He heads west, bound for the Kingdom of Seraphiel, formerly the European continent.
Later, he discovers there's something wrong with his character status screen...
But his talent is still there, so it's no big deal...
(A feel-good power fantasy in a Western fantasy setting. I want to try building a “magic-tech world” that develops organically from a world of magic.
Note: No planes, cannons, or guns, and it's not a steampunk world.)
(Based on Norse mythology, with some of my own ideas, as well as post-apocalyptic and online-game elements, and angels and demons.)
(The story takes place after Ragnarok. The connection won't be apparent at first, but some hints should emerge midway through, with the full picture revealed later.)
So far I feel that the writing is pretty good and worth reading.
