Synopsis
Sebastian’s life is turned upside down when he is unexpectedly thrust into the dangerous and unpredictable world of the Realm Walkers. As he navigates this new reality, he must face deadly challenges, forge uneasy alliances, and confront secrets that could change everything he knows about himself and the realms around him. With every choice carrying high stakes, Sebastian discovers that surviving this world means more than just strength—it requires courage, wit, and the resilience to overcome the darkest twists of fate. ......... Sebastian pushed himself upright, though it felt as if the air itself had turned to tar around him. His thoughts drifted through a dense, suffocating fog that weighed more than his own limbs. Every breath was an effort. Every movement felt resisted by something unseen—something that clung to him without leaving a single bruise or mark to prove it existed. There was no chain. No wound. No logical reason for the heaviness sinking into his bones. And yet it was there. Relentless. He staggered toward the mirror standing quietly before him—too quietly, as if it had been waiting. A shard of memory flickered at the back of his mind, but every attempt to grasp it made the fog thicken, swallowing the thought before it could form. When he finally faced the glass, he froze. His reflection was… wrong. The face was his, yet the expression wasn’t. A smile threatened at the corners of his mouth—not his smile, but something using it. The eyes blinked half a second too late. And the longer he stared, the more the reflection seemed to grow aware of him, as though it had just woken up. A crawling cold travelled up his spine. “What… are you?” he whispered. His reflection tilted its head first. A smile still played across its lips—thin, deliberate, and wrong. There was no warmth in it. No flicker of anything human. It was a cold curve of the mouth, carved with the kind of precision that suggested practice rather than emotion. The eyes above it didn’t match the expression; they remained distant, unfocused, as though gazing at something beyond him trying but also failing to recall. Then its gaze focused on him It then spoke: “The scavenger of the Sovereign’s lost soul, A legacy bound to us… for the world to behold.”

Dear Traveler,

Congratulations. Somehow, you survived long enough to reach my tomb—and, miracle of miracles, you still have the limbs to open this will. I envy you, truly.

It's time I reveal a truth few ever glimpse: the structure of reality as I've come to know it.

Planets – Dense spheres with cores that matter far more than they should. They're ranked, from the Forgotten to the Superior. Yours? Sadly, Forgotten. I placed this will here knowing few would dare disturb it.

Worlds – Clusters of planets, mostly of similar rank, though some stray higher or lower.

Realms – Larger dimensions containing multiple worlds.

Planes – Abstract, spiritual, or elemental layers. Difficult to reach, teeming with forces beyond comprehension.

Domains – Territories ruled by those strong enough to bend lesser beings.

Spheres – Vast structures encompassing multiple domains and planes.

The Void / Chaos – The outermost layer, the beginning and end of everything.

Exercise caution. Keep your mouth shut. I would not wish to be hunted—or cursed—again, even from beyond the grave. Consider this knowledge a shield for your fragile existence.
