Eclipse of the Soulbound

When twenty-four-year-old programmer Kael Veyr is unexpectedly pulled into the brutal world of Valtherra, he discovers a reality where magic obeys the strongest will and survival is a daily gamble. Gifted—or cursed—with the mysterious Soulbound System, Kael can absorb the abilities, memories, and even lifeforce of defeated foes, but each soul he consumes leaves a mark on his own humanity. As monstrous creatures, power-hungry warlords, and shadowy cults rise around him, Kael must navigate a world where allies are scarce and betrayal is inevitable. The deeper he delves, the more he learns that to win, he may have to lose himself entirely.
