Scorching Ascension - [Progression Litrpg Apocalypse]

The story is on a short-term hiatus while I close up another project, should be back around the end of summer (2026)! A system apocalypse where everyone must collect spells and spellforms, and where survival depends on upgrading and mastering them. Ethan Voss had been restocking soup cans when the system found his world. Its first order of business? Forcing everyone to select a class of Arcanums, and then subjecting them to a process reserved for mana-less worlds: The Integration Tutorial. To prepare them for what is to come once they are back in their world. Equipped with soul-bound constructs that evolve and shift forms, the participants are thrust into brutal trials where survival demands rapid growth, and where the monsters aren't the only source of levels and fragments. For Ethan, this was perfect. This new world would be his chance to forge himself a new life outside of the shadow of his past. He just needed a chance and this might just be it. He will claw himself to the top, no matter the cost. ~ Start reading - Chapter 1 ~ What to expect: - System-integration Litrpg with a twist: No classes, only Arcanums; a construct that allows the equipping of spells and spellforms. - Arcanums can take the shape of armaments (weapon, armor), body enhancements (claws, tails, scales), or can take the form of a wand. All forms can cast the spells equipped*  - An ambitious MC that rewards favors and has no qualms returning slights. - Spicy cat - A highly customizable magic system, with imaginative spell combinations - Earned and fast (but not too fast) progression of a weak to strong MC through levels, stats, and interesting traits - No harems - Inspired by Noita for the wand customization.   Schedule: 2 to 3 chapters spread out between Wed-Thu-Friday, last week of the month off for editing and/or rest Publishing on RoyalRoad and Patreon only.
