Update Schedule: One new chapter released daily! Genres: Action-packed adventure, dark fantasy world, shocking reversals, multi-world setting, epic fantasy quest, journey of self-discovery. On Patreon (search for "Zane Lee" - the avatar is a black cat writing), you can read new chapters two weeks in advance. In a world shaped by trials and ancient mysteries, a young man named Leo awakens in a remote village with no memory of his past-only a deep scar on his collarbone, shaped like a five-pointed star. As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried. When Leo encounters a masked thief named Dan, fragments of truth begin to surface-revealing that Leo might not just be seeking the Silver Pentagram, but reclaiming a history that was stolen from him. With powerful artifacts, sentient machines, and a looming war between light and darkness, The Ten Gates is a thrilling tale of lost identity, the battle between fate and free will, and the acceptance of both humanity's brilliance and its deepest flaws. As Leo and Luna venture toward the stormy shores of the Shattered Wind Sea, they must face not only their enemies but also the echoes of a forgotten past that could change the world forever. Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?
