Carrion World

This world is a corpse, a dying entity whose decay spawns cosmic horrors. For one gifted mercenary, this is not theory—it's a curse. His mind can perceive the gruesome truth, a sanity-shattering insight that reveals the path to survival also leads to madness. To protect the few he calls brothers, he must harness forbidden relics and sign pacts with unspeakable things, paying for every sliver of power with his own humanity. In this desperate struggle, victory isn't about strength, but about intellect. He must play a losing game of wits against incomprehensible gods, where the only prize for outsmarting the abyss is a fate worse than death. Will his schemes save them, or just earn them a more terrifying end?
