Enter the Temple
Descend— to a place where ancient ruins dream.
Before the gods fell, they wrote one last truth into the bones of the world.
Once, we were not alone in our heads.
Now, the Temple is all that remains of collapsed memories. It continues to transmit in fragments.
This is a universe of broken time and haunted thought. But the Games remain. The labyrinth opens. The mind still bears the old scars.
Katabasis is the first descent.
Let the Games begin.
Katabasis is the first book in a mythic fantasy trilogy set in a surreal, metaphysical version of Ancient Olympia, where humanity once lived in a higher state of consciousness—and where the Games, handed down by the gods, now serve as brutal rites of transformation, empire, and revelation.
Kai Durvas is a mountaineer and dive master.
He observes the world through absence, drawn to the gaps in history where memory falters and myth begins.
His work explores the hidden architectures of consciousness, the edges of time, and the silence beneath language.
Fragments from the altars of gods, philosophers, and memory.
The arc of time once bore the logic and truth of the Gods. The Mysteries are now gone. But not all is lost.
