"SPIRIT" is a fantasy novel by Max Gudvin, the first book of the same series, genres: cyberpunk, action fantasy, RealRPG. The world is not arranged the way you thought… or maybe you think. People, animals—yes, they all die. But their identities, character, and abilities continue living in their shadows, which are sent to the Hall of Lamentations—a place where they wait for their rebirth. A place where none of their desires, prayers, or tears will ever be heard. Until their shadows are reborn, special guards—selters—protect them. These are the former shadows of people who, in life, became legends, heroes, or, as many now think, myths. In the universe everything is interconnected—everything somehow proceeds from it and strives toward something. For every action there is a purpose. Even a simple flutter of butterfly wings has a goal. What is it? No one knows except the very nature of life and death. But what happened in the Hall of Lamentations threatened to break the foundations of the world and the very essence of cosmic balance. Shadows… ran away.
