Curse

In a realm of elemental magic, sacred martial arts, and soul-bound systems, Kael has always been an outcast—no lineage, no strength, no future. But when he discovers a forgotten pendant buried beneath his childhood home, everything changes. The artifact awakens a system forged in ancient blood magic, unlocking not only hidden abilities, but a buried legacy tied to his missing parents and a war long erased from history. As Kael trains under unlikely allies—an exiled swordswoman and a cryptic mage—he begins to unravel the truth behind the Lost Sigil: a seal that binds the monstrous Wyrmbound beneath the earth… and a curse written into Kael’s very bones. Now hunted by factions who fear what he might become, Kael must walk through visions of a shattered past, wield new powers that defy understanding, and face the rising threat of the Rift—a wound in reality that dreams of waking. Will he rise as a healer, a warrior, or a vessel of the end? Legacy of the Lost Sigil is a thrilling blend of system fantasy, soul-deep magic, and ancestral secrets—for fans of hidden bloodlines, sentient artifacts, and high-stakes transformation.

When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.
