A Nation betrayed and its people slaughtered. A Realm enthralled by the power of tyrannical gods. A Hero violently summoned through time and space. When the Elysean Empire fell, the once resplendent Realms, havens of peace and enlightenment, fell to the might of the Nine Gods. This celestial upheaval gave rise to the Grand Ascendancy, a formidable and relentless army of godsworn zealots. For the last five millennia, they have exerted their unyielding dogma over the Prime Material, casting a long shadow of dominion and unquestioned obedience across a populace ignorant of their oppression. In a daring, final gambit, the last heroes of the fallen Empire sacrificed their lives to invoke an ancient and forbidden ritual to call forth a hero from across time, space, and dimensions. Their hopes lay in a legend—the revival of Elysea's legacy by a being of unparalleled power: a Nephilim, summoned for the first time in millennia. Enter Alex Crosswood, an unassuming Englishman wrenched from a life of comfortable normalcy and imbued with the awe-inspiring might of a Nephilim, known in legend as a walking Calamity. He is an enigma empowered by the omnipresent System, and his potential power is limitless enough to make even the gods wary. Confronted by legions of the undead, zealots consumed by fanaticism, and forces that defy the very laws of nature, Alex is forced to evolve or face extinction. His path is more than mere survival; it's a quest for strength, progression, and the essence of heroism. In a world merciless to the weak, where destiny is a luxury few can afford, every step Alex takes is a trial by fire. Plunging into the heart of darkness, Alex's true quest unfolds: to seize the Mantle and rekindle the extinguished flame of Elysea. If he fails, then not only will his chances at a new life end, but all remaining hope of liberation will follow him into death. What to Expect: + An expansive LitRPG Cultivation and Progression System + Spellblade protagonist with dark powers and canny dialogue + Dynamic Characters and believable relationships + Massive stakes, an immense world, and villains that are both empathetic and detestable + Vampires, Dragons, and Necromancy! This is a full rewrite and restructure of Reclaimer: Nephilim and is intended to correct many, many errors the original story suffered with. Consistency is key, and there is currently an on-going project to catalogue and correct every inconsistency. Additionally, it is my own form of 'redemption' for failing to live up to that wonderful story's potential. This is the redux. New Chapters will be released every 8 hours until the Novel is caught up to the original. I will update when and where I feel like it after the rewrite has been published and the novel length here matches the original. There are no advanced chapters on Patreon.
