Anastasia's Keystone

A living system brought Theo back to life. It spoke to him. It empowered him. It helped him.

Then it tried to kill him.

A century ago, the Glimmers devoured huge swaths of the continent, containing worlds of what was, could have been, or still may be. People flocked to them in droves, diving into their depths to seek the strength, fortune, and fame they offer. But Theo wants none of it; he knows he's no prodigy. He dives solely to follow his father’s trail, wastes years challenging the same Glimmer. Betrayed hours before stepping towards that goal, it's somewhat cathartic...all he truly regrets is his failure.

The world hears his despair. Anastasia's Keystone activates <<Resurrection,>> and from then on, it lives within him. Reads his thoughts. Promises aid, but works towards the opposite, poisoning him with enough lies that he can’t trust anything it says. But he needs to compromise with it, and soon.

Because the world is soon to fragment. Skies will shatter. Continents will split. And if Theo hopes to find his father in the midst of it all, he’ll need to accomplish what the Keystones were created for millennia ago:

Deification.

What to expect:
- A somewhat slow start. The first book has a small cast of characters (~10, 3 recurring). The second book expands on the scope significantly. 

What NOT to expect:

- The common RPG-like System with str, cha, etc. MC has a System, but it’s conceptually more of an aid to the actual power system in the world, which is somewhat similar to cultivation. This is gradually explained in great depth, but will not be totally clear for a bit.
