TL;DR pitch:  Progression fantasy with a goblin mc who wants to learn magic and make friends.   Non overpowered mc. A big world that will start small before expanding.  Light horror elements. No harem. ~<>~<>~ Varro is running.  Both from his family’s past and towards his desired future.  To get there he needs magic.  But even in the empire, where access to the god towers, to the gifting of magic, is a civic right, his family name haunts him. Varro only has one option.  The water tower, a place braved only by the desperate and the foolhardy.  Varro hopes he isn’t foolhardy, but one has to be desperate to brave the realm of a mad god. ~<>~<>~  This is a story I’ll be working on over January while I’m taking a break on Aggravated Defense.  The plan is for this to be a short story/novella length for the first volume with more at an undetermined future date. No set release schedule other than I’m trying to get it done by the end of the month.  Thanks for reading!
