The Infinite Law [Progression Fantasy/Settlement Building]

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Sam is sick of just surviving. Something in the Abyss is beckoning him. It whispers in his ear, filling his head with voices, and an invisible force tugs on his heart. Sam's ability to resist is crumbling rapidly. He needs power, and the means to defend himself before he stumbles upon it, or the Abyss dweller finds him. A Scavenger's life is far from pleasant and comes with ever-increasing risks, but it's the only path to power. His fortunes change when a terrifying job leading to the Abyss's depths falls into his lap. Sam gets the chance not only to become more than a terrified mortal but also to find purpose beyond survival. Unfortunately, it involves entangling with the very creatures that killed his loved ones and almost tore his arm off. The chances of not making it home are high, but the promise of awakening is too good to resist. -----
