Time magic versus mind magic.
Danny Taylor is the butler of an eccentric man whose apocalyptic predictions, impossibly, turn true. In an instant, the Earth is transformed into a ruthless world governed by an ironclad system of magic. The System grants his master power and land, but an unexplained malady renders him unfit to rule.
His master, Taylor learns, is fleeing a mind-devouring demon from the future. Taylor receives a Time Core and a chilling mission: find and kill this enemy before it consumes them all.
This story blends bits and pieces of time loop, deckbuilder, dungeon core, dark fantasy, thriller, and apocalypse stories. The tone is more serious and uses nontraditional Core/card drawing mechanics. This is a rewrite. The first chapters will go up quickly, and then I'll work through the rest at a steadier pace until the story is finished.
