Zealot

Torn from immortality and cast into a fragile mortal shell, a once-feared warlord awakens in a decaying city ruled by crime syndicates and zealots. Though weak, he is not powerless—for he remembers the arcane Paths of Inscription and the art of Engraving refinement. A mysterious whisper calls to him, tempting him with the promise of restoration. But this time, he will not merely reclaim his former might—he will transcend it. From the shadows, through blood and schemes, he will carve his name into the very fabric of reality. ‎ ‎The cycle turns once more. The tyrant shall rise again.

He was summoned to this world to save it. He fought for it, to save his sister. Shawn was an emerging engineer before a portal pulled him and his cousin from Earth. He was told by the person who summoned him that they would save the world. Except, his summoner just used the last of her divinity to get him here, and they're outmatched against her insidious, power-hungry brother. He commands an army of zealots determined to make the world whole, or shatter what’s left of the hollow planet to pieces. But Shawn has a mission of his own, to find his sister, kidnapped to this strange planet of gods, magic and monsters. He makes a deal to help his depowered summoner, in exchange for helping launch a rescue mission, and imbues a dangerous power into himself. Now armed with the powers of fire, ice, and force, plus his engineering knowledge, he'll equip his friends with cutting-edge weapons and equipment inspired by Earth technology to give them the edge they need, and jump-start a magitech revolution. Shawn and his allies will delve deep into this nested realm of monsters, mysteries, and secrets, toward the core world in their efforts to confront a tyrant deity… Take flight into the depths of Remaria! What to expect: * A fantasy adventure into a fractured world, with detailed worldbuilding and complex characters. The main POV is Shawn for 80-90% of the story. * Progression elements are more than numbers--allies will bond, powers will grow, and tech will advance. * Violence and danger are lurking elements in Remaria, as are mysteries and secrets buried within the depths of the world. * Rating: PG-13. There's violence, the heroes have old wounds in their past, and some language. Expect some sensual content of a non-explicit kind down the line. * This story is a somewhat slow burn. The characters will keep progressing, as will the dangers they face.
