that will result in my death almost immediately, I would have five. Which isn't much, but I'm sick of it reoccurring!" T'was the beginning of an atrocious and painful Era of Roguelike Exploration. ____________ The cover illustration belongs to its respective creator.
