Torchbearer 0.5

"Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to you — It's being reborn."

Reincarnated into a world of magic with nothing but the ability to evolve technology, Samantha had to strive tirelessly to become the hero she needs to be if she wants those she loves to survive.

Even when war against the tyrannical Mage Lords broke out, she didn't flinch—she pushed straight through their opposition, all the way to the negotiating table.

But the morning they're supposed to sign the peace treaty, Sam wakes up in a stranger's body, in a stranger place, haunted by memories she refuses to believe.

With reality itself beginning to fragment, and bizarre amalgamations of myth and machine hounding her every step, she has to find a way back in time before this duplicitous realm collapses, and buries all hope for peace with it.

Inspired by The Matrix, Inception, and Blade Runner, as well as games such as Persona 5, Superhot, Control, and The Secret World, This is a story about overcoming grief, breaking the shackles that bind you, and finding your true self.
