Five kingdoms once ruled the world, but one was banished from the very existence of the others out of pure fear. Obscura Halvren is an outcast who possesses no background history of himself. No bloodline, no answers, nothing. He lives his life in the Kingdom of Light, a prideful kingdom whose people see themselves as superior. Obscura is not like the others though. He can’t even perform a basic spell correctly without exhausting himself to the limit. Suddenly, everything changes once a shadowy entity begins forcing him away from the world into a fracturing reality of time loops. Obscura fights to survive this terrifying reality he was given and attempts to uncover his true identity. He must unlock the secrets of this world before time runs out for him. [This is my first time ever writing any type of book so bear with me as I make mistakes. I will progressively get better as I continue to write more and will go back and fix the all the chapters. Don't be afraid to comment/message what I should fix! This is pretty much a rough draft as of right now.]
