Jason Kelley was preparing to spend the rest of his life with his fiancé before he met his untimely demise. After dying, he mysteriously finds himself on an island in a ritual gone wrong. All alone, except for his ghost familiar who lost her memories, he starts to explore the island but he is not as alone as it first appears. This island is part of a larger world, a paradise garden planet of plenty called Hortis. Despite its many wonders, the endless war between the elves and humans is growing hotter, with deaths mounting on both sides. Will he be the one to bring peace or will the fires of war consume the garden? I originally built this to be a five part series spanning five worlds. Each world will have different rules, pantheon, system, and powers to be explored. Hortis (World 1): Join Jason in the first world of Hortis. Status: In progress. Arc 1 is finished with plans for three additional arcs.
