<p> Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. </p> <p> Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. </p> <p> Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. </p> <p> Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. </p> <p> But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. </p> <p> When a longtime plan's failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. </p> <p> </p> <p> This is a big project I have been working on for a couple of months now. My goal is to write the kind of story that has the readers laugh at my characters' amusing antics, be at the edge of their seats during the exciting parts, all while trying to figure out the mysteries that are going on behind the scenes. </p> <p> If I could weight the tags I'd put 'Mystery' first above all else. 'Comedy' and 'Psychological' at second place, with the former being vastly more prevalent at the start, while taking a backseat later on. And finally 'Adventure' would be last, but still a major part of the story, especially later on. </p> <p> To shamelessly borrow some reputation from two of my favorite Chinese webnovels, I would describe this story's feel as a mixture between 'Lord of the Mysteries' and 'A Will Eternal'. Make of that information what you will, I'm just saying if you enjoyed those stories you'll hopefully like mine too. ^^ </p> <p> </p> <p> The first minor story arc is already completed (Vision chapter, twelve normal chapters, one interlude). Chapters will be uploaded daily as I edit them while writing the next part. From January onward (Next Arc) I'll upload 3-4 chapters per week depending on how things go. </p> <p> Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the vision being noticeably shorter. </p> <p> </p> <p> Have fun reading. </p>
