He felt weak, useless and drunk. Its muscles didn't responded to him.

A few seconds later and he was back into the void.
They say that death is the brother of sleep, never before in his life, he felt those two things so close and inseparable. He passed a small death, leaving the material world for a few seconds.
When he woke up he saw a man in police clothing near its bed.

The investigator looked up from the clipboard that he was reading <

Pxan following days were of a rare monotony, without Sully keeping him company and guards constantly watching anyone who came near its bed, he didn't have anyone to talk to. He had to do only a few hours of exercises before returning to his room, it's near-empty room, there was a desk, a mirror, a pot with a flower brought by colleagues back at the department and nothing more.No strange leather book with a questionable translation.
He knew why that pot had arrived now and not before. For the first time, he seriously thought about what his life would look like after the hospital.
He had run from the battlefield, he was a deserter and this didn’t put him under good light, maybe the assassination attempt actually improved his condition. Now he was a poor injured policeman hunted by crazy cultist seeking revenge.
State books became boring very quickly. You read a few books and you have read them all in those days. Before Carlaria the press had more freedom. Now if you wanted to publish a book you needed to be a citizien, have a fully clean record, pass several tests and the manuscript needed to follow certain very precise criterias to even having a chance to be published with the mark of the council.

There were older and more interesting books, those with the sigil of the librarians, but those were harder to find. And even if such a text ended in its lap he would need a reason to hold such a text, and more often than not the only acceptable reason was: >
He remembered when a boy was caught reading one of those texts, it had a strange name, The Enricon? Encricion? Enchiridion? It talked about men judgments about things. The boy wasn’t sent to jail because of the mercy of the judge. What a great man. It’s family had to pay a heavy fine and were put under watch for years to come, the boy had to pass long hours of interrogatory before being sent home. It was one of its first interrogatories as a policeman actually.
...
There was another sigil, that of the inquisition. All books talking about Esoteric, religion or occultism fell into this category.
During one of its investigation, he was granted the right to study two of those texts and some passages still popped up in his mind. "The sage convince people by putting himself lower than them. So renouncing his self he is following the way" or something like it. Horrible books to forgot.
"What should I do with all this free time?" he wondered.

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

The Crowns of Dalmarck
We are the Pure Gods. They are the lords of their people. You are the leader of a House of Gods. I am a king of Dalmarck. I have come from earth, through the Abyss and I have lived in the First Realm, in my realm and on the plane of Unrec. I have won wars with other gods and as brief they were, they took thousands of years. Time has become meaningless to me and the only proof of it are the deaths of my servants. I have created lives, magic and gods. I have seen civilisations die and Houses collapse. I once used to want to return through the way back to earth. Pure foolishness, as foolish as a sane Dark God would be. I have wronged many. Once I gave our planet magic and they brought me hate. Another time I save one and had to kill another. I nearly destroyed a whole people in my rage once. I want to stop this, but every time my little lights are there. They seem so satisfied that I cannot help but think I have done well. Every time they mention my House, they bless its gods. My House has always been there for them, even against the others. When I then think of them without us, i can only think of death and ruin. That will never happen, not with me here.
