Rise of the Sword God Successors(A Death Loop Across Space-Time)

(Originally Released by me on Royal Road with the name ZAKarpel.)

My name is Darren and my life is suffering.

As I stared at the dead body of the woman I loved more than anything in the world-

For the five-hundredth time in a row.

On this battlefield where nothing changed.

I knew this.

But I would continue to struggle against it.

For the five hundredth time, I would try again.

I grabbed the bastardized equivalent of a long Bowie knife on the ground.

Then I shoved it through my skull.

I didn't hesitate this time.

I always did, but at this point.

Pain was a friend that reminded me I could try again.

The tapestry of fate is severed.

The mind and will forged of steel begins to transform into an unknown material.

Unbreakably solid.

Fathomlessly immovable.

The impossible strength of mind is beginning to solidify.

Another push and the gears of change would start to turn again.

This story is extremely fast paced and there is hidden foreshadowing in every chapter.

This is a world where hope goes to die.

Or it was until someone decided that his imprisonment was enough, and he needed a successor.

However, he is not the hero of this story.

A series of tortuous events follow that forge a trio of childhood friends into desperation.

A successor is born.

The cauldron bubbles.

The loop starts Anew.

But what is their mentor hiding?

Things seem to be shades of grey, but some people are just blackened in pitch to their very soul.

How can one defeat a calamity that has eaten and repeatedly returns to eat the skills and abilities of multiple worlds?

Do the ends justify the means?

Follow Darren as his complicated relationship with both time, space, and his Girlfriends (Yes, two women love him, and they will cut a bitch who tries to join in.)

Their adventure across time, eventually space, and multiple realities, as things don't go according to plan for anyone.

We will find that even in the darkest pits, the light can be found at the top of the highest tower and the moon can be seen in a darkened night.

The climb is long.

But Darren, Anna, and Jessa will turn the dark world bright again even as the world tries to drag them down into darkness.
