James was summoned to throne room under siege. Having assassinated the royal Princes, the Cult of the Void launched a full assault on the Royal Castle. Through the sacrifice of the Knight Commander, James escapes with his life and the kingdom's last hope: Princess Elysria. Now fugitives, they’re forced to hide within the massive Undercity. Hunted by the Cult and surrounded by dangerous factions, James must rank up and rise back to the top. Literally. James must learn to wield his Grand Curator class effectively: Procure treasures for the Dragon Goddess Aurelia’s hoard, and she in turn will grant him power accordingly. But James doesn’t have much time. Things are deteriorating on the surface. The Cult’s leaders are solely focused on retrieving the princess for the doomsday ritual, leaving everything else to burn. Winter is coming... But all the grain has all been sold off and the treasury has been emptied… All to hire mercenaries and bounty hunters. What happens when a victorious cult has no intention of ruling what it has conquered? ---- What to expect: - Faster-Paced Action - A fleshed-out Undercity, split across three factions. - Light Crafting - 5 chapters a week: Monday to Friday.
