Katra

Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals.

There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death.

Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims.

But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own.

Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra.

***Current Schedule***

I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh?*Ducks under flying knife*

I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha!

This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’sCradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*)

**What is This Story?**

Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for moreInfo.

Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in.

I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:)

Also, I HATE info dumps!*Steps out of the way of a charging semi*Still not dead!

Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13

Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29

Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ???

A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun.

Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
