Riftwalker - [A Psychological LitRPG]

Legend speaks that an insatiable 'Rift' lies beneath the overworld. It was an ever-consuming void, born in ancient eras and home to all malevolent entities that defied human comprehension. And what had seemed just a myth has now made its presence. Enter Kyrios, a bedridden yet mischievous boy plagued by an incurable disease who dreams of walking again. Crossed by his loved ones, his fate led him to the dreaded Rift as a sacrifice for the greater good. It wasn't long before a monstrous plant devoured him, but against all odds, an unexpected transformation occurred. The same disease that had withered him away since birth spread to the plant while bestowing Kyrios an extraordinary rebirth. Now, trapped amidst the nightmare realm, Kyrios yearns to break free from the clutches of the monstrous horde surrounding him. Anyway, here's what you can expect: - Lots of action and exploration! - Progression, weak to strong, and character development. - Diverse and refreshing creatures/encounters. - Some images that a friend made with ai :) There are litRPG elements, but levels and stats are not the determinant factors for most battles. Side note: Just to set your expectations, this novel isn't innately supposed to be edgy despite the title and synopsis, lol. It's not a tale of vengeance or hatred. Instead, it explores the journey of a naive, frisky young boy as he descends a path of emotional turmoil and trauma.
