Rise of the Abyss

Book 1: The Fall is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited — continue Arvey’s journey there before returning to Royal Road with Chapter 76! Slavery taught Arvey one truth: freedom belongs to those strong enough to keep it. After years in chains, escape should have been his first step home—to the family he was torn from. And one day, he would make the Aristocracy that stole his old life pay for it. Instead, Arvey falls into the Abyss. The Abyss is a realm of monsters, ruthless factions, and power measured in Tiers. It should kill him within days. But something in its depths changes him, awakening a power he neither understands nor knows how to control. If Arvey wants to find a way home, survival won't be enough. He must climb the Tiers, master his mana, and uncover what the Abyss awakened inside him. But when his search for strength leads him to Duskmire, Arvey finds himself drawn into a conflict with a hidden Cult—and discovers its reach may lead back to the same Aristocracy he already has reason to hate. Arvey spent years at the mercy of stronger men. He has no intention of doing so again.
