Ascension into flames

THE SKY RIPPED OPEN.MAGIC CRASHED INTO EARTH.THE WORLD DIDN’T END.IT BECAME SOMETHING WORSE. Seven years ago, the Gaia System merged with Earth. Eighty-two percent of humanity died. The survivors learned to live with monsters, dungeons, magic, and a world where strength determines who gets to see another sunrise. Dorian Blackwell survived by following one simple rule: You protect your brothers. No matter the cost. As the enforcer for the Filthy Few MC, Dorian has spent seven years fighting beside the only family that matters. He knows how to take a hit, how to dish one out, and how to make something bleed. Then a dungeon run goes horribly wrong. A monster tears his heart from his chest. Dorian dies. Except death isn’t the end. Something ancient is waiting on the other side. Something with scales, claws, and a voice inside his head. Dorian comes back stronger. Faster. Hungrier. And no longer entirely human. Now a dragon’s soul burns inside him, feeding on the pain and death he once fought to prevent. The more power he gains, the harder it becomes to tell where Dorian ends and the monster begins. But the Filthy Few don’t leave their own behind. When enemies come for his club, Dorian is ready to remind them of something they should have learned the first time: You don’t have to be human to be family. And sometimes… the monster is exactly what you need.
