He lead a relatively simple life. He studied up until high school and went to college. He had pretty decent grades but he didn't overstep his boundaries, because honestly, he couldn't give a single shit. If it weren't for the games he played and the stories he had often read with really nasty characters that showed the true horridity of the human nature, he prolly already had killed himself off. The monotony that accompanied his loneliness was far greater than any piss-off-life-is-great person could understand. It was due to this that he had found solace in xianxia novels.

In a world where magical runes called Rebirths rest in the hands of hostile nations, fourteen-year-old Aiden lived a quiet life in a small town conveniently named Khalm. Born with crescent-shaped irises and silver hair, young Aiden was never bothered by his unusual birthmarks until the night his life as a simple delivery boy changed. He was the 'Rebirth Destroyer', someone ruling powers deemed a threat. Chased by death and the foretelling of the world ending by his hands, Aiden soon finds that there are few people he can trust. My stories are fantasy-based and heavily influenced by classic Final Fantasy games ( by classic I mean 1-10 ) and other Japanese Role-Playing Games I used to enjoy, with one difference; the main characters are Black. July 2022 update! After months of deliberation, I've decided to continue with this cast of characters in the next books instead. The loose ends in this story have been keeping me up all night. I've gotten started on 2 sequels to this; Rebirth of Destiny II based on the good ending and the alternative ending. After I get a good backlog built up they'll be published once a week.
