Hello everyone! I’ve been working on several stories, but I found one that really resonates with me.
Some of the main concepts of this story were the result of me going “hey, this concept I have for one story is boring by itself. Same goes for the other. Why don’t I just try to combine them?” As a result, Corpse Reviver was born.
Corpse Reviver is essentially an angsty revenge story where you play as a morally ambiguous character titled ‘The Angel’ who roams the land with their brother, The Devil. It will be a dark fantasy game with a mix of modern and medieval themes. I may also incorporate a smidge of futuristic elements (because every time I play FFXIV and I see the regalia mount I cry a little on the inside and get inspired).
Synopsis
The story takes place in Eldris, a world where it’s natural inhabitants are forced to coexist with entities called Lifelines and Binders. These entities suddenly appeared after Nephilim’s wrath and are fabricated with an essence, yora, which seems to flow through all things living. They’re on the constant search for humans who are ideal vessels for storing the same essence they are made of… and most of the time, this symbiotic relationship is unwarranted. They’ll do whatever it takes to survive while on conquest for self preservation.
You and your brother are an anomaly in this world. The day you regained consciousness was the day you were quick to realize the powers you both possess. While you are an immortal basin of essence and healing, your brother is less than mortal. He is a corpse in constant need of essence to function, but he also needs it to amass power beyond what any creature in Eldris should be capable of. The two of you make a dangerous pair, seeing as how you are an infinite generator of essence and he is an immense user of it. Will that power go to your head?
With fractured memories and a strong feeling you lost something, the two of you set out to discover where you are and what happened to you.
However, lots of eyes are aimed at you and your brother ever since your reawakening, precious vessel.
Notable Characters

A Royal Huntress who is looking to snuff out her prey. She is domineering, professional, and violent with her catch. If something will benefit her people, she is more than willing to bend her morals to achieve it.
