Born from Chaos
A spark of Order born from the heart of Chaos itself.
When tavern server Myrith defies a powerful officer of the Overlord’s army, she expects punishment—perhaps even death. Instead, she finds herself imprisoned, rescued by thieves, and drawn into a shadow war between the remnants of a fallen god’s followers and the tyrant who crushed them.
As secrets of her birth come to light, Myrith learns she may be the key to restoring balance to a world ruled by cruelty and fear. But accepting her destiny means embracing both the order and the chaos within her—and choosing whether to become a weapon of vengeance or a champion of justice.
Born from Chaos is a tale of awakening power, defiance, and divine legacy set in the world of Chaos Reigns.
