Contender Stories

In the world of Eridrith, power isn't given- it's taken. Every decade, five factions send their best contenders to compete in The Dominion Trials, a brutal game where reality shifts, illusion kills, and only one can claim the Hollow Crown. Kayla Rune never wanted the throne- she only entered to find out what happened to her older brother, Kael Rune, who won the last trials... and vanished. But as she fights through the grid, she sees visions of past rulers trapped in an endless nightmare. The hollow crown isn't a prize. It's a prison. Kayla has two choices: win the trials and be consumed by the crown or destroy the dominion before it claims her. One thing's for sure- she's not here to play the game. . . . Author's Note: The Last Contender is a completed novel, but it's currently undergoing revisions to sharpen its characters, deepen its world-building, and refine its storytelling. This version is still evolving, so some details may change as I continue shaping the story into its best form. Thank you for your patience and support-I hope you enjoy immersing yourself in the world of Eridrith, the perilous Dominion Trials, and the mysteries surrounding the Hollow Crown. P.S this story is also posted on the WEBNOVEL under the same name and title.

Cover credit: alpacarma on tumblr A oneshot of "the cuphead show". Connected to the last episode of season 2 and the first ep season 3. This is also in the devils POV "Losing his touch? I think not". While during that moment he was right. However maybe he overrestimated his self. Maybe there was a better contender. And maybe that contender was imprisoned by him for a while.

It's a compilation of my every day insights, convictions, short poem, and learnings.. hope this would inspire me bouncing back to you as i share my heart.. to God be the Glory!
