Description
When fire rains from the sky and ancient myths come alive, Maethius, his brother Rhaiven, and their courageous friend Thea find their quiet village engulfed in chaos. As monstrous Kobali emerge from the earth and whispers of an awakening Beast spread, the trio is thrust into a perilous journey alongside the enigmatic Sidhe—beings of legend whose power may be the only hope against the rising darkness.
With Thea’s resilience, Rhaiven’s strength, and Maethius’s unyielding determination, they must navigate a world where alliances are fragile, and every shadow hides danger. As the bonds between them are tested, they uncover secrets of their past and confront a terrifying force threatening to consume everything.
Will their courage and unity be enough to turn the tide, or will humanity’s legacy crumble beneath the Beast’s wrath?
Author's note: This is not LitRPG, it is just a traditional fantasy adventure.
This is my first novel, and has been floating around for probably 30 years - mostly gathering dust, with progress coming in periodic binges. My goal here is just to get stories out there until I reach the proverbial million words it takes to become a good writer. This story starts at word zero. Most authors take multiple books to "make it" - one especially well-known fantasy author famously writing 12 before before selling one - so I am going to write multiple books and just try to continually improve. I hope to find a community of other authors at my level to experience each others' stories, trade feedback, and help each other improve as writers - so please reach out!

- Bryn NorelRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Very relatable characters and a strong initial hook!
A great transition between chapters made me an eager page-turner.
I also found the pace to be very good. The author doesn't do any info dumping, and shares just enough for relatable situational context.
Also, an excellent job is done of introducing the antagonist without revealing too much too soon. The villain has struck, but goes almost entirely undescribed, creating a strong sense of mystery and leaving the reader to their imagination.
I'm looking forward to reading where things go next!
I'm not sure if the world setting or local geography are important to future chapters or the work as a whole. If they are it would be valuable to the reader to provide a map or two so we can follow along on any epic journey that may be forthcoming.
There is an opportunity to simplify and clarify some wording, but I'm sure the author will tidy that up. Personally, I have found Grammerly to be a very valuable tool in helping improve my writing on these two fronts.
An excellent start for your first work! Keep going! I need to know how it all turns out for the brothers and Thea!
