THE DIVINE DESCENT: Slayer of the Myths

THE DIVINE DESCENT: Slayer of the Myths

The mysterious unknown. Chaos spreads throughout the divine realm. Fates of all lives, mortals and transcendents alike are dragged into a great turmoil. Affected by the chaos, the world starts to change. Our MC finds himself in an unknown place filled with hardships. What would he do? Follow Sid in his adventures as his shitty luck takes him to places. Don't expect much from him though, as he cannot be farther from a heroic protagonist who could uncover the mystery of the world. Just think of him as another poor soul dragged down the winding path by strange luck. Right, there are system and game elements in the story, for those who wanted to know, but it's quite late in the game. (Read about 15 chapters before deciding I it's worth you read. spam the comments if you dont like it, no sweat.) A/N: The story uncovers according to mc's knowledge, so prepared to be surprised at any turn. Another thing, this story does not follow, or claim to follow mythology to a T. Hell, I am just a noob at mythology myself. Just think of it as another entertainment that borrows from mythology. If that's not your cup of tea then, please kindly refrain from reading. Finally, let me know in the comments if you find anything dissatisfactory. WARNING: There will be use of strong language (just some expletives) at some parts, expect it to slow down as the mc develops. Though it may take a while, looking at how our mc is. At, any rate just enjoy it as a fun read. Here's the link to my discord: https://discord.com/invite/jD3a96k7pJ
