Emissary of Nothingness [LitRPG | Slow Burn Isekai]

The Voice gave Mark a second life and sent him to a world where people like him are burned at the stake. It just forgot to explain what the priests would be looking for. Mark had already survived the worst years of his life. Then he wasted the ones that came after them. He had plans. Good ones, even. He just never got around to starting them. Instead of waking up as a legendary hero, however, he finds himself trapped in the body of a nameless infant in a dirt-poor farming family. To claim this second life, Mark must survive the temple's tests and prove he isn't Abyss-touched. All he has is the promise of a System that refuses to fully awaken, and a Trait hidden behind a blacked-out name. No powerful mentor waiting to guide him. No legendary artifact falling into his lap. No power without effort. In a world shaped by Traits, Professions, and power, most people spend their lives trying to become someone. Mark's problem is figuring out what he already is. A character-driven slow-burn progression fantasy about second chances, family, mystery, and power earned one step at a time. Three books and 140+ chapters already written.
