Book 1 - Threefold Soul
══════════════════
Characters:
══════════════════
Kai Gray
Race: Human
Origin: Earth
Age: 19
Status: Main body
Once an ordinary college student studying to become a teacher, Kai's life took a drastic turn after he was caught in a mysterious soul-fusion experiment.
Kai retains his human mindset and morality but must navigate his new reality while managing three separate bodies, each with its own powers, weaknesses, and mysteries.
══════════════════
Elandor Gilgrim
Race: Undead
Age: 1,162
Origin: Ossarith
Title(s): Arch-Necromancer, Founder of the Black Spire, Former Professor of the Third Gate
A legendary necromancer once feared across the world, Elandor Gilgrim was known for his mastery over soul manipulation, corpse animation, and mana theory. At the height of his power, he taught at the prestigious necromantic academy known as the Third Gate, before vanishing into seclusion to preserve his crumbling soul core after a failed experiement.
Obsessed with cheating true death, Gilgrim conducted a forbidden soul-fusion experiment intended to anchor his consciousness across multiple bodies. The ritual ultimately failed, resulting in his death—but not before binding two foreign souls into his network.
Though his original mind has perished, Gilgrim's vast mana reserves, magical imprint, and legacy continue to influence Kai Gray, who now occupies his body.
══════════════════
Lucian Noctis
Race: Vampire
Age: Unknown
Origin: Unknown Realm
Lucian Noctis is the name Kai Gray has given to the third body bound to his soul after the failed necromantic experiment. Trapped on a lifeless moon or drifting planetoid in the void of space, this form displays vampiric traits—elongated fangs, claw-like nails, and the ability to survive without air, food, or water.
Though Kai rarely inhabits this body due to the psychological toll and overwhelming hunger it induces, Lucian Noctis is believed to be the most powerful and least understood of the three.
══════════════════
Ysaria
Race: Undead Elf (Former Highborn)
Age: 142 (Bound for 24 years)
Origin: Ossarith
Status: Soulbound Servant (Originally contracted to Elandor Gilgrim)
Ysaria was once a proud highborn elf before entering into a soul-binding contract with Elandor Gilgrim, swearing to serve him in exchange for necromantic knowledge and extended undeath. For twenty-four years, she remained loyally bound to Gilgrim, acting as his assistant, caretaker, and errand-runner—though her duties often fell short of the mentorship she was promised which caused her to betray him.
Now, with Kai Gray inhabiting her former master's body, Ysaria sees both a threat and an opportunity. Though outwardly loyal, she is cunning and opportunistic, already maneuvering to leverage Kai's ignorance in order to reclaim the ambitions denied to her.
While she possesses extensive knowledge of necromantic customs, mana theory, and social power structures within her formor masters Dominion, her true motives remain veiled beneath charm, wit, and a fake loyalty.
