Grim & Pip: Bound by Soul & Magic

Not for cat haters 👀 For a decade, Grim's only family was a cat named Pip. Losing her didn't just break his heart. It killed him. But death is not the end. Miraculously reborn into Veridia, a world of magic, monsters, and gods, Grim is given a second chance. Through a divine miracle, he finds Pip again. Alive, whole, and Soulbound to him. However, this new life is not a peaceful paradise. Thrust into the body of a twelve-year-old boy with a mysterious System, Grim discovers immense magical power. From wielding the elements to crushing gravity itself, his potential is limitless. But this power is a dangerous gift, violently tied to the grief and rage that broke him in his past life. From the squalor of the slums to the glistening halls of the Arcane Sanctum, Grim must learn to control his inner demons before they consume him and the one thing he swore to protect. This is not a story about a hero seeking glory. It is the story of a desperate journey to protect the only soul that ever mattered. What to expect: Emotional Bonding: A boy and his cat against the world. OP Protagonist: Gravity Magic, Elemental Magic and Rage-fueled power spikes. System Progression: Skill & Spell evolutions (Inferior to Legendary) and Spell Creation. (Note: This is a story-driven LitRPG, not a spreadsheet heavy one) Dark Fantasy: Slavery, execution and trauma recovery. Cute Cat Moments: Pip is a character, not a tool! Note on the AI-Assisted Tag: English is not my native language. While the story, characters, and soul of this book are 100% human-written, I use AI tools to help with grammar, vocabulary, and polishing the prose to ensure a smooth reading experience for you.
