A Dominion of the Cursed
Synopsis
This is a story about a twenty-seven-year-old man who got dragged into another world. In this theocracy, black hair is not just a trait; it is a mark of an unblessed soul, a sin against the goddess Veyrn. The rational choice was clear: he was not Caelus, and he owed this world nothing. But bound by a sudden debt, he swore to become the boy anyway.
Now he must convince a goddess, a clergy, and an entire religious hierarchy that he is a boy he has never met, living a life he knows nothing about, under laws that do not hesitate to take lives for minor sins. But is everything as it seems? Why does Caelus's life match his own so well? And what other secrets was the boy hiding before the man took over?

Identity and Survival: A man’s psychological journey to adopt a boy’s identity for survival, constantly tested by the challenges of the world.
The Horror of the Divine: Magic and faith, despite their beauty, are depicted as oppressive and violent forces in this world.
