Synopsis
Jay was an ordinary high school student—quiet, broke, and utterly alone. With no family or friends, he lived by himself, working late nights at a convenience store just to pay his school fees. But one night, on his way home, fate turned cruel. Attacked by an escaped convict, Jay stood his ground... and paid for it with his life. Or so he thought. He awakens not in a hospital—but in the arms of a noblewoman in a strange, beautiful world ruled by magic and swords. Reborn as Ash, the child of a low-ranking noble family, he seems destined for a peaceful second life. But the truth is far from simple. In this world, those born with Light Swords are revered. Those without are outcasts. And those cursed with Dark Swords are executed on sight. Ash? He has both. A power that shouldn't exist. A secret that could destroy him. And a destiny written in shadow and flame. As he grows, Ash must hide his true nature, even from the family that loves him. But with whispers of ancient prophecy, forbidden realms, and war on the horizon, Ash will have to choose: Live in hiding—or rise as the one who was never meant to exist.

Welcome to the World of The Incursed One – A Brief Compendium

Hey there, brave reader!

Before you dive sword-first into the chaos, curses, and epic clashes of The Incursed One, here's a handy little guide to help you navigate the world. Don't worry—no massive spoilers (well... maybe a teeny one).

---

• The Light Sword

The Light Sword is a rare and divine gift, bestowed upon certain individuals at birth. Those born with a Light Sword are instantly elevated in society—celebrated, revered, and often feared. These chosen few are destined to become elite warriors, nobles, and leaders.

---

• The Demic Realm

When a Light Sword bearer reaches a certain level of mastery, they unlock the Demic Realm—a dimension conjured by their sword's will. Here, the swords take on ego-driven forms, and wielders must learn to master their sentient blades. Only by syncing with their sword's ego can they unlock their true combat potential—vital for battling demons, beasts, and worse…

---

• Swordless Humans (aka "The Low Ones")

Not everyone is born blessed. Those without any sword powers are labeled as Swordless or Low Ones. They're considered peasants—looked down upon, stepped over, and mostly ignored. Society rarely grants them respect… unless they find a way to prove everyone wrong.

---

• The Dark Sword

Now here's where things get twisted.

The Dark Sword is feared, hated, and whispered about like an ancient curse. While Light Sword wielders are honored, Dark Sword bearers are treated like monsters. Born with the power of darkness itself, these rare individuals are instantly branded as Cursed Ones and exiled to Death Valley, near the haunted Death Forest. Society says they're doomed to perish.

Society might be wrong.

• Dive Gates

Need to get across the continent in a blink? Dive Gates are ancient teleportation devices that allow fast travel between key locations. Super handy… assuming they don't glitch and drop you somewhere deadly. (Which... sometimes happens. Oops.)

---

• The Shadow Realm

Whispers of the Shadow Realm exist only in ancient, forbidden texts. No one knows what lies within—or if it even exists—except perhaps the elusive Arc-Mages. It's said that understanding this realm is key to something far greater... or far more terrifying.

---

A Word of Warning (Spoiler-ish):

A person can only possess one attribute: Light, Dark, or None. There's no switching, mixing, or cheating fate. Or… is there?

P.S. – From the Author:

That's all I'm revealing for now. If I say more, the Spoiler Squad will probably hunt me down with ego-powered swords.

But hey, while you wait for the next chapter of The Incursed One, why not check out my other series, Looping Time? It's got time loops, anime-style action, romance, and enough twists to break your neck. Seriously, you'll love it.

Stay sharp, stay cursed, and stay tuned.

— Your slightly chaotic author, [Your Name]
