However, when the kingdom of Allano is thrown into chaos and despair, its citizens are driven to madness and the protagonist, an undying being trapped in a place reserved for the broken and wretched, finds a glimmer of hope. Determined to uncover the truth behind the curse plaguing the kingdom, the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption. As the protagonist delves deeper into the mystery, they encounter incredible obstacles and unearth secrets that challenge their beliefs and push the boundaries of their imagination. Through this journey, the protagonist grapples with themes of identity, morality, and fate, and comes face-to-face with their own limitations. The outcome of their journey is uncertain, but one thing is for certain: they will never be the same person again._____________________________________"The Antithetical" is my first (short) novel. It springs from my love of fantasy, philosophy, Lovecraft and From Software. I hope you enjoy it, and if so, please leave constructive feedback. Please remember that, as I said, The Antithetical is/was my first novel.As Brandon Sanderson said, "If you are a new writer, your job is to turn yourself into a person who can write great novels, NOT write a great novel."I'm not "satisfied" by any means, but I will apply what I've learned to my next novel.

Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damienthe child of two high-tiered adventurersto be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. Published here, Scribble Hub and patreon. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed, with no pre-planning.)
