Listering: The Empty Man [Slow Burn, Dark Fantasy]

"Listering" is a saga that explores a vast universe of magic, power, and history. Its prophecies—echoes of a war long past—continue to resonate through the ages and through memories; shaping disputes, decisions, and the destinies of its characters. Listering: The Empty Man [Volume 1]"The birth of the beginning of the Listering story, in a world marked by curses, survival, and the search for meaning." The first story follows Empty, a being who does not communicate, does not know he is human, and lives in a post-apocalyptic world called the Infernal Zone. By defeating curses, he sees the memories of those who were once human, searching for some meaning to his own existence. Everything changes when he finds two humans — a suspicious girl and a fearful boy — wandering through that dark place. What seems like a world in ruins ultimately reveals itself to be a web of prophecies, struggles, magic, a hypocritical kingdom, and a word whose true meaning no one knows — all of it told by a mysterious voice that seems to know everything, yet nothing at all. -- What to Expect: -- ☀ Slow Burn: It's a slow-burn story, building towards a saga I have in mind. The chapters are long and each has a different pace, depending on the character featured. ◯ A protagonist like no other: Empty is not a conventional protagonist; he doesn't speak, he doesn't level up, he doesn't explain himself – he just acts. My aim is to show what happens when a protagonist is truly incomprehensible – and what it costs when someone finally understands him. ♟ Complex and realistic characters: The characters are flawed, their decisions aren't perfect. Every character I write has a beginning, middle, and end, to create the best possible consistency and realism.✐ POV "???": The narrator of the story – who has been writing the book 'The Empty Man' from the very first page – speaks in first person and occasionally steps into the narrative through parentheses. Reason: he is one of the characters in the book, and his true identity will only be revealed at the end of the story. ✃ Construction: Everything is slow: characters, world, rules – everything. To remain as faithful as possible to the narrator, to Lumen, and to the future of the saga. Explanations take time - but they arrive. ☾ Style: Emotional, focusing on characters and the consequences of their actions. Every action, every dialogue, every look is a consequence. Which are revealed over time.
