The One Who Parried Death

The shadows burden:the one who bears all

In The Shadows' Burden: The one Who Bears All, the story follows Umbra, an enigmatic and immensely powerful god known for his boundless love and unshakable will. As the strongest among the gods, Umbra stands apart, choosing not to wield his power for harm, which earns him the deep love and loyalty of the people. This adoration, combined with the unwavering support of the Shadows—his devoted followers—fuels the envy and resentment of other gods who feel threatened by his unbreakable will. Unable to tarnish Umbra's character directly, these jealous gods conspire to alter time itself, manipulating both past and future events to rewrite the truth of who Umbra truly is. They influence the very narration of his story, casting doubt on what is real and what is fabricated. As part of their scheme, they force Umbra into a relentless cycle of reincarnation, subjecting him to endless forms of suffering before each rebirth. Each life brings its own torment, compelling him to bear the weight of existence in all its forms. As we travel through Umbra's lives with him, we will encounter an array of overpowered characters, each with their own unique abilities and motivations. The veil of deception slowly lifts, revealing hidden truths and a complex past shaped by betrayal, love, and resilience. Ultimately, The Shadows' Burden becomes a powerful exploration of faith, truth, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery amid a universe determined to hide it.

I Am The One Who Digs

In a world ruled by ancient magic, swords, and noble bloodlines, Bones is a digger—one of the many faceless workers condemned to toil in the depths. Day after day, he mines in darkness, extracting materials to feed the noble house’s hunger for wealth and war. He’s told that his work sustains the empire, but all Bones sees is the bottomless pit of need from those above. But when the earth beneath him begins to shift, strange things emerge from the stone—relics of a forgotten age, unearthly tremors, and whispers from the shadows. As Bones digs deeper, he unravels a secret older than the empire itself. What he and his fellow laborers have been unearthing is far more than just ore—it’s a power long buried, one that could reshape the world. And the empire knows nothing of it. Caught between forces beyond his understanding, Bones must confront a choice: remain a tool in the hands of those who control him or wield the power he’s uncovered for himself. But as the line between right and wrong blurs, Bones begins to lose himself in the magic he’s unearthed. His desire to escape his fate transforms into an insatiable hunger for control, and the deeper he digs, the darker his soul becomes. In this epic tale, Bones will discover that true power lies not only in what is buried beneath the earth, but also in the choices one makes when no one is watching. The man who was born to dig may become either a hero who defies the empire—or a villain who ushers in its downfall. The question is: how far will he go before he loses himself? (Still writing casually, maybe 1 chapter a week, 2 if I'm free). (I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad on username: SirV)
