He Who Was Chosen As The Fool

WSA 2025 Entry Contestant | High Fantasy · Mystery · Adventure · Romance He Who Was Chosen as the Fool Orien Duskwright never asked to be chosen. He thought he was just another orphan—until a shadow beast attacked, a quill ignited with living ink, and a hidden world called Eclipsara welcomed him through a door no one else could see. Now enrolled at Umbra Arcanum Academy, a school where magic is drawn from the stars and written in ink, Orien discovers he’s been bound to a mythical power no one understands: The Fool Pathway—a constellation that hasn’t chosen anyone in recorded history. But magic in Eclipsara is more than spells—it’s Thauma, a living force that connects everything, and some truths hide behind ink that bleeds across worlds. With mysterious artifacts scattered across realms, shadowy organizations watching his every move, and fragments of his past whispering to him through memory, Orien’s journey is only beginning. In a realm where stars are alive, ink remembers, and destinies are chosen by constellations… What happens when the Fool writes his own path? Author Notes: Chapters will usually be 1,000–2,000 words, with flexibility depending on flow. Two chapters daily minimum. I’ll aim for three once a week if time allows. Inspired by Percy Jackson, Lord of the Mysteries, Harry Potter, and The Golden Compass. Feel free to leave reviews—whether praise, critique, or wild theories. I read everything I can. Thank you for reading—and welcome to Eclipsara, where ink remembers what the world forgets.
