American Folklore

In a richly woven tapestry of diverse mythologies, where ancient gods and fearsome monsters roam, a young boy embarks on a journey that will forever alter the course of his life and the world around him. His appearance, as depicted on the cover of my novel, hints at his enigmatic nature—an unmistakable aura of curiosity and adventurous spirit radiates from him. As he traverses varied landscapes, from the mist-clad mountains of Greek folklore to the lush jungles echoing with the legends of Hindu deities, he unravels the mysteries embedded in each mythology he encounters. However, the most intriguing aspect of this tale is undoubtedly the boy himself—a puzzle waiting to be solved. Who is this boy venturing across realms teeming with mythical creatures and captivating lore? What fuels his insatiable desire to uncover the world's secrets? As he delves deeper into these ancient legends, he seeks not only external discoveries but also the truth about himself—a truth that may remain hidden even from his own understanding. Throughout the narrative, readers will encounter a rich blend of mythology, including but not limited to Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, and Native American tales, as well as many lesser-known legends from cultures around the globe. Yet, as I strive for inclusivity, I am aware that there may still be mythologies and creatures that I may overlook. If there are any mythological elements or cultures you feel should be represented, please share your thoughts, and I will gladly incorporate them into this expanding universe. I invite you to delve into my novel, where every page promises adventure, revelation, and the chance to explore the wonders of both the external world and the innermost secrets of the boy at its heart. Your feedback and suggestions will be invaluable as I refine this journey, so I welcome your thoughts and insights. Thank you for considering this adventure, and I look forward to embarking on it together!

Weak but determined, he must level up his abilities, confront the horrors spilling from the Gates, and uncover the dark force behind them.

The Veilstone once shielded the world from a converging dimension teeming with horrors—creatures of unexplainable terror, shaped by fragmented myths and forgotten folklore, each taking on different interpretations across time. But when the Veilstone shattered thousands of years ago, the barrier collapsed. Perhaps out of desperation—if it was even capable of such a thing—it chose Heroes before its final destruction. Six divine classes emerged, wielding power strong enough to hold back the Void... but only for a time. As the rifts grew stronger and the world descended into chaos, heroes and humans alike fell before the Voidborne. Until they discovered the power of Voidshards—the cores of these eldritch beings. By transferring these shards into themselves, warriors gained monstrous abilities beyond human comprehension, tied to the creature they had slain. But there was a cost. Those without the blessing of Heroic Sigils, unprotected from corruption, slowly lost their minds—warping into the very Voidborne they once fought. And thus, the cycle of slaughter and transformation continued. Elias was not born a hero. He awakened with no past, wandering a dying world in search of memories he couldn’t grasp. But when a fateful encounter with a Voidborne and the fanatical Ashborn Clan drags him into a battle far beyond his understanding, his struggle for survival becomes something far greater. In a war where men turn to monsters, and gods remain silent, Elias must forge his own path—or be consumed by the very darkness that seeks to claim him.
