Description
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected.
A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one.
~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~

This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time.
If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”.
My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!

- Mira AlmaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story has a great introduction to what seems like a much bigger story. As of this review, there are only about 13 chapters, but I'm certain more is yet to come.
The writing style is very good, apart from a few mispellings. It has vibrant words that I sometimes forget that they exist. The author's writing style is similar to Sanderson in some aspects, particularly with the world building.
As for the characters, I do appreciate when a story makes you see from all viewpoints. You read a character's thoughts and feelings about what is happening around themselves. It illustrates the sides of each coin so to speak. The main character himself is not much of a talker, hence the inner thoughts. But he is very observant, which is something that could benefit him in the future.
I felt in the end of the twelve chapters that there is much more yet to be explored and learned about our main character and of this world. Overall, I would recommend it, especially as an introduction to Rhyder's works.
