Forlorn Lord of Death

“Congratulations Eclipse! You’ve been awarded the unique class **The Forlorn Lord of Death**!” An angelic voice rang out as the golden encrusted words pierced the night sky and illuminated the pale, tears and blood soaked boy.

~~
In a universe where magic, monsters, classes, and a domineering universal system that’s more powerful than the gods themselves exist, a single boy is striving and clawing his way to the top.

The universe itself is divided into multiple worlds stacked on top of one another forming a constellation of a tree, interconnected by dimensional gateways. At each gateway there are multiple challenges, creatures, and bosses with a final guardian at the end of each gateway. Because of this, these gateways between worlds have come to be known as "Trials". As “Climbers” go further up the constellation, the monsters become stronger and the trials harder.

Very few have made it more than halfway up the constellation, with no one having yet reached the summit and final planet at the top of the constellation. Various rumors and theories circulate around about what resides at the top. Some claim it’s the secrets of life itself, others say there is an absolute power to rule all waiting to be claimed.

This is a story of a boy with a dream named Eclipse who wishes to one day become the most powerful climber and unravel the mysteries of the universe.
