We don’t go into the Forest; we don’t go into the Sea. When Wake Utono’s world is shattered by the Sea Titan, the young sailor vows to stop at nothing to take his revenge. But even as he begins his journey into Knighthood, to fight alongside those warriors and alchemists capable of turning the Titans’ own power against them, he begins to suspect that the ‘systems’ of Falrok War College are missing something. Hollow, pale imitations of something more powerful… With humanity overpopulated and crushed behind the walls of Great Cities and smaller havens; with the omnipresent threat of the Titans hemming them in; with the vast, wild domains claimed by Titanspawn... Wake must start with nothing but a single axe on his path to becoming the greatest Knight ever. But what if the paths to power are already broken? What if the system of progression is missing? Wake must find what it takes within himself to wake a sleeping system, and try not to disturb anything else that might be slumbering nearby. 🌌 A litRPG where only echoes of the system are apparent (at first) 🏴☠️ Gritty MC who claws his way to his first powers before long steady grind to OP’ness 🏰 Magic school in a grimdark world (familiars, blessed/cursed gear, eldritch monsters) 🖤 Romance is hard when you’re more worried about getting eaten… 🗓️ Updates M-Th 📚 3 books complete ⚡ Read ahead on Patreon
