Blood For Magic

Orion's life, marred by relentless tragedy, takes a dark turn with his grandfather's final message, unveiling the existence of an Ancient Organization and entrusting him with a foreboding mission. With only a tattered map fragment and the burden of his family's shadowed legacy, Orion plunges into a world where malevolent magic holds it's sway over all and ancient terrors lurk within every corner. In this treacherous landscape where the lines between good and evil blur, even the gods play their hand, their motives as inscrutable as they are terrifying. Where will the sinister map drag him? What malevolent secrets make the gods so untrustworthy? And why was he fated to bear this harrowing burden? Only time will unveil the dread truths. As Orion delves deeper into the nightmare, he faces a destiny steeped in shadows, where survival means defying fate itself. For in a world where gods are either all-powerful or all-good, one thing is certain: they cannot be both.

Coming to an agreement

"So consider it a service to both us and countless others, and get rid of this nuisance," Priel's words echoed in the chamber, marking the end of their silent struggle for dominance.

Despite maintaining a composed exterior, Priel couldn't suppress the elation bubbling within him. It felt as though the goddess of luck herself had intervened, presenting Orion as the perfect solution to his predicament. This wasn't merely about using him; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement—a simple trade, if you will. Priel couldn't help but grin at the thought.

After all, what harm could there be in exchanging favors? In Priel's mind, it was a fair deal—one that would leave both parties satisfied. When Orion accepted the task, as Priel was confident he would, Priel felt a surge of satisfaction. Even if Orion were to fail, he could always blame Adeos for overestimating his new champion's capabilities. What good was his praise if his champion couldn't even kill an old man?
