Nate thought he was losing his mind, chasing an unexplained itch only he could feel. It led him to a world he can't call his own—one that still feels eerily familiar. Now stranded in a forest village wary of outsiders, he finds work under Io, a sharp-tongued woman with her own reasons for staying on the edge. When a distant noble’s schemes threaten their home, the two set out for the city in search of answers. But the city is no safer—plagued by unrest, illness, and a rot that runs deeper than either expected. In a place where they trust no one but each other, they must find a way forward. What future waits for two people who don’t belong anywhere?
Hi there, Gib here!
I’ve been thinking up stories for a long time, and eventually I started writing them down. Somehow, it turned into an isekai—but I wanted to do something different. Not just a copy-paste of familiar tropes, but something more grounded, more personal.
Did I succeed? I’m not sure yet. There’s still a lot of work to do.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll stick around as the story grows. I might revisit and improve the early chapters as I go.
