Sovereign's Silent Path [Cultivation - Progression - Epic Fantasy]

Volume 1 is finished. Volume 2 coming soon... Book One of the Epic Fantasy Series: Sovereign's Silent PathTitle: Sylas of Cindaleer He was exiled as a prince, forgotten by a kingdom, but now, he is bound to a dead queen's will. Sylas of Cindaleer doesn’t wield a sword; he wields a mind, honed by ancient philosophies that compel others to follow his will. Raised in the shadows of a forsaken past, Sylas was meant to disappear. But a letter sealed in crimson wax, arriving from beyond the grave, pulled him into a world of deceit, schemes, and revenge. His mother’s final message is not a farewell; it’s a command for a grand new beginning. As the Holy Kingdom of Halewyn tightens its grip, hidden cults move to manipulate him, and legendary heroes rise to challenge him. Yet Sylas walks neither with tyrants nor rebels. He walks the Silent Path, one forged from recursive imagination. In a world governed by Laws and Marks, where Philosophers cultivate to conquer death and dominate souls, a lone Sovereign must uncover his true purpose... To walk beside him, you must accept his Mark..̶̲̩͉͚̞̭̂́̔̈́.̷̭̭͋͗͗̔̓.̷̹̀̕.̷̪̪̝̣̜͈̻̹̱̅̿͋̏͆͂̈.̷̢̛̖͎̭̲̦̭̪̪̘̬̭̿̋͜.̵̱͑̂́̈́̒̃̀̔̊͝ͅ.̴̨̧̨̜̹̫̹͕̍̔͜.̶̳͓͂̈́̇̕͝͠.̴͙̬̦̪͈͆̇͒͗̈.̷̛͇̘̗̲̓̿̑̉̉̚͘͝.̶̧̩͎̘̹͕͕̘͉̯̱͛̾͆ͅ.̸̡͉͕̥͎̼̩̯̥̜̗̻̥̈̽͗͗̏͠͠.̵̛̗͖͍̼̲̮̉̓͂̀̑̒̽̽͝ͅ.̶̨̠͈̥̗̭̹̜̙̥͉̓̀͛̆̓̄̈́͛̀͛̚͝ͅ.̸̦͔̫͉͉̭̟͖̜̔̓.̵̛͙̹̓̂̍̑͋̋̓̉͊̓͝.̶̠̟̊́̿̾̋̃̓́́͊͂.̸̱͍͓͈̭̜̯͍̭̫͚͈̿.̶̡̡̛̝̹̥̘͈͖̲̼̼̹̓̀̓̀̎̀̇̈́̊͝.̶͍͈̳͌͐̊́.̴̨̡͎͚͓̥͎̀̉̊͒͊̆͛̾͂͂̈́̇͝.̸̬̟͔͖͕̻̲̏̄̈́́.̵̮͖̱̙̮͔̩̝͎̞͉͒͂͗̆̈́́.̷̧̡̡̨̜̝͖̹͈̳͇̼̹̎̏͛͒̑͒̋̈́̏̉̚.̵̖͕͓̖̖̑̈̊͋̎͊̏̏̿͆.̸̮̦̿͛̇̎̒̿́̔.