The Drifters

The Outcast: The Shadow of The Wall

"As the Supreme Commander of The Wall, my duty is clear: to hold back the threats from the south—mutant monsters, ogres, cyclops, or... hopefully not... the return of the orcs. The kings and lords of Middle Earth do not care. To them, we are just a bunch of 'Outcasts,' exiled criminals and soldiers pushed to the margins. That’s fine. It's better if they stay out of our way. Corrupt politicians rarely care about real security." He looks down at the Outcast barracks below, where the central headquarters commands the entire Wall, separating the south from the main continent. Wisps of smoke rise from the kitchens, carrying the scent of salty, stale soup. The Outcasts atone for their sins or suppress their grief through dangerous missions in exchange for a few gold coins, following the rigorous standards set long ago. Such is life at The Wall. "I, Oldman, am not a religious man. But I interpret the legacy of past eras as a reminder: The world has never truly been at peace. The evil forces of all ages—fragments, orcs, or dragons—will always lurk. Humans, dwarves, elves, whoever they may be, could end up killing each other, driven by cunning deceit. And now, the only barrier holding back the southern threat is The Wall... and us, the Outcasts. Perhaps history will remember us as nameless heroes, or perhaps it will forget us. But as long as I stand here, I will not allow the monsters from the south and other darknesses to spread across the continent again." "I am Oldman... In a world that has cast us out, we stand amidst the darkness. We have no land, no name, only this path. We are the shadows behind this wall. We are the forgotten guardians of the world. We are the Outcasts, and we will endure, or die on our path."

Drifter Omnibus

Fet and Shalam find themselves in desperate situations. Fet is trapped in a prison, with no knowledge of how he got there or how long he will be there. Meanwhile, Shalam is being held captive by insect-like creatures and forced to do their bidding. Desperate to escape, she finds herself in a dangerous situation as she is sent on a mission to map the remaining part of a mysterious land called the Node. As they struggle to survive in their respective predicaments, Fet and Shalam's paths eventually cross, and they must work together to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. With danger lurking at every turn, past reconnecting with the present, and the present changing the future, the stakes are getting higher than ever. Will they be able to make it out of the Node alive? Drifter Omnibus: Shalam is a gripping tale of survival, magic, and the (un)breakable human spirit. --- The story is told from the perspective of Fet, who for some reason is also the author of the book. by sending me a (Neorealist) weekly journal written in a magical format and device, to which I cannot share more details on what and how I can translate it into what Fet calls Earth Tongue (it's just English) for public consumption. Though, I am not sure how long will he keep on sending me his journals, I do not know. For now, I have been translating them so that we can all enjoy the process of finding his lost memory. --- Also, there is no tentative date of release yet. But I am making sure to translate the journal as rapidly as I can. --- Note from the Author: The story is based on true events unless 'says otherwise'. However, please note that any resemblance to actual events, living or dead, on Earth or across the Pan universe, is or are purely coincidental. The author takes no responsibility for any consequences that may arise from reading this story, including but not limited to the desire to become a wizard, join a fellowship, start a quest to destroy a magical ring, or sign a petition reinstating Henry Cavill's back as the Witcher. Note from the Translator: I say otherwise.
