Forgotten Realms Death Masks

Adrian Woods was a burnt-out accountant barely surviving Tokyo’s relentless work culture when a chance encounter with a mysterious glowing circle dragged him into an unfamiliar world. Now stranded in the kingdom of Lunaris, Adrian discovers he has been summoned as a hero—though he’s hardly the sword-wielding, spell-casting type. Guided by Meric, a mage with cryptic wisdom, and Lyra, a sharp-witted scout, Adrian learns that his unique power lies in a pair of enchanted gloves, the Gloves of Calculation, which allow him to see the hidden patterns in the world around him. But in a land where ancient forces and dark magic weave their influence, Adrian’s analytical skills will be tested far beyond anything he encountered in his previous life. Looming over Lunaris is the Dark Queen, a powerful sorceress whose shades now haunt the land, growing bolder and more numerous by the day. Adrian’s arrival has disrupted the delicate balance of power, drawing the Queen’s forces ever closer, and as he navigates a world of mythical creatures, forgotten magic, and impending war, he must come to terms with his role in a conflict beyond his understanding. In a journey that takes him from shadowed forests to ancient castles, Adrian must rise to the challenge of becoming a hero—or watch as the land of Lunaris falls to darkness. But with allies by his side and a growing strength he never knew he possessed, Adrian may yet find the courage to confront his fears—and the Dark Queen herself.

Elsewhere, there are mystical communities who believe they have uncovered the secret of the universe by embracing the unity of all things.

In a world where ancient spirits live within the shadows of forests and magic echoes in the whispers of the wind, Kaela is called to the Forgotten Realm—a mystical forest that chooses its guardians. The Realm, both beautiful and haunted, shelters lost souls and protects its hidden magic, but it’s beginning to fray at the edges. Strangers speak of whispers in the trees, creatures never seen before, and a deepening darkness that even sunlight cannot reach. Kaela is drawn to the Forgotten Realm by dreams and a magnetic pull she can’t ignore. When she arrives, she realizes her role is more than just an outsider seeking peace; she is meant to protect and learn from the forest. Guided by Nira, the spirit of a former guardian who sacrificed herself to protect the land, Kaela learns to commune with the trees, read the patterns of nature, and tune herself to the forest’s rhythms. But she soon senses the encroaching darkness—a shadowy force that threatens to consume the Realm from within. As Kaela delves deeper, she discovers that the Realm has memories of lost guardians, each tied to the land in both life and spirit. She uncovers hidden places of power within the forest and learns of the sacrifices each guardian has made. Yet, the burden of her role weighs heavily, especially as she uncovers the truth: the Realm’s spirit sustains itself by the lives of its guardians, who become part of the land upon their passing. Just as Kaela is coming to terms with her role, she encounters a young woman, drawn to the forest much like she was once. Kaela realizes that the Realm has chosen its next guardian. She begins to pass on her knowledge, preparing her successor to understand the magic, history, and danger that resides within the forest. Together, they battle the looming darkness, learning that it originates from a breach in the ancient pact that once bound the forest spirits to the Realm. In her final act, Kaela joins the spirits of past guardians, merging with the Forgotten Realm in a ritual that restores balance and peace. The young woman takes her place as the new guardian, feeling Kaela’s presence everywhere—in the leaves, the wind, and the songs of birds. The forest remains timeless, alive with the echoes of every guardian who has walked its paths, their sacrifices woven into the trees, their voices part of its eternal song. The Forgotten Realm, ancient and enduring, now has a new protector, and the echoes of past guardians live on, watching, guiding, and protecting the forest as they always have and always will.
