《Ignis》Chapter 0 Part 4: Trials
Advertisement
You fix your gaze and ears on the Truthseeker star and its soaring soprano solo. The others quietly blink out, one by one, until only Truthseeker remains. Now you have a destination, and must go to it.
You amble down the road towards the shuttle pads, passing by the temples and shrines to dogmatic belief that mark the way, ignoring their chants and the fury of the monks who man them. How long it takes you cannot say, for time has no meaning in this place of symbols and decisions.
You are almost at the shuttle pads when you come to another fork in the road. Each way leads to a shuttle, and each shuttle leads onward toward your star. But upon pondering them, you know that each represents a different hurdle for you to overcome. That you will do so is not in doubt, but it is up to you to choose which you face and which you avoid.
The right-hand path and shuttle are marked by the shadows of a High Vendetta. You sense your Nemesis along this path, a confrontation, a fight without a winner or slain foe. Taking it would give you a strong sense of honor and desire to have vengeance upon those who wrong or slight you.
The left hand way and shuttle are dark and brooding, the omens of a Dark Voyage. You sense knowledge and truths that would push the borders of your mind, perhaps even beyond what Man was meant to know. Taking it would grant you that knowledge, in all its glory and horror.

The Rise of the Winter Wolf
What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat? The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy. A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions. Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants. And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize. You don’t know? Well, it’s actually pretty simple. You survive. Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System. Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive? Except for the first 4 chapters, Book 1 has been moved to Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Except for the first 4 chapters, Book 2 has been moved to Amazon Kindle Unlimited. If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the book. There is only one main protagonist, but the story does have more than one perspective that it is told from. It's mostly first person from the main protagonist and third person perspective for the livestreams. The beginning of the story has also been massively rewritten since most of the reviews as of 1/23/2022. The release schedule right now is dependent on my college classes and coursework, but I always try to keep it to at least one chapter every other day, if not one chapter every day. I do not write sexual content or harem stuff. I am also not very interested in writing romance, so if you think you might see some romance, then you are probably wrong unless it's only a slight hint at romance or a slow romance very far into the story. Lastly, know that I don't like long-winding antagonists that get on everyone's nerves and last throughout the entire story. And I do like plot twists, so if you are predicting something that you think is going to happen later on that you dislike, (particularly around the middle to end of book two) then it likely won't happen.
