Most climbers enter the dungeon hoping for power. Some enter hoping for glory. Kade Cross entered because he was tired of being helpless. On his first ascent, the dungeon assigns him a Mark—an ability so weak it borders on useless. No strength. No fire. No miracle worth bragging about. But Marks don’t grow through luck. They grow through use, stress, and understanding. As Kade survives floor by floor, he begins to realize his Mark isn’t about moving objects—it’s about deciding where force is allowed to resolve. A step lands where it shouldn’t. A strike hits harder than it should. Space bends, just a little. And when the dungeon finally kills him, it makes a mistake. A dark progression fantasy featuring a roguelike dungeon, evolving abilities, intelligent combat, and a world that adapts to those who break its rules.
