- 500 years to finish a quest or die - A simple quest really. Train a champion to level 100. Simple, but not easy! For a sentient sword that cannot influence its surroundings in any way, it may be impossible. While time slowly whittles away, with many potential champions being dead, a young man arrives that gives it finally hope again. Will the sword at last have a chance to influence the outcome or will it be damned to watch another one die from the sidelines? The young man, on the other hand, has his own problems. What happens, when someone dear to him dies, because of his own actions? Be part of a journey through pain and hope, trying to fulfill a simple, but impossible quest! What to expect: - 2 chapters per week (monday / friday) for as long as I have a healthy backlog - a main character that will lose someone dear - a sentient sword that cannot interact with the world - action-filled prologue followed by a slow progressing journey through pain and trauma - a colorful cast of characters
