PLEASE DO NOT disregard the content warnings. They are there for a reason. This is a gruesome body-horror story with no moral absolutism.The story is available in eBook and Paperback formats. It will remain available on RoyalRoad until the launch of the sequel in February, at which point it will probably be stubbed for KU.***Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten’s sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather. For seven painful years, Jakob studied the depraved craft of his monstruous mentor, before being let loose on the populace of the metropolis.With the vague task of creating the ultimate being to rival the greatest creation of Grandfather, he is left with nothing but the flesh-stitched robes on his body and the loyal wight Heskel. Together, the pair explore a civilisation that is utterly alien to them, as they were both raised in the dark and damp of the city’s underbelly.Along his journey, Jakob constructs many monsters and constructs, while dodging the noose of the guards and the Kingdom’s justice. He cavorts with demons and their spawn, joins the Adventurers’ Guild in his voracious hunt for knowledge, fights nightmares of his own creation, and parleys with Demon Lords and Great Ones.Many who believe him a weak child suffer eternally for their arrogance. Even the Kingdom, with its inexhaustible wealth and power, rues the day it chose to cross the Fleshcrafter Boy and interfere with his great undertaking.And in the end, even Grandfather must face the realisation that his creation is greater than he could ever have imagined.***I have plans to continue with a second book, so make sure to follow my profile if you enjoy the story.

interesting but boring
Bruh
Sometimes a bit boring (because there is no goal ) but otherwise good, its not amazing, but definitivly worth a read.
Huh? Sounds weird , maybe mildly interesting...
a well developed story, intresting characters and enjoyable world building. However there at no point seems to be a drive for the protaganist, he just goes from one thing to the next like the flowing of a river. another issue i have is as it swaps from perspective to perspective there is nothing to indicate it so as one person speaks and then with no warning a guy in another city is having a chat with someone else, no seperate paragraph or indication nothing so at those points you have no idea who is talking an why the conversation went on a total tangent until several lines later when it finally says who it is. TLDR : overall good story and idea execution could be better 3.5/5
Nurgle?
This doesn’t really sound plague or disease related tho
Yes.... ButSewers, Grandfather, demon Lord, devil, fleshcrafter, fleshstitched... =Skavens
Mike gets a call at work he had been waiting for. The baby is coming and the wifes already at the hospital! He hightails it from work gets there as fast as he can, and paces in the waiting room. A few minutes pass and a doctor comes out and asks "Are you mr Smith?""Yes yes whats the news?""you need to see this, its unbelievable but, YOUR CHILD CAN FLY Mike follows him into the nursery with a "Is this guy ret*rded" face. The doctor walks right up to the newborn in the crib and picks him up slightly and then lets go. The baby lands softly on his back."Hmm weird he just did it a second ago" So the doctor picks the baby up out of the crib and lets go. The baby hits the ground with a sickening thud.By now Mike is furious."NO IM SERIOUS HE JUST DID IT A SECOND AGO SEE LOOK" And what that, the doctor opens up the window on the fifth floor nursery and slings the baby out the window. The baby boomerangs right into a parked car, shattering the windshield, glass and guts go spraying everywhere.Just as Mike reaches his arm back to punch the everliving F**K out of the doctor he says "Nah man im just messin with ya. It was a stillborn"
