Cataclysm

Eighteen‑year‑old Henry Greenbelt enters the SilentDemon Forest expecting a dull harvest shift, not the end of his world. When his entire party is wiped out by a sudden goblin onslaught, Henry survives only by forging a desperate pact with a shady demon that now whispers from the depths of his soul. Dragged back from the brink of death and haunted by the massacre he can’t escape, he’s thrust into a realm of knights, magic, and political tension he never trained for. Whether by luck or hidden design, Henry is offered a chance to prove himself in his hometown of Oakenhand. But the power inside him grows hungrier by the day, the kingdom’s shadows stretch longer, and the line between salvation and corruption begins to dissolve. To rise as a knight, Henry must confront not only the monsters clawing at the kingdom’s borders—but the one he carries within.
