the shadows grow deeper on the planet of Whorrl even as a dark, and ancient ritual takes place within the depths of the Abyssal Mouth – the chasm of fortune and calamity.

the story follows Quintin, a Grandmaster Martial Artist from Earth, as unforeseen elements conspire from the depths of space against him.

*System has personality, but only lasts for a few chapters.

*strong MC, but by no means does he go through enemies without injury or at least learning something.

*note: just needed an outlet, we'll see what it becomes. each post is a part of a chapter, and are short because that's all I'm comfortable writing most days.

*note 2: okay, since some people seem to have an issue with my "no effort", "no capitalization at the beginning of a sentence" thing; this story contains the egregious, not conscious at all , decision to leave the start of a sentence mostly uncapitalized throughout. (only when it's a name, place, or the like is there ever capitalization)

I totally acknowledge if that's not something you want in your reading enjoyment, though, thus this note.
