Path of the Last Champion (Arc 3 Complete)

Path of the Last Champion (Arc 3 Complete)

by TheWanderingWind

AdventureDramaDungeon CrawlerGameLitGrimdark

He was destined to die a sinner. Instead, he will rise as the Last Champion.Nar was born to pay for a sin he never committed. Locked in a cubeplant in the depths of the Between-Nexus, he's spent his entire life feeding the machine—cursed to die in darkness without ever seeing the sky.When he gets his one chance at freedom, he takes it.Now Nar must Climb. With a hybrid class he can barely control, a weapon that doesn't suit him, and a secret that would get him killed if his party discovered it, he'll brave the ageless depths of the B-Nex in search of the fabled surface.Nar is Climbing toward the surface, toward freedom, toward the power he needs to go back and rescue the father he left behind. The B-Nex doesn't forgive though, and it never forgets. Something in its depths is watching Nar's every move, waiting to see what he becomes.Some sinners are destined to fall. Others were born to rise. Book 1 is now available on Amazon and Audible! Book 2 is now available on Amazon and Audible!Arc 1 (book 1 and 2) underwent a massive re-write during the editing process, so they were stubbed at the same time, as it is impossible to read on from book 1 on Amazon to book 2 here on RR. Book 2 is also contractually tied to my publisher, so unfortunately I couldn't post it here. But the wait is almost over (1st September for Book 2), and book 2 is even more epic than the first! Don't miss the epic conclusion to Arc 1! We also have a Discord. What to expect: - A Sci-Fantasy LitRPG with massive world building, realistic party based combat centered around the holy trinity classes (+ party leaders!) with many unique paths/affinities (becoming more relevant in Arc 2!), an advanced tech society, dungeons, huge raids, a grand plot that slowly unravels, epic battles, and more! - A System that has been established for a long, long time (“There's nothing new in the Nexus!”) and which is crucial for the very functioning of society itself. - Support characters that will have unique classes/paths, as well as their own growth, motivations and storylines, and who will always remain relevant to the story (there will be different POVs, but MC’s POV is 95% of the story). - Slow burn and earned power! Nothing is given, there are no handouts, and no shortcuts! - Arc 1 is a Tower Climber through a vast, ancient, uncaring and cruel machine world. Our characters are flawed, and at times dumb, annoying and make poor decisions! But they learn and grow, and by the end of Arc 1, they’ve got themselves mostly put together, and have forged unbreakable bonds! - Arc 2 is after the Climb, and after the craziness and everything that the party endured in Arc 1, this is their chance to catch a bit of a breather, and learn more of the outside world. But there are secrets in the dark, things in motion our party does not yet suspect, and their break will not last forever...- Arc 3 arrives like a storm after the end of Arc 2 and is currently releasing! Big changes are coming for Nar and the party as they are thrust into their first long delve. Welcome to the Brightnight domain, the jungle ruled by the night, and a place of monstrous beasts and insane gains! There is no doubt that this will be a perilous delve, but the greatest danger might just come from those to whom you extend a helping hand to... And who knows what secrets lie forgotten in the sweltering jungle? - Arc 4 takes us into the mysterious, ancient darkness of the Frozen Heart. Whatever Nar will uncover there, it will change him forever... - 3 chapters weekly (MON-WED-FRI) - Average 3k words per chapter
