Tale Drifter: Unveiling Truths

by A. Mathew

Knowledge.
Something he had come to love—a beacon of hope, a guiding light.
Power.
Something he had been forced to chase—a burden he never wished to bear.
Truth.
A force that consumes, easy to seek but merciless in its embrace.
When Claude stumbles upon a vestige of forgotten divinity, he becomes entwined with a reality far beyond his understanding. To uncover the truth, he must walk the path set before him, drifting between foreign worlds and treading the thin line between enlightenment and madness.
But alas, in this cruel world, knowledge is power. And power… begets sacrifice.
What will this journey cost him? His hope? Innocence? Sanity? Or, perhaps even more.

What to A naive, methodical protagonist who slowly transforms into a more cunning and ruthless individual as he’s forced to confront the unknown.

A hard magic system rooted in knowledge, experimentation, and theoretical science—where understanding can reshape reality.

Monsters and entities from a parallel realm known as the Subspace—where natural laws twist and mortal perception breaks down.

A slow-burn mystery that explores the collapse of established truths and the cost of uncovering what lies beyond.

There will be world-hopping in future volumes, with each new realm offering unique cultures, characters and horrors.Themes on the burden of discovery, and the thin boundary between genius and madness.
