Kaelen Voss had a vision of 847 years. Saw himself loving Lyra for centuries. Saw dragons bowing before him. Saw peace finally won after countless battles. Then he woke up and realized: none of that happened yet. It was just... possible future. --- Now he's at the beginning of everything. On the day universes began collapsing into each other. On the day dungeons emerged from nowhere and ancient creatures awakened. On the day something called the Void began consuming reality. The day of the Calamity. And Kaelen, who in the vision had lived 1,247 lives, is just beginning the first. --- But having seen the future changed everything. He knows where he'll find Lyra 600 lives from now. Knows how to forge the legendary weapon. Knows which choices lead to victory. The problem? Knowing isn't the same as being able. In that vision, he won. But barely. Almost lost three times. Depended on allies. On luck. On terrible sacrifices. Wasn't strong enough. --- So Kaelen makes a choice. Won't just repeat what he saw. Will improve. Accelerate. Become stronger than that future ever showed. Even if it means walking paths the vision never predicted. --- But there's a price. Each new power gained demands something. Sanity. Memories. Humanity. And the stronger he becomes, the further he drifts from who he was. The question that haunts him: when he finally reaches Lyra, after hundreds of lives and thousands of deaths... Will he still be the same person she saw in the vision? Or will he have become something else entirely? --- And there's something more. Sometimes, between one death and another, strange memories surface. Memories that aren't part of the 847-year vision. Much older memories. Of an empty throne. Of a forgotten empire. Of someone waiting. As if there was something before the vision he still doesn't remember. --- CHRONICA INFINITUM: BOOK 2 THE WANDERER'S PATH He saw where he needs to go. Now he needs to figure out how to survive the journey. One life at a time.
