Introduction: The world has forgotten the old ways of magic and the occult. Any mana that was once in abundance is now a finite resource. A resource tightly guarded by the few who remember the old ways, locked deep in their vaults to be sparsely used. But to the rest of the world, magic is but an old tradition. The once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids discussed on internet forums. Organizations that in the ancient times guided the world of mortals from the shadows turned into conspiracy theories. And powerful rituals and ancient gods, nothing more than superstition and old beliefs.And that is also the world in which Samuel was born. The last member of a once infamous family of wizards known for their deals with Eldritch beings. He is now a young but already washed-up exorcist going through life on autopilot, dreaming about the tales of his family's greatness and arcane prowess. Until the day comes when everything changes, when a promise of chaos and the revival of magic arrives. As cryptids crawl out from their hidden lairs, as the Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and as college Halloween haunted-house parties turn into real horrors, society begins to panic, breaking at its seams.With all the chaos to come, only one thing comes to the mind for an heir of dark mages. It is time to call the Eldrich gods, and maybe fight some ghosts and demons in the meantime.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]What to expect:- Magic with a magic system that's a bit more occult and ritualistic- Competent protagonist- Lovecraftian deity here and there- The litRPG elements in the background and used more as a show of growth rather than the main focus, so no system with blue windows- No harem- Regular updates at least 5 times a week, probably daily during Writathon...
