Grimborne (The Last Legacy)

[READER ADVISORY] This novel contains mature themes, graphic violence, body horror, and intense psychological content. The story explores moral decay, apathy, and the inhumane nature of survival. This is NOT a hero's journey, NOT a story of redemption, and NOT for readers sensitive to dark and disturbing content. Proceed at your own risk. a world where power has a price tag, Ren Vallis discovered the ultimate bargain: trade your humanity, buy godhood. The Harvest-Hospital of Sector 9 is a machine that processes human suffering into fuel. Ren, a patient with a body that rejects cybernetics and a mind that calculates survival odds instead of feeling fear, is its most flawed product. His only chance is the experimental drug "Void"—a substance that grants visions of forgotten memories and slowly unmakes the soul. When a catastrophic breach unleashes a tide of nightmares, Ren faces a choice that will define him: save a dying child calling for a hero, or seize the fragment of ancient power that could save himself. He makes the logical choice. He walks away. And as the child's screams fade, a new power awakens within him—the ability to consume the dead as "Echoes," trapping their skills and final moments in his mind. This is not a hero’s journey. It is a descent into optimal monstrosity. Becoming the entity known as Grimborne, Ren embarks on a cold odyssey across a dying world. He will infiltrate a decadent aristocracy that banquets on mystical flesh. He will bargain with a dying god-city in a desert of singing bones. He will win a war by coolly sacrificing every ally who trusts him. He will travel back in time to discover he is not a chosen one, but a glitch—a backup battery for a broken reality. But every Echo has a voice. Every power has a cost. And the ghost of the child he abandoned is the first invoice in a bill that will demand everything.

This is absolutely discontinuous nonsense

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.
