The Liege of God

maremagnum
Twenty years before the Colonial Wars, ancient and long-forgotten powers have started to resurface in the lands of Symran. They were known as Siuni, or 'The Touch of God.' But there is nothing holy about their return. If you are worthy, you become something more than human; if not, you simply die a painful death. And the only way to find out which one you are is to take the risk. ... The sun burns in the desert, the land is barren, the country is doomed to war, and these lands have been abandoned by the Goddess. Arsh spent every day exactly like the previous one. But that wasn't a problem, because he believed that one day he would leave the desert and have the chance to explore the world. However, the chance he was expecting did not come the way he imagined. On the day his life changed forever, an ancient legend about the siuni helped him escape from the darkness. Now, guided by the power that saved him, he has begun his new life. Now he found himself in a world unlike anything he'd ever imagined... Symbols, ancient artifacts, forgotten legends, secret experiments, wars, and the beyond. Arsh must now try to survive in this new reality and exact his revenge. But is revenge his true destination, or merely a tool for his destiny?
