**While participating in the Writathon I will be posting an additional chapter for every 10 followers or favourites! If you enjoy reading please follow and favourite!** Driftspire dives into a high-stakes world where survival depends on wit, grit, and the power to adapt. Set among towering, floating cities above treacherous seas, it’s a story laced with dark undertones, slice-of-life moments, sly humor amidst struggle, and intense action scenes. Driven by character growth and deep world-building, this is a world where power isn’t just about strength; it’s about choices—and the cost that comes with them. Darius Locke thought his life was complicated enough before. Raised on the edge of society in a world forever scarred by a failed attempt at salvation, he’s suddenly granted powers in the wake of a Breacher attack—nightmarish creatures from other dimensions. But having powers is nothing like the heroic tales. This isn’t a world of simple victories; it’s a world where powers blur the line between hero and pawn. Now, Darius has to make the hardest choice of all: side with the Guardians and let them dictate his fate, or go rogue and find his own way in a society where survival is never guaranteed. Driftspire delivers on the personal stakes of power and shows Darius’s journey as he grapples with new abilities, harsh realities, and hard-won growth. This is a slow-burn adventure, crafted with rich character arcs, world-building that goes as deep as the seas, and a progression that feels earned every step of the way.  If you choose to join me on this journey, thank you. This story promises wonder and dread in equal measure. I’ve spent a long time mapping out its arcs, exploring this universe’s secrets, and I’m thrilled to bring you along as Darius’s world keeps growing, layered with mystery, dark ambition, and hard-won victories. Note: Expect mature themes and intense scenes. While Driftspires won’t follow ultra traditional LitRPG "systems", Darius’s progression is deeply earned, with each ability unlocked feeling like impactful "level ups" without relying on numbers alone. Authors Note: Chapters will be released 2-3 times per week on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday presuming I am not grievously injured in some extraordinary incident. Thank you for reading! I plan to release on an accelerated schedule up until chapter 20 or so.  ~CBD
