Story Notes

There are stories in which the hero fears death. But Cain has spent centuries wishing it would come.

It was true that he was the first murderer. But he was also a husband who loved an ordinary woman, and a father whose little girl once laughed at the sound of a crooked bell. When his family was taken from him, immortality became something far crueller than a blessing.

This is a dark journey through the world of The Histories: a place of shadow-shifters, ancient creatures, collapsing rules and dungeons where every wound matters. Cain will gain levels and skills, but nothing can give him back the years he lost. Every ally must choose whether to trust him. Every mercy will cost him. And every step toward revenge risks awakening the violence he has spent lifetimes regretting.

Do not mistake an immortal man for an invincible one.

Come into the dark with Cain. The question is not whether he will survive ...it is what will remain of him when he does.

Summary

The first murderer cannot die ...but that doesn't mean he cannot be broken. For centuries, Cain has been chained beneath a mountain by a faction that walks through shadows. His crime? No one will tell him. His sentence? No end. Then the earth splits. And with iron still locked around his wrists, Cain escapes into a world he no longer recognises. Borders had changed overnight. Ancient creatures roam ruined roads. And a failing Reckoning measures life in levels, skills and dwindling HP. For everyone else, death is final. For Cain, even the worst defeat means waking to suffer again. Once, he had a wife, Tirzah, and a daughter, Keziah. They were murdered while he tended sheep in the mountains. Now a whispered name suggests their killer may still be alive—sustained by a darkness that should have claimed him centuries ago. To reach that man, Cain must survive shadow hunters, lethal dungeons and a journey to the western sea. But vengeance has a price ...and the world's first murderer may have to decide how much more blood he is willing to spill.

For the confused, I am trying my hand at LitRPG. But considering my experience if limted to one semester of D&D I am tempted to say Huston we might have a problem. Anyways, I hope you like it.

Happy Reading.

Silver's Second Chanceby CosmicChaos

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
