The Soot Veil
You're not chosen. You are not invoked. You are not blessed. You would just go home. An ordinary door, a distracted step, your phone still on in your hand... then the world you knew disappears behind you. Here you are in a gothic and industrial kingdom, where coal smoke chokes the streets, where gas lamps bleed in the fog, where guilds hunt monsters that were sometimes human, and where the Church engraves its sacred laws above hungry bodies. It's not a comfortable isekai. You don't have papers. No valid money. No allies. No guild license. Not the language. No protection. No idea where you are. The Crown governs the law. The Church governs the soul. Guilds govern survival. The Nobles rule the blood. The Merchants govern the debt. The poor carry everything until they break. The world wasn't expecting you. The Soot Veil is set in the Kingdom of Aurelgrave, a Gothic monarchy
