Ortus
novel
This is the old version of this story and the equivalent of a first draft; rough, and unfinished. I have improved essentially everything in this story and have begun publishing the series on Amazon . If the premise or first chapters sound interesting, please check it out! A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. All she has is a mysterious, black dagger stuck in her abdomen. And then, blue floating boxes appear, granting her life-altering, magical power. A strange, white monster with no eyes stalks out of a black stone tower, partially buried in the ground. A pure-white, fog-like substance fills it, poisonous to touch. What is all this? Forgotten civilisations and alien creatures? But first, baby steps. She doesn't have food, shelter, or even clothes yet. She must use her wits, knowledge, and maths to survive.
