The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock Fantasy Sci-fi Action Wuxia Supernatural Martial Arts Psychological
Mirage Winter. Second Clause, current act.
A Relic Hunter's life is harsh — and often short — in the shattered lands of the Frontier. But when Whitelight reemerges, a legendary blade capable of separating anything the user wills it to cut, a newly formed unit organized of Hunter’s both young and old (and sediment based, in a particular case) vow to stop it from falling into cruel hands. Standing against them is the Frontier itself: the unbridled wrath of global federations, fellow Hunters, and those who lurk in the shadows of giants.
As the world races to unravel a history desperately concealed, a semi-sapient rock soon realizes that some things are better off dead and buried — especially when those secrets carry an insidious corruption with no cure.
Iteration: Mirror-glass Stars in Iron Oceans. First Clause.
A soul wakes up as a rock, clinging to fragmented memories and knowledge of another era. What fate awaits such a creature?
No, this isn't satire. Yes, I am dumb enough to try to take this seriously.
