On a day like any other, a mysterious light suddenly enveloped the world and changed it forever. The old world perished and a new one was soon to be born. Follow along Jim Hawk's journey about discovering this new world and its nightmarish creatures that threaten his survival while he somehow tries to find his place in this dangerous environment. My second book, "The Shrouding: A Survivor's Tale" to this series is ongoing, and I recommend skipping this one and just start there. A lot of my magic system wasn't refined yet, as this was just a project to learn. If you want to still read this book, take the magic with a grain of salt and just focus on the story instead. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. I hope you enjoy my little story of suffering and survival.
