The Alkeria Chronicle Prologue "Don't Cry—At the End of an Eternal Journey, the Primordial Wish"

Death was not the end. It was merely a prelude to a colder hell.Lucian, a hero who failed to save the one person who mattered, is dragged into a new world by the weight of his own curse.He has no name. He has no memories.All that remains is a charred soul and a singular, desperate obsession: "To Protect."This time, he will not rely on feeble strength or prayers to deaf gods.To rewrite the cruel laws of this reality, he will defy fate itself.Even if it means becoming a monster.And so, his soul falls toward the place that is both beginning and end—the planet Alkeria.
