DEATH ROW ARCANIST

Four days until the city votes on whether to erase his soul. Ethan Hayes wakes in another world on a stone throne, surrounded by worshippers calling him the Final Observer. Four divine lights descend to bless him. For about forty seconds, he thinks he has become the chosen hero of a fantasy world. Then the ceiling explodes. Blood Hunters raid the cathedral, drag him off the throne, and arrest him for kidnapping, ritual murder, illegal spirit trafficking, mass enthrallment—and leading the infamous Four Pillars Cult. There is only one problem. Ethan remembers none of it. The man wearing his face may have been a monster, but the soul inside that body came from Earth. Grayhaven does not care. In four days, Ethan will be placed before the Blood Moon Judgment, a citywide spectacle where the public can decide his sentence—including the destruction of his soul. Then Ethan discovers something impossible inside the magical interface implanted in his body.AURORA’S ARCANIST HANDBOOK. A mobile game he downloaded before leaving Earth. The broken game can connect him to real people across distant worlds, register them as Operators, share their training and experience with him, and turn relationships into power. It may be his only way off death row. But every new Operator has a life of their own. Every shortcut has consequences. And the deeper Ethan digs into the Four Pillars, the Arcanist system, and the man whose body he inherited, the more dangerous one question becomes:Why did the Handbook follow him here? To survive, Ethan must become an Arcanist. To remain himself, he must learn where power ends—and ownership begins. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: DEATH ROW ARCANIST — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
