Thomas dies under the Paris Métro—Subway-kun, as the internet would say—and wakes in Lutetia Parisiorum, a city of bells, bones, and living myths. The river Sequana offers terms: take the power, keep the ledger, pay the cost. With a fused core of shadow (his Confluence), Thomas binds fallen foes as Umbrae, fights with stealth and precision, and braves Catacomb penalties when quests go wrong. In this city, every choice is priced—Credit for clean saves, Debt for collateral—and the ledger quietly changes his odds. Family comes first: Christian, Patricia, and big brother Thibault. And a sharp, skeptical girl named Michelle might, eventually, matter too. Progression fantasy with status panes [SEQ], Parisian myth, capture mechanics, and a rule-bending trump card. No harem. Just a cold mind learning where mercy beats math.

> He died for a kingdom that never loved him. Now he’s back to decide whether it deserves to exist at all. Thirteen Crowns once ruled creation—relics of forgotten gods, each granting unimaginable power at a terrible cost. Twelve were sealed by divine decree. The Thirteenth was buried with a prince who never mattered… until the kingdom’s bells broke their silence. Erevan Veyra was executed for treason and erased from every chronicle. Now resurrected by the Crown of Nihil, he returns as a paradox: half-dead, half-god, fully done with destiny. But vengeance is never clean. Old allies call him abomination, priests whisper his name in fear, and the Queen who condemned him prays he never remembers the truth. The Thirteenth Crown whispers in his mind, urging him to consume, to erase, to end everything. And Erevan—witty, broken, beautiful in his damnation—can’t decide whether to save the kingdom that killed him… or finish the gods’ work by deleting it entirely. A dark, lyrical fantasy laced with wit, guilt, and resurrection — Thirteen Bells Before God is where revenge becomes redemption, and forgiveness demands blood. --- Character Profile: Prince Erevan of Veyra Full Name: Erevan Veyra Title: The Thirteenth Prince / The Forsaken Son / The Bearer of Nihil Age (at death): 24 Apparent Age (after resurrection): 24, but with faint cracks of age around the eyes — time doesn’t touch him normally anymore. Gender: Male Affiliation: None (formerly the Royal House of Veyra) Status: Officially executed for treason; secretly resurrected by the Thirteenth Crown. --- Physical Description Erevan has sharp, aristocratic features made uncanny by death’s echo — pale skin with faint silver undertones, black hair that glints violet under moonlight, and eyes like fractured mirrors that shimmer when the Crown whispers. His voice carries a quiet mockery of life, smooth but heavy, as if the air itself resists leaving his lungs. --- Personality Erevan is a paradox: sardonic yet melancholic, vengeful yet oddly compassionate. His humor is razor-dry — the kind that cuts both ways. He’s the kind of man who can joke at his own funeral but weep at a child’s prayer. Key Traits: Dark wit masking grief. Fierce empathy for the powerless. Disdain for hypocrisy, especially the “holy.” Unpredictable moral compass — sometimes hero, sometimes judge. --- Abilities (Crown of Nihil) Null Veil: Can erase magic, light, or sound within a radius; total silence becomes his shield. Memory Leech: By touching someone, he can consume memories, storing them as ghostly echoes. Existence Unravel: At full resonance, Erevan can erase matter or souls from reality — though each use erases a piece of himself in return. Crown’s Whisper: The Crown of Nihil can “speak,” tempting him to consume and forget. He resists — for now. --- Weakness Every act of erasure deletes part of who he was — his laughter, his memories, even his name. If he keeps using the Crown unchecked, the world will survive, but Erevan won’t. --- Backstory Erevan was the Thirteenth son — ignored by destiny, loved by none, until he uncovered the Crown buried beneath the palace chapel. When his brothers discovered his secret, they framed him for regicide. He was executed at dawn. And the Crown — out of pity, or malice — brought him back. Now he walks again, half-ghost, half-god, to decide if the kingdom deserves saving… or deletion. --- Core Theme > “To kill a monster, one must first name it. But what happens when the monster has your name?”
