The Standalone: A Path of Least Resistance

Vesperyn was twelve when his home was torn apart by someone who should never have existed in his world. And learned a tragic truth of his mother. On that day— His brother was taken by a man who called him son. And "His mother fractured reality to throw him into the unknown." He wakes alone in a forest. As he struggles to survive, Vesperyn begins to notice something is wrong—not with the world, but with the way events unfold around him. Small moments feel heavy. Certain paths feel inevitable. Some dangers arrive long before they should. Power does not come to him as strength, but as awareness. And awareness, he learns, is a burden heavier than fate. In a world ruled by 13 paths and ancient grudges. Vesperyn isn't looking for a throne. Surrounded by truths that are lies, he is only looking for the Path of Least Resistance. …….
