𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 - 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 🇿🇦 📖 The Turquoise Serpent Trials of Oma Jiao Tu's Endeavor I need to get into reading more indie stuff. I've been trying to brush up on older authors.

Trials of Oma, The Book of Suffering

Is rivalry a lost concept amongst the men of this age? Does one necessarily have to be an enemy to be your rival?

Will we ever take Europe back for Christ?

Reincarnation in the Trials of Oma isn’t actual. It is figurative and symbolic. Someone’s son or distant descendant may or may not embody the character of his forefather. That is why En, who is called the reincarnate of Paraés, meets him in the Temporamida. Two distinct souls.

My musings on Sci-Fi. This is NOT a hit piece. It’s an observation brought about by my scrutiny of powerful figures (as well as their fanboys) who garner all of their inspiration from the genre. I have a bone to pick with Sci-Fi, not because I don’t think it’s cool, but
