Description

The gods fell, sundering the world and the Divine System. In place of the gods spawned dungeons and their Orbs, which spew forth an endless tide of monsters.

Reyleigh, a half-elven resident of the city of Unbern a thousand years after The Fall, aspires to join The Watch, an organisation that protects and polices the people of the city. However, the citizens hate elves for their savagery, warlike nature and strange appearance, forcing her to hide her elvish features. Her powerful mentor and hero of Unbern, Alistair, tries to guide her, but his aloof and often brash demeanour isn’t always as helpful as Reyleigh might have wished.

Reyleigh struggles to fit in and simultaneously graduate as a Watchman. Soon, things take a turn for the worse when she is called upon to scout a newfound dungeon as her final exam. Even though Alistair accompanies her and her team, events quickly spiral out of her control.

What to expect?

This story is a classic litRPG progression fantasy with a protagonist who is driven to greater and greater power. It features lots of classes, stats, spells, skills and abilities in a large world plagued by an endless tide of monsters where the sentient races aren’t the ultimate predators.

The story is mostly from the perspective of Reyleigh, with a few supporting viewpoints peppered in.

There isn’t really a schedule, but I’ll try to publish a chapter or two every week. Chapters are usually minimum 2.5k words.

I have aKo-Fi pageif you'd like to support my writing. I might fix my Patreon at some point if this thing takes off.

    I'm really enjoying this fic so far.
    The characters are interesting and distinct. I'm eager to see how Reyleigh deals with the situation she finds herself in and how everyone around her reacts.
    The mysteries surrounding the state of the world also sound intriguing. There are a lot of little glimpses into what society is like and I wonder how much of an impact our protagonist will evntually make on the world.
    Can't wait to see whats next.

    Love it! Love the characters, the writing style, the premise, and the relative unpredictability of what’s gonna happen next. Everything is well thought out, the characters have some depth, and it’s easy love the loveable ones and despise the despicable ones. 10/10! I know it’s too early yet for it to be picked up by a publisher, but when it is? I’ll buy it at once!
