Codex of the Unwritten

Every soul in Veyra is written into Heaven. Aren Vael was erased from it. Born without Resonance in a world ruled by cultivators, Aren has spent twenty years powerless and forgotten. Then a forbidden ruin kills everyone except him. On the edge of death, Aren awakens the Sovereign Codex, an ancient power that allows him to Record the abilities of defeated enemies, Devour their remaining Essence, and Evolve beyond the limits imposed on ordinary cultivators. For the first time, Aren can grow stronger. But every step forward exposes another piece of a conspiracy surrounding his birth. His executed father claimed the sky was a cage. His mother vanished days later. Ancient records insist Aren Vael should not exist. And the gods are beginning to look in his direction. Aren spent his entire life beneath Heaven's notice. Now he'll discover why someone went to extraordinary lengths to keep him there. Cultivation. LitRPG progression. Tactical combat. Evolving abilities. Ancient mysteries. One very dangerous spear.
