The Master of the Eternal Tavern
In a world where gods walk among mortals and the supernatural shapes destiny, Elias Varn, a man cursed with a life-draining affliction, runs the Eternal Tavern, a mystical haven connecting all realms. Unimaginably powerful, Elias can crush armies with a snap of his fingers, but every use of his strength shaves time off his dwindling lifespan. A mysterious Vitality System appears in his mind, offering missions, rewards, and the hope of extending his life—but at what cost? With a charismatic grin and a razor-sharp wit, Elias turns his tavern into a stage for intrigue, battles, and alliances, all while unraveling the secrets of his curse, the system, and the world itself. Surrounded by eccentric patrons, vengeful gods, and primordial monsters, Elias must balance his overwhelming power, fragile health, and desire to leave an eternal legacy. This is the tale of a man defying fate, one ale at a time, with a system as his guide.
