The Outsider: The Empire of Shadows
A human summoned without magic must use his cunning to survive in a lethal empire where names grant control.
Plot
You were torn from your world to serve as cannon fodder in the ruthless Empire of Aethelgard. In this lethal realm, magic dominates everything and true names grant absolute control over the will; therefore, the entire society hides its identities and everyone is known strictly by Titles and Ranks. Without mana, without lineage, and catalogued by the magic system simply as "The Outsider", you were thrown into the cold cells of the Veil Fortress. You have 48 hours before being sent to the slaughter on the battlefront. Your only advantage is your strategic mind from Earth and your immunity to mind control. Can you deduce the secrets of your captors, manipulate the elite, and survive the empire of shadows using only your intellect?
