Ashborn Primordial (A Progression Fantasy)

The Primordial will bring the End of Realms. Find him! Purge him! Burn him to Ash!

Ekavir is a hardworking lumberjack's son. It isn't his fault crows speak in eldritch voices when he walks through the forest, or that his bloodred eyes leave the village bullies shaking in their shoes. He might be the latest incarnation of the dreaded Primordial, but he never asked for that. He doesn't even know!

When Imperial Knights arrive hunting for the Ender of Realms, Vir loses his idyllic life along with his chance to be anything else. To grow strong enough to survive, he'll have to *become* the Primordial.

There's just one problem: Vir can't do magic. Not even the simplest spells to light a fire or conjure a breeze.

To take back control of his destiny, Vir will have to find a whole new way of magic. He'll have to forge his own path… and he'll have to do it while running, fighting, and clawing for survival.

What to expect:

Two parts progression fantasy, one part epic fantasy, one part western cultivation. There will be a bunch of action and progression, with a side of worldbuilding.

Expect an MC who strives to act rationally, worldbuilding with depth, and long haul character development.

No grimdark content. No murderhobo MC. No edgy or whiney or anti-hero MC. No pacifist MC. No harems.

Game elements: An internally consistent magic system with named spells, ranks, and affinities. Named martial abilities with ranks. A combat power ranking system. No d&d style stats, no blue boxes, no levels.

Tropes: Weak to very strong(I will add the ‘Strong Protagonist’ tag when the time comes), Reincarnation, Precursor Race, Hidden Identity (a bit later), Underdog MC

Boatloads of art! Characters, scenes, maps.

Lastly, this is a planned series with an outline almost as long as the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy(no really—it’s 1,200 pages—took me a year!) There is a strong emphasis on storyline.
