Dark Resurrection: Shadows of Nekrom

SOMBRACorpDT
Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, who is thrown into another world without any explanation. Only to die. And live again. And die once again. Death and Resurrection. Loops and cycles. Pain and suffering. A path of fear and violence. Of Divine powers and thaumaturgy. Of blood and horrors lurking in every corner. A path that Tristessa will need to traverse if she wants to uncover the dark, evil truths behind her lost memories, and the tragedies that are bringing that new world, Nekrom, to the brink of collapse, under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen... Author's notes: Hi there, SOMBRA here. As a newbie author on the platform, I need to use this space to comment a few things about DarkRE: SoN. *The story is going to be brutal. Gore, violence, psychological horror and uncomfortable topics. Beware about it. *There's a "system", only not in the classic way as seen in the common denominator of the genre. *There will be romance here and there, but it's not one of the strong points of the story. *You may think that I want to make the MC suffer, like forcing her to push a boulder up the hill like Sisyphus. All I’m going to say is that at the end of every struggle there is a reward, for those who doesn’t falter. *I'm writing for fun. I love it and I've no intention of stopping until I finish this story. Expect more than 1000 chapters, with an average of about 1000-1500 words/chapter. With that said, for those lost souls who happened to find this story, welcome and enjoy! Also, here's a Spotify playlist that I update while thinking about DarkRE: SoN. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RCltbnEyuA0jyiUWWZszT?si=wsfn7XO9TGSnJoiqSiWjKA&pi=wFlnFr9CS3yoC

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time. Also hides an ancient “Truth Protocol”—
