The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

As It Clasps

Meilyr slowly calmed down amidst Alwina's embrace, stifling back the corrupted dregs of his mind.

So this is the capability of a Soul Sorcerer? He glanced up, feeling her bloodied cheek. For a moment, she had steered all my emotions—the good and the bad—towards her. My violent outburst, now given a target, had allowed me to vent and ease the Vile Ichor's strain on my wits.

A hint of shame made his stomach cramp. She saved me from madness.

"My apologies," he meekly said, slipping from her hold. "And thank you."

Such powers are at their peak when used against an individual on the edge of collapse. She could've easily seized control of my thoughts and made me her rampaging puppet. Instead, she helped me.

"This is no longer a favor but a debt, and it shall be paid in full. Be sure of it."
