Duskborn is a tetralogy
I: Faith.
II: Will.
III: Salvation.
IV: Oblivion.
This is how the world ends. The thirteenth time.
Aelissara wakes in a pool of blood with a list of crimes worthy of execution: King Slaying, Kinslayer, and Blasphemy. The whole realm has cast her out, hunts her like a beast.
They do not know that... every time she closes her eyes, Aelissara sees herself already dead.
Twelve times. Burned to ash, crushed, torn apart. Inside a loop with no way out, Aelissara realizes that the "End of the World" is not a disaster — it is a repair process sanctioned by the Universe itself. When life is only a system error, and no weapon can cut down a law, the only way she survived twelve past lives was to kill herself to reverse time.
In the darkness of those loops, there was always a God of Death watching over her in silence. He is the one who watched helplessly as the one he loved turned to ash through twelve reincarnations, using all his iron will to wait for a faith long lost and a hope not yet given shape. He waits — even if in this reality, she must face the one who wears his own face: a destined lover holding the sword of betrayal.
But this thirteenth life, the game has changed. She has a diary.
In a realm outside of time, Faelisaev — the forgotten thirteen-year-old goddess — is reading blood-soaked pages drifting from the future. Faelisaev has never met her mother. But if her mother had to die twelve times to keep the world from falling apart... then in this life, she swears she will not let her die one more time.
The light has been stolen. The darkness has run out of breath.
It is time for this world to learn to accept the color Grey.
[CONTENT WARNING]:
Duskborn is a nonlinear maze — where each chapter is a memory fragment still bleeding.
This is not a formulaic entertainment story. It is a dense Dark Fantasy experience of psychological depth and cosmic law.
The work contains elements of: Violence / Body Horror / Compulsive Haunting (PTSD).
If you seek gentle salvation, turn back now. Here, there is only survival.
