The debut installment of the HYDRA web novel series.

With the passage of time, the empty seat of the Director of the Sombre Arts remains void of any of the art's successors sitting on it for years. Its recent possessor of both seat and title mysteriously vanished and was presumed dead due to extensive searches throughout the continent of Agmadoren with no leads. However, instances of chaos began appearing without reason throughout the entire nation of Galamona; the balance of natural law descended into madness, as if foul play was involved. 

Would our protagonist, a champion of the Maidens of Darkness, find the source of the blight that begins to seep its mayhem throughout the peaceful nation? Set in a fusion of a steampunk world filled with European-Asian inspirations, read more as you delve into this whimsical, fantasy web novel with political play, as well as an extremely detailed look at the various creatures, magic, and locations scattered in the Path of Cathedra.

Hello guys, safe to say that Chapter 15 is currently being written and everything is in its start of the climax already.


 I'm currently sick with a viral exanthem (sad, I know) and I can't write properly with my brain being foggy as it ruins the quality I'm striving for. Additionally, this was scheduled to be published in early May as I just finished studying for exams while simultaneously going through extremely personal things. Apologies for the 2 months+ wait! 


I'm okay, did the check-up, and I'm just watching funny YouTube gaming videos to cheer me up! The draft for Chapter 15 is currently 3.6k words in the making, and that's all I'm going to say.
