Rising Stars:Tragedy #50Mystery #25
Shadow rank ~54–60 in Tragedy

In a world where memory is currency and blood is prophecy,  A boy finds himself in a vast and desolate desert, with no recollection of the events that brought him to this place. 📅 Schedule:Mon / Wed / Fri ✅ Volume 1: COMPLETED (120k+ Words) ✅ Volume 2: COMPLETED (90k+ Words)  ✅ Volume 3: COMPLETED (80k+ Words)  📝 Volume 4: COMPLETED (120k+ Words) 📝 Volume 5: Ongoing 🔮 Volume 6: Writing   What to Expect from Ross!  This story is the main entry in a larger saga: • The Forgotten Lineage (Main Story - Ongoing) • The Lost Mage (Side Story - Finished) • Flinz the Wizard in Vontean (In Production) Eventually, these paths will collide. • From time to time there will be special chapters that have its own song that made by me and freelancers or Suno.  Choose randomly and enjoy! Whoa!! Enjoy! click here! This is a gift ~ !  and for the Storyline!  • Multi-POV Epic Fantasy: Follow four main characters (a Healer, a Prince, a Survivor, and a Pirate Captain) as their separate journeys converge in a war for the world's soul, and more! • Strong Character Progression: This is a core focus. Watch a grieving boy become a powerful commander, a manipulated prince becomes a true king, and a traumatized refugee become a competent, professional mercenary. • A "Found Family" at its Heart: The central heroes are a band of broken, cynical survivors (assassins, spies, outcasts) who must learn to trust each other and forge a new family. If you like the "gruff, deadly commander accidentally becomes a dad" trope, this is for you. • Complex, Intelligent Villains: The antagonists are not mindless monsters. They are grandmaster strategists, political manipulators, and cosmic-level threats with their own internal rivalries and terrifyingly logical plans (my specialties) • Deep, Tragic Lore: The world is haunted by its past. The story begins in the shadow of a great tragedy, and the heroes must grapple with the ghosts and consequences of their parents' failures.  • High-Stakes, Epic Action: Features "god-tier" magical duels, brutal street-level combat, tense psychological warfare, and the slow, desperate purging of a world-ending plague. • Kingdom Building: Witness the fall of a corrupt kingdom and the birth of a new one, as a new, young king and his chaotic court try to rebuild a nation from the ashes. Trust me, you will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it! Ross note: I use AI tools strictly for grammar. The story, characters, and soul of this world are 100% human-made with precision and care XD (and are being traumatized by me personally).
