The Ascending Angel - Soul Trials
Reno Schneeberg, a once-promising doctor, is a broken man haunted by the death of his closest friend, who was like a brother to him. Engulfed in grief, his life spirals into dangerous addictions, pushing him to the brink of despair. Just when all seems lost, an unexpected opportunity arises: an invitation to join a remote research team in the Antarctic, tasked with exploring mysterious ruins discovered beneath its icy surface.
This mission rekindles a long-lost passion that had burned within Reno since childhood—an insatiable curiosity about ancient mysteries. Eager for a fresh start, he ventures into the unforgiving ice, where he not only uncovers secrets hidden for millennia but also forms unexpected bonds that challenge his long-standing isolation.
However, the Antarctic holds more than just ancient relics; it harbors a dark and terrifying secret, thousands of years old and so mystical it defies all rational thinking. This discovery pushes Reno into an even deeper despair, leading him to confront the cold grip of death and beyond.
But is this really his end? In a twist of fate, Reno is reincarnated, endowed with a seemingly supernatural trait that could either elevate him to a celestial hierarchy or lead to the destruction of his very soul.
(The main story is set in a time period comparable to the Renaissance on Earth, filled with supernatural phenomena inspired by Celtic, Roman, and medieval folklore. The story focuses on Reno as he tries to navigate a completely new environment and survive constant threats while trying to grow stronger and grapple with traumatizing events.)
