Bearer

Restore the lost light, O' Bearer of Bells.

Allen had already lost everything—his home, his love, his best friend, and the fragile sobriety that held him together. But that wasn’t the end. That was just the beginning of his nightmare.

After a betrayal that shatters his world, Allen wakes up imprisoned by a deranged scientist named Dr. Bill, a man obsessed with alternate realities. Without consent, Allen is cast into a foreign, dying realm called Roya Hadoon, a world fractured by mysterious cosmic cataclysms and haunted by the Sunless—twisted, undead husks of once-living people.

Now called a Bearer, Allen finds himself in a decaying land governed by cruel game-like rules. He is given no guidance, only a mandate: “Find the shards. Restore the suns. Save the world I broke.”

Armed with little more than rusty weapons, a spectral user interface, and painful memories, Allen must fight tooth and nail to survive. He soon realizes that every death carries a cost, every choice has weight, and every soul lost pushes him closer to a final, irreversible end.

As he battles through waves of Sunless monsters, pieces together cryptic notes from past Bearers, and uncovers ancient magic systems linked to the fallen suns of this world, Allen’s journey becomes one of transformation. With each new “death” and his few remaining resurrections, he discovers horrifying truths about the world—and himself.

Is he a pawn in someone else's twisted experiment, or the last hope for a dying realm? Is redemption even possible for someone who’s been forced to kill, die, and kill again? And when he finally discovers what the shards of the suns truly are... will he still want to save this world?

Perfect for fans of Dark Souls, The Witcher, and Ready Player One, Shards of the Suns combines brutal survival fantasy with game-like mechanics and immersive storytelling.
