Hello again! Didn't think you'd see me so soon huh? Well this update is to tell you guys that I changed my blurb for my new story! (with help from an author friend)

  ...

  In a world where only the gods are immortal, Elias is the exception.

  Immortality—coveted by all who have dared to dream. Wars have been waged, worlds have burned, and entire cultures eradicated for a chance to attain it. Elias never wanted it. He’s had it from the moment he awakened.

  For years, it didn't affect his life. He learned to sculpt from his father and enchanting from his mother. He lived as any mortal would. Then, everything fell apart. His family, friends, and his entire world—wiped out in an instant of random violence. But Elias saw the truth.

  This was no accident.

  Now, Elias must confront the darker side of immortality. For there are much worse things than death.

  ...

  I didn't want it to focus too much on the revenge plot since that'll only be a small part of the story.

  AAAAANNNNDD I'm here to recruit some beta readers! (Just filled the last slot)

  Since I want my books to be better, I figured this was a necessity so here I am.

  Anyone interested can just dm me or comment down below and I'll send you an invite to my discord. I was thinking I'd get around 4 people to start since I already have 1.

  I have around 12k written rn but 10k of that will be spread around the whole of book 1 since I retconned it hahaha. Anyway, here's an excerpt of chapter one for those who want to know a bit more.

  ‘It’s cold…’

  It was the first thing that he noticed—aside from the notifications, of course. But the cold here wasn’t anything he’d ever felt before. It wasn’t like the winter chill back home. Nor was it the cold from one of his friend’s freezing potions. No, this was something else entirely.

  ‘Why is it so—AHHHHHHHHHHH’

  In reflex, he tried to open his mouth and scream out loud to match his thoughts. But no sound came out. He flailed wildly, trying, and trying, and trying, to grab ahold of something—anything, but there was nothing here.

  Then he noticed it—or rather, the absence of it. There was no air here. And worse? There was no gravity.

  Elias persistently struggled against the unbearable emptiness, his limbs thrashed about in all directions, but no matter how hard he fought, it was useless.

  The cold sank into his very bones, freezing his newly formed body, reaching deeper and freezing his thoughts along with it.

  His healing made things worse. Forcing him feel the destruction and reconstruction of his cells—prolonging his suffering under the unforgiving laws of the void.

  Inevitably, he ceased his futile struggles and curled himself up into a ball, trying his best to manage the pain.

  He didn’t know how long it lasted exactly. All he could think about was the pain—the pain of every cell in his body caught in a constant cycle of freezing to death and forceful healing. The repeated damage to his brain from the lack of oxygen, not to mention the constant suffocation. It was torture.

  At some point, he’d even tried to open his eyes, but when he did, he found that they didn’t work. He could feel them continually swelling and popping, then healing, over and over again. It was unending.

  The pain was excruciating, to say the least, and soul-shattering, to say the most.

  ‘…No, it’s more than that… wait… I can think?!’

  Unbeknownst to him, the pain had somehow… lessened. It wasn’t gone, no; it was still there, just dulled.

  |Ding! You have adapted!|

  |Ding! Temporary buff [Stellar Endurance I] gained!|

  ‘Ah! That’s why…’

  He didn’t really know how to feel about it. On one hand, he was glad that he was now able to think. On the other, he wished that the skill would have just gotten rid of the pain completely.

  ‘Whatever.’ He thought.

  And now, with the space to actually think, he endeavored to figure out what happened. To find out how he ended up in the void of space, of all places.

  |Ding! You have activated your Innate Skill [True Immortal’s Records (I-55)]

  Memories flashed rapidly in his mind. From the first moment that he’d awakened to the moment just before he ‘died’.

  ‘No. NO! NO!!!’

  He attempted to scream again, to rage against what he’d seen in his mind, but frustration and helplessness were the only thing that formed.

  ‘WHY?! Why am I alive when everyone is… is FUCKING DEAD?!!!’ He asked, and yet, the only thing he heard was the rapid beating of his heart.

  ...

  A bit dark huh? But waking up in the void of space will do that to you hahaha. Sooo yeah. Let me know if you're interested!

  ALL SLOTS FILLED (for now)

  I'll probably be coming back to recruit more before I release so if you're interested, shoot me a dm and I'll make you a priority for when I need you
