Eclipse of the System Slayer
Marcus Chen, once a genius hacker, wakes up in another man’s broken body (Kael Vorne), a scarred warrior dumped into the nightmare realm known as the Crimson Wastes of Shatterveil.
Here, survival isn’t luck. It’s law.
The Aether Codex, a sentient system, brands him with a curse: fight, adapt, or be erased. Every kill feeds his strength, but also poisons him through the Curse Gauge. At 100%, his body rots, his mind fractures, and he falls into Doomfall (a fate worse than death).
Monsters that hunt in storms. Warlocks who bleed worlds dry. A prison-dimension, Shatterveil, that shifts and schemes like it’s alive. And beneath it all...the Codex whispers: corruption is power.
To survive, Kael must gamble with his own humanity, forge fragile alliances with killers and strangers, and outwit enemies like the sadistic Blood Coven and their master. But every choice drags him closer to becoming the very horror he fights.
