do you know what it's like
to the wake up
feeling empty?
like there isn't a point?
do you know how it feels
to be drowned by your own thoughts
of your worst enemy—
your own self?
are you familiar with the feeling
of the welcoming darkness I'm oh-so aquatinted with
it surrounds me constantly yet I'm still alive
but I'm no longer living
— depression has drowned me in the water
that taught you how to swim

8 210Deus Terra: The Land of the Gods.
In a continent once inhabited by the gods, humanity struggles to thrive against all manner of creatures. They've learned to harness the power of their souls to fight back against those naturally stronger than them. But among them, there are a few who have inherited a fraction of the power of the gods. This is the story of an innocent and hardworking young man whose soul thirsts for power and glory. The quickest path is to become a knight of the kingdom to earn a title of nobility for himself. And that's only the first goal. A story born from a deep desire to write high fantasy filled with everything I love. Swords, knights, monsters, magic, dragons and a harem of the wholesome variety. Expect sexual content of vanilla flavor and explicit violence as expected of people hitting each other with swords and big, dangerous monsters. Cover art by LeMayer on Instagram.
