One Over Infinity

He went to a great school, had zero debt, and his master’s degree was coming in a year. His parents were well off, and they both loved him. By no means should he have considered accepting their offer. To abandon everything? The life that he lived on Earth, the place in which his memories were made and lost, his home where he laughed and wept, to wander the universe as a ghost? How laughable. Most people would refuse immediately, yet he felt strangely hesitent. What was he after exactly? Money and riches? Power? Fame? A perfect life?

A perfect life makes a boring story. The thought echoed within him until he could hear nothing else.

He walked to the side of his dorm to opened the window, and deeply breath in the fresh, vernal air.

He would regret it. He would miss his parents. He would hate himself for ever accepting. 

But Spring was coming, and he wanted something new.

*****

What to expect when you read this book:

This is a progression fantasy novel with a hard magic system.

This is a novel where the protagonist (as well as the readers), starts off knowing absolutely nothing. Information is slowly dripped through context and dialogue, as well as the protagonist’s inner thoughts.

This is a novel where the protagonist is far from perfect. They will not always make the best decisions available, and they will regret it later on. The theories they form will have a chance of being wrong despite them being absolutely confident in their conjecture. They will fail despite trying their best, and where every time they do, they are met with permanent consequences.

The first arc is quite slow as there is so much to explain about this magic system if I were to introduce it naturally. The real plot begins after book 1 ends.  What chapter does it end at? You’ll know when you see it. Book 2 starts off with a bang!
