Synopsis
In an alternate Earth where mythology and fantasy were reality but now simply things of the past, divinities of various pantheons waged war with monsters in the event known as the Ragnarok War. Both sides fought each other to near extinction while one group ascended: Humanity.
A thousand years later, humans and Demi-humans live their lives in peace as they ushered the world into technological era.
Even though the deities and monsters have long since perished, their powers still linger in the world. When a human is born, they may acquire a divine or cryptid "essence" of a late being that bestows powers to the human. These people are known as "Vessels" and they consists 2/3 of the entire population while the remaining are called "Husks".
Icarus Vermillion is born a minor noble in the gallant country of Vallia. His brash mother is known to be one of the strongest Vessels in the country and he is expected to follow her footsteps. However, he hasn't awakened his essence and fears that he may be a Husk. Along with the support of his friends, Violetta, the princess of Vallia, and Claude, a talented noble boy, he tries to find a way to get to the top and possibly get his essence using his wit.

Hi, Checkerface here. I'm the author of Essence World and just giving it the undeserved 5 star review to communicate with you guys :). I wanted to make a story rich with world-building and mix up different mythologies and legends from all over the world. The main character is a dude that I've long thought about and it took two years for him to actually be here. He is very different from many cliche protagonists but it may not be obvious from the start. Please dont feel too overwhelmed by the info in my novel. All the places mentioned are simple parallels to our Earth. Vallia, for example, is nothing but USA and Canada combined. The world map in Essence World looks exactly the same as the regular map but i plan to change the geography and the story to fit my world building. Also, if you can guess it, its going to be multicultural af. Some myth stories will be changed to fit this alternate world’s backstory. So please dont be salty if I get anything wrong Cuz chances are that I did it on purpose. Keep in mind these are also alternate mythologies so im at lIberty to switch things. However, I will do my best to retain the character of mythological characters especially their powers to make sure they keep tHeir charm as myths not Original Characters. I post a chapter or two everyday but I apologize if I miss posting some days. We hustlin out here smh. If you have any questions feel free to ask on the chapter. Im working hard on an Original Cover for the book and hopefully itll look bomb and attract lots of readers. Lez go and get this bread!!!!
