On Rising Stars: Psychological #50

Lucien is called the Heretic. He doesn't worship any god, yet somehow he can use magic without one. Nobody knows where he came from or what he actually wants. He just travels around with a strange umbrella, getting involved in things he probably shouldn't. Gods, knights, curses, missing people... And somehow, wherever Lucien goes, something always goes wrong. Progression: Non-god magic system & steady power growth Lead: Mysterious, morally grey / anti-hero protagonist Tone: Dark fantasy, god-slaying, and world intrigue Pacing: Character-driven with multi-POV elements Chapters are posted every Saturday
