Requiem of the Perished One [Cultivation, Epic Progression Fantasy]

As the prophecy proclaims, 1000 years of desolation must pass before the Perished One is born in a great empire and journeys to salvage humanity at the cost of his own life.

In a world where dragons soar over urban cities, where magical cards can summon ancient creatures, and where orthodox churches rule, lives Caelum; a young man aspiring to become a powerful Seer, who finds himself twisted in this age-old prophecy.

It is said that the Perished One will perform miracles, bring the dead back to life, establish a great kingdom and unite lost souls with whom he will rise against the Gods before his prophesied end.

However, unbeknownst to the prophecy, Caelum is born in a great empire...

...to rewrite destiny.

What to expect:

- A slow burn story that focuses on character development and consistency.

- A long story. I spent over a year planning this series out from start to finish. Each volume will be longer as the story progresses.

- Gods, churches, and mysticism. Be ready for a lot of mystic symbolism.

- Meaningful progression: The MC makes mistakes and has to learn/study the magic system before mastery.

- A different kind of card-based magic system that isn’t explained all at once.

- Detailed and complex lore/world building that expands gradually as you read through the story.

- A lot of mysteries to uncover.

- A meaningful cast. Side characters and antagonists matter. Everyone has their own story that will intertwine with the greater tale. For example, character motivations that will result in compelling dynamics.
