Eternium: Eye Of The Beholder

Dragon_Cassanova
Gabriel Anderson has always seen the world differently. Where others see chaos, he sees patterns. Where others hesitate, he calculates. A disciplined fighter with a razor-sharp mind and an obsession with efficiency, Gabriel survives life by reducing every problem to its most optimal solution. But when he is pulled into a brutal selection process tied to the world’s most anticipated immersive game, that mindset is put to the ultimate test. What begins as a high-stakes competition of intellect, reflexes, and combat skill soon spirals into something far greater than a corporate tournament. After conquering a series of trials designed to measure the limits of human potential, Gabriel is thrust into Eternium, a living world governed by ancient powers, divine bloodlines, and a mysterious System that recognizes in him something impossible: the potential of a Nephilim. Transformed by forces he barely understands, Gabriel must navigate a realm of monsters, lost sanctums, sacred relics, and buried prophecies while wrestling with the voices growing inside him—Salvation, calm and guiding, and Oblivion, wild and destructive. Armed with overwhelming intellect, evolving power, and a relentless drive to master every battlefield, he faces enemies that range from savage beasts and cunning shamans to ancient constructs built to crush gods. But power in Eternium comes at a cost. Every victory pushes Gabriel closer to something greater—and more dangerous—than human. As he uncovers forbidden weapons, forgotten scriptures, and the truth behind his bloodline, he must decide what kind of force he will become in a world where divinity and ruin walk hand in hand. Eternium is a progression fantasy adventure blending tactical combat, system-driven evolution, divine mythology, and a protagonist whose greatest weapon is not his strength, but his ability to turn impossible odds into solvable equations.

The Extra: Subject 082

Rio only wanted to see how the story ended. Instead, he woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist, not even as a supporting character—but as someone who barely existed in the narrative. An extra with no importance, no future, and no place in the story’s direction. At least, that’s how it was supposed to be. Now in the body of Rio Valen, a disgraced noble exiled from his own house, he finds himself in a region the original story barely touched—one driven as much by advanced technology as it is by arcane power. And buried beneath it, something far worse. The facility he wakes up in shouldn’t exist. The experiments conducted there shouldn’t have succeeded. And whatever was placed inside him was never meant to survive. As fragments of memory return—both his own and the life he inherited—Rio begins to understand the situation he’s in. The world still follows its original course. The key figures are still moving toward the same future. But his existence doesn’t fit anywhere within it. Even so, people begin to notice him. Not because of who he is—but because of something they can’t quite explain. A presence. A flaw. Or something far more dangerous. Some approach out of curiosity. Others, for reasons he doesn’t understand. And a few, simply because staying away isn’t an option. With no role to follow and no clear path ahead, Rio is left with a simple choice: Stay invisible and survive. Or step into a story that was never meant to include him. Because in a world that already has its main character— an extra that shouldn’t exist might be the only thing that can change it. **The cover used is temperoray, I hold no credits towards the art**
