The Long way Up [LitRpg]

DUE TO SOME PERSONAL REASONS, TGE BOOK WILL BE ON A HIATUS FOR FEW WEEKS ***************** In Aetherion, everyone has access to the class system. But not everyone becomes a legend. Elias Thorne is seventeen, and tomorrow he'll finally undergo his Awakening—the moment when the System recognizes him and grants access to classes, skills, and the quantified progression that every adult takes for granted. For most people in his farming village of Millbrook, this means choosing practical classes like Farmer or Craftsman and living comfortable, ordinary lives. But Elias has always dreamed of more. Choosing Scout as his first class, Elias sets out for the capital city of Silvercrest with nothing but determination and a handful of saved coins. What he finds is a world far larger and more complex than he imagined—seven continents filled with diverse species, ancient mysteries, and dangers that make his village's occasional wolf sighting seem quaint. With no special advantages, no cheat abilities, and no destiny guiding his path, Elias must earn every level through genuine effort and smart choices. Along the way, he'll form a party of equally unlikely adventurers: Mira, a brilliant but anxious fire mage; Garth, a gruff dwarven warrior with a tragic past; and others who become the family he never knew he needed. But as Elias grows stronger and explores deeper into Aetherion's secrets, he discovers that the world's recent changes—dungeons appearing where they shouldn't, monsters behaving strangely—might be connected to something far more dangerous than anyone realizes. Long way Ahead is a character-driven LitRPG epic about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, the power of found family, and the simple truth that the best victories are the ones you earn yourself. ________________________ RELEASE SCHEDULE: 5-7 chapters per week.  And you can read extra on my Patreon.
