Path of Ascension, Book 1

Orphaned by monsters, chosen by destiny, forged by choice, Matt enters the race of his life in the bestselling LItRPG epic fantasy, action adventure, Path of Ascension!

Matt’s whole city died the same night as his parents. Orphaned and alone in a world where everyone is born with power…
and he spends his life training for the day he is granted his power and his revenge with it.

But not all powers are created equal and Matt’s is the most useless of the lot. Blessed with near unlimited mana regeneration, but virtually no mana pool and no way to increase his mana, his life Is over.

With no magical ability, and no way to use magice to increase it, Matt’s destiny is failure and servitude.
Or is it?

Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple who give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends - where the winners become as powerful as gods.

If he can suvive the Path he might just get the vengence he so desperatly needs. If the monsters of the rift don’t rend him limb from limb first.


Experience the start of an action-packed fantasy adventure that blends the best of LitRPG and Progression Fantasy with Xianxia (Chinese for “immortal heroes” and is Chinese fantasy inspired by Chinese mythology).
