Follow Arc, the reincarnated soul trapped in a sword, and Travis, the humble farm-kid with a troubled upbringing, as they embark on a coming-of-age epic/progressive fantasy adventure, learning about the hard-magic system, how to fight the monsters that invade from the north every spring, fumble their way through noble decorum, and get mistaken for a kingdom devastating Chosen one by the church and state.
New chapters every other Friday/Saturday, usually in the 6k word range.
