[Excerpt from Lorter's Portrait of a Funeral Escort] " I've ran along the Yuld trail for nigh 30 years, spent most of my life traveling to and from the rot pile, back in those days not even the elite could afford proper coffin sealing, maybe for the lord himself but 6th son or something, forget about it." " It's pretty simple going most of the time, you got yer corpse oil and yer steel, good enough for the few dead old beasts and the occasional ghoul, real nice going, move during the day, keep the fire lit once it's dark, make sure the rookie doesn't doze off with his head in a monster's jaws, real easy stuff." "Now when you're far from the city and Blessed Ways, when the dark arrives with the fire dead, cold as a grave and a load of unblinking glowing eyes glaring at you with your dead parents calling you deeper into the forest, that's when the accidents happen." The world reels from the constant downpour of disaster after disaster, an ordinary man mired in hardship encounters something he never should have. Will he use this opportunity to escape his fate or will he live in regret forever after? What to expect: - A Broken World - Weak to Strong MC - Character Development Throughout - Lots of Intrigue
