Corebound: Shadows of Power Jade was an ordinary man until the day he found himself ripped from Earth and thrust into a world of ancient magic, dangerous creatures, and ruthless power struggles. With no way back and no allies in sight, Jade must navigate a treacherous landscape where survival depends on mastering the energy of mysterious cores—gems of immense power that can enhance abilities, control elements, and even bend reality itself. As Jade fights to stay alive, he discovers an ancient ruin that holds the key to unlocking the true potential of these cores. But he's not the only one seeking power. A malevolent Drevan mage sees Jade as nothing more than a tool to be used and discarded, and otherworldly beings with their own dark agendas lurk in the shadows, ready to strike. Driven by a fierce desire to return home, Jade embarks on a perilous journey to gather the cores, unravel the secrets of this world, and outmaneuver his enemies. But each new power he gains brings him closer to losing himself to the very darkness he seeks to conquer. In a world where only the strongest and most cunning survive, Jade must forge his own path, mastering the shadows of power that threaten to consume him. Will he find a way back to Earth, or will he be forever bound to the deadly game of survival in this unforgiving land?
