Worldbound

Liam was born into a world that never wanted him. Raised in an orphanage, scorned by society, and left with nothing but loneliness, he lived a life of pain—until the day he died saving the only friend he ever had: a stray dog. But death wasn’t the end. It was the beginning. Awakened in a realm beyond life, Liam meets Goddess Ava, who offers him a second chance in a new world—one filled with monsters, magic, and mystery. Gifted with the Soulbound System, a living guide that tracks his skills and powers, and blessed with extraordinary luck, Liam is reborn in the Ancient Forest of Monsters with nothing but instinct and will. But this world is not kind to the weak. And Liam… has no intention of being weak ever again. Armed with a sentient weapon that grows stronger alongside him, Liam carves his own path through deadly forests, ancient ruins, and divine trials. He rises from a nameless wanderer to a symbol of power—known as the Lone Flame—all while uncovering secrets tied to the gods, the true origin of the Soulbound, and his own burning purpose. But he’s not the only one who’s been chosen. Others walk the world bearing flame. And one of them wants to burn it all down.
