Before we start, I want to thank you for giving Reiss of the Eternal a try. I've been working on this for a while, and it's been a long and arduous journey. I wanted to give up more than once, but now it's out, and this is only the very beginning, hope you can find enjoyment in what I wrote, and if you do, then leave a comment since I feed on validation from strangers. Thank you.
On a second note, it's also been made apparent to me that I have a problem with punctuation, I'm terribly sorry and while I don't want to use it as an excuse, this is due to me not being a native speaker, not having any kind of studies on the language and mostly being self-taught. I do heavily proofread my work several times over but things just keep popping out; I hope that with time these things will be corrected, but until then I hope you can understand.
If you find an error, feel free to point it out and I will correct it. Future chapters will be even more harshly proofread.
Also, I want to thank Reddit user kllrnooooova for taking the time of his day to make corrections on the prologue.
with that out of the way I hope you have a good time!
Expectations suck and young Edwin knows it better than most. Born the youngest son of the second wife of a retired adventurer turned village guardian, he feels his life is being taken away from him, being shaped by what others want him to do.
His grandfather expects him to succeed in his life’s work as village head, his father expects Edwin to be better than him, and his older brother expects him to just drop dead.
What is he to do?
He’s the weakest and most untalented of his siblings, whatever he can do. Surely his older "grumpier" half-brother and "Unique" half-sister can do better.
If it was up to him, he would go out and brave the dangers of the world, dread wolves, dragons, giant sand worms, and gargantuan sea serpents. He would fight them all and live many adventures, turning his name into legend.
Sadly, things hardly go the way we want them to.
Lucky for him, the recent arrival of a mage to the coastal town of Hillside has given Edwin an opportunity, a chance that may change his life forever as outside forces play in the background with the delicate balance maintaining the peace.
Edwin will now give it his all to journey through the path of magic while learning about the people in his life and the circumstances that lead to his birth.
Wait, who's this girl, and why does she have horns?!
