Kazz wanted very little. A full stomach. A roof over his head. Friends to share the road with. His father became a husk of himself after killing eight Pack Bears, revealing the truth he’d hidden for seventeen years. Kazz isn't just a peddler. He's a Calomancer. Food is magic, and every calorie can be transformed into fire, power, speed, and any other forms of energy. Kazz is one of the few that possess not only the talent, but the primal instinct for it. Recruited by rebels and forced to leave the only life he's ever known, he'll train to master sword and magic, uncover the mysteries of the world with his friends, and save the only family he has left. Some people dream of changing the world. Kazz only wants to save his father and go back to his simple life. The Plutocracy, rebels, and the world beyond have much bigger plans for him. What to expect: Slowburn No harem Weak to strong Multi-pov, Main cast as important as MC Unique fantasy races. No dwarves, elves, orcs, etc... An Epic Fantasy with Progression Fantasy elements. Energy based magic system Chapter length: 1.5-2k words Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 5:03PM GMT
