Tybalt of Greentear was nothing—the discarded, illegitimate son of a noble; a low-ranked soldier, sent to butcher beastfolk in the desert for a kingdom that despised him. His only dreams: rise above his station, and take revenge on the father who cast him aside. Then he found the Tower of Death. He entered a bitter scout with blood on his hands. He left a necromancer, wielding forbidden powers of pestilence and undeath—gifts worth execution by church or crown. Now Tybalt plots to betray the army, raise a legion, and turn the world’s order upside down… all under the eye of a mysterious seer who knows his moves before he makes them. To succeed, he’ll have to fight old comrades, seduce enemies, master a resentful revenant, and forge alliances among monsters and outcasts—all while clawing his way toward the strength to challenge kingdoms… and gods themselves. What to Expect: - An RPG-like system, complete with leveling, skills, mana, and stats that correlate with character capabilities- Slow-burn, but deep and believable, harem- Morally gray characters- A slowly growing legion of the dead- Chapters ranging from around 1600-2600 words, with the beginning being a little longer to get you into the story.
