The continent of Kanoi has all but fallen to the emperor, a champion who stood atop the peak of the highest mountain and sought to conquer all he saw below. Garai returns to find his village burning, razed by the empire's soldiers. With his family dead on the floor of his home, he takes it upon himself to put an end to the emperor's tyranny. But he is not the first; many have tried and all failed. Garai, however, discovers why. The emperor is unkillable. Now, his hope hinges on finding the divine artifacts, ancient weapons of great power, capable of killing even gods. But he is not the only one after them Whoever finds the divine artifact wins the war. WHAT TO EXPECT: Progression fantasy where growth is earned. Unique power system were strength can be earned by all regardless of clan, family background or race/species. Memorable characters you will certainly root for. If you are a fan of lore and mythology (Greek, Norse, Egyptian, etc) like me, you should give it a try.
