Description: [edit] [history]

Arthur Bilgart was a successful and vastly wealthy businessman on Earth. However, he was kidnapped and tortured by his wife, Claudia, who was after everything he owned. He was tortured and isolated from the world for no less than a year before miserably dying. But death wasn't the end for he was reincarnated into a parasite in a foreign world.

Volume 1: The Blood Purge (Chp 1🡢29)

Volume 2 : The Mysterious Bottle (Chp 30🡢43)

Volume 3 : The Bloated Murderer (Chp 44🡢65)

Volume 4: Ruination (Pt1): Single-Minded Pursuit (Chp 66🡢86)

Volume 4 : Ruination (Pt2): Feast of Lies and Sea of Spies (Chp86🡢128)

Volume 5 : The Shadow Keep Penitentiary(Pt1): 'Why was the goose sad?'(Chp129🡢?)

If you're interested in the premise, I will give some exposition on what to expect.

First and foremost, the story, especially at the beginning, can have a slow pace to flesh out the world and characters. The plot will follow the parasite's second life in a new world in which Magic exists. Rather than focusing too much on non-stop and nonsensical fights, there will be a lot of focus on Arthur's psychological issues, his motives and beliefs. His views on the new world and opinions on moral relativism, the ruling aristocracy, the study of historical records and so on...

Instead of a direct plot from beginning to end (Such as the generalized 'Defeat the Demon King), this story is more about self-discovery and the unraveling of ancient mysteries and forgotten history. It is about the character development of not only Arthur but other characters and how their actions affect the world.

Arthur isn't inherently noble or unconditionally just, but he also isn't purely driven by lunacy or evil-oriented intentions.

The MC is neither OP nor pitifully weak. This is not about someone reincarnated into a world just to become an undefeated force that simply kills everyone.

There will be chapters dedicated to Lore or the travails of supporting characters.

There are relatively detailed maps that I've created myself, which can be found here:

The maps contain SPOILERS about regions and locations.

There will be a System, one which isn't overly-complex nor too simplistic. In the beginning, at least, it is more of a visual and numerical representation of the MC's growth as he learns more about his Race and what it is capable of.

Without delving into any details, the following are what you will find in this story: Exploring the world; Meeting new people, discovering fascinating cultures, deepening one's understanding of existence's history, delving into Politics.

At some points, the story will be dark and quite disturbing.

Chapters are between 1500 and 3000 words.

One last thing: I'm not a native English-speaker, therefore, my grammar isn't flawless. I try my best to make everything coherent and enjoyable, but I might make a mistake or two along the way. If you notice anything, be sure to let me know and I will fix it.

Apologies in advance and I hope you like the story.
