The Man in the Lake

We wanted to soar to immortality, yet stayed behind in the mortal world. We refused to settle for the ordinary, but in the end, achieved nothing.

To ascend, we must trample thousands beneath our feet, surpass the mortal, and defy the heavens. We are all rebels against the way of life. Everyone, draw your swords and follow me to immortality.

This book rejects the usual tropes: the good-for-nothing protagonist, mindless power fantasy, slow pacing, and saintly heroine. You have all read countless stories. Let me open up a new world for you.
