Corin Ashvale was born to inherit an empire. Instead, he got framed for his cousin's crimes, exiled to a village at the edge of nowhere, and handed the one class every noble in the capital laughs at: Hearthkeeper. No blade skills. No spellcraft. Just an inn nobody wants, a leaking roof, and a class so far beneath him it might as well be a punishment. Then Corin gives a freezing traveler a bowl of soup -- and the System notices. Every guest who eats at his table, sleeps under his roof, or simply stops shivering in his common room starts leveling up. Quietly. Powerfully. And nobody in the capital ever thought to ask what happens when the "weakest class in the kingdom" starts building an army of people who owe him everything. One room. One fireplace. One exiled noble with nothing left to lose. The trash-tier class is about to become the most dangerous secret in the Barony. Book One of The Innkeeper's Ascension -- a cozy, addictive LitRPG about rebuilding from nothing, one satisfied guest at a time.