̶͔̭͍̟̩̖̲̜͚͇̹͎͘.̶̘̫̹̪̭͙̪̆̄̓̊̍̐̇̅͐̂͠.̷̡̰̐͋͌̊͗̏̍̚͠͝͠.̵̢̔̏͂̆̃̍͒̌̂̚͝.̴̨̨̡̛̛̣̮̠̞͚͙͔͍͗̿̏͂͊̈́.̷̡͈̼̼̘̈́̔̓.̸̢̡͎̪̖̜̠̣̳̥̠̬͍̉́̋.̸͉͓̙̠̘̋͂̃̓̕̚͘͠ͅ.̶̘͎͙̘̦̹̺͓̝̩̥̱̬̿͆̀̍̿̎͒͊̽̓̕.̸̠͖̟̱͉͓͍͇̰̥̖̑͑͆̌̇̍͜͜.̶̢̡̝̰̰̗̬̖̠̆̏̉̾̏͊̕.̸̢͙̗̠͙̙̈́͐̉̆̓.̶̢̛̲͚̙̝̤̮͓̆̂̑̈́́̈́͋͛͊̃͠͠.̷̧̛̝̗̦͔̦̈́̌̀̆̀.̶̹̱͑̇̾́͋͑̏̆̃̄͂̑͘.̵̳̜̞͎̲̻̻̮͕͗͒͊̍̅̎̀̽̑̑.̴̡̨̛̭͕̗̼̹͙͎̖̈́͒͋̀̆͠.̸̨̢̞̩̳͍̯̪̻͍̣̀̀͛̌͜.̵̧̫͍͍̭̯̟͎͈̠́̔̑̓̑̆̾̋͗̓̑̀͘.̴̡̲̲̩̤͈͍̱͓͕̱̥̏̄.̷̡̲̯̪̰͙͉̣̦͚̼̰̌̈͂͆͊͌͋̉̊̉̈̊͝.̴̳͙̗͇̈͒.̷̻͈͎̥̞̺͚͓̉̓͂͂͋̅͘͜͠͝ͅ.̸̡̨̡̲̼̹̬̺̮̰͉̞̳̋̽̏̋́̓̇̕͝.̷̧̛̬͙̹̤̦̱̼̪̺̤̀̋̃̅͊̀̒̈́̈̕.̴̢̞̠̘̲̜͔̖͔͙̲̬̺̽.̵̬̳̤̤̬͔̰̩̬̹͉̒͝ͅͅ.̶͎͚́͆͆͗̚.̵̧̘̤̥́.̵̠̰̣͉̈̌̈́͆̽͝ͅ.̷̹̦̱̩̗̻͔̏̅̀̒́̕.̵̡̛̞̯̭̻̅̑̆̀͒̌͛͂̃̅̕.̸̡̮̼̺͔͖͈͍̦͇͖̒͊.̴̠̱̱͍͔̗̂̇͛̉̍̾̈́̀̿̀̓͝.̸̡̡̪̭̜̯̞̠̝͈̹̅̄́̀̎̅͝.̴̨͚̤̥͍̘̞̆̉̎͛̄̃̈̊͘͝.̵͈͙̗̘̺͙̥̺̖͋͒̓̚.̸̼͇̥͇͉͕̮͎͔̈́̇.̵̡̨̥̻͍̗̞͚̟̮͕͍͍͂̉̅.̷͖̰̜̥͚͈̟̤̜̇̂̅̿̿̂̿̒͝͝ͅ.̵̡̲̫͕͇̞̰̲̱̹͔̲̥̇̅̓̒̿̈́͋͘͝.̴̬̫̺͚̝̩͖͎̤̝̠̘͊̆́̓͋̏̿͊̎̚ͅ.̶̛̛͔͇̩͈̰͚͉̓̆̈́̑̇̃͋͐̈́̽͠ͅ.̵͎̙̟̼̱̠̝̻̀̊͐̅̑͐̾̐̉̒̒̉͜.̵̘̗͔͙̰̈́͗.̶̧̗̰͓̩͍̖̐̋͗.̶̡̼͙̭̙̙͙̖̏̓͆̌̔̔̈́̊̔̚̕̚.̵̺̠̫̰̈́̈́̽͑͋͗́̎́̚͝.̴̘̲̪̈́̆̅̈̓̎̈́̓̚̕.̴̨̨̜̤̘̪͊.̴̡̗͎̝̞̹͙̼̅̏̐̊͊̔̌́̽́̽̚̕.̸̡̡̛̞͍͉̦̗͍̝͙̭͕̼̀̐̋̅̊̓̑́̍̌̑̕ (Note: This novel is originally published in Royal Road, so if you are reading it anywhere else, please come to Royal Road to read it and support me. Thankyou.)What to expect from this novel: 1) Unconventional cultivation rooted in philosophy.2) Dual protagonists mirrored across two worlds.3) 21+ Laws of World and the abstract Laws of Mind, unlocked layer by layer.(Training arc for Laws of World starts from Volume 2)4) Schemes, masks, and identity plays.5) Characters who feel, enemies that think, and tension that bites.6) An emotionally charged descent into ruin in search of meaning.7) Devoted passion from the author ^^
