Offered a second life, Harold accepts but with conditions. He can’t kill with his own hands. His health is crippled by 90%. And his only means of power is through the Branding of others. Each mark he gives forges a bond, allowing his chosen to grow alongside him. But Harold doesn't begin as a world-ending Calamity. He starts small, testing a talented Individual. Testing a adventurer family, then a village. Each cycle, he returns stronger. Each time, the challenge grows. Through hardship and planning, through those he binds and guides, he becomes the thing heroes must rise to defeat.
