Seeker, Book 1 NPC, Chapter 3
Description
**Discovering a reality overlay can't be good if others are killing to keep it secret!** In the world of Genesis, feudal empires rule the world, and nobles are above the law. On the far western edge of the known world, in the shadow of the Ironcrest Mountains, lies Lapidara, a remote village where life flows as predictably as the seasons. Seventeen-year-old Aiden, known for his solitary treks into the surrounding wilderness, stumbles upon a hidden chamber that harbors more than just ancient secrets. Within, an ancient crystal skeleton wears an alms purse embroidered with a set of strange symbols, untouched by time and decay. This artifact, a relic of a bygone era, is a key to a reality Aiden never imagined. As Aiden delves deeper into the mystery of the purse, he uncovers a magical legacy tied to the stars themselves. The world around him begins to shift, revealing a layer where magic and myth are only a reality. With each secret unveiled, the fabric of his existence intertwines with this new understanding of his world, a world where magic breathes life into the legends of old. However, darkness lurks in the corners of both worlds, seeking the power Aiden has unwittingly unleashed. *"Where ancient secrets and virtual realities collide, a hero's legacy is born."* Embark on a journey with Aiden through the transformed lands of Thornwick and beyond, where every discovery brings him closer to the truth and every choice alters the fate of his world. As the boundary between the mythical and the real blurs, Aiden finds himself in the heart of an epic clash between two soul-crushing choices, where the outcome will determine the future of reality itself.
