I've just dropped the first 9 chapters of here on Royal Road, and am really excited to be back with a brand new story. I've been writing my fingers to the bone with this one, and am already some 250k words in. My hope is that Harald's story will go the distance, and I can't wait to hear what you guys think.

  Here's the blurb:

  

  Harald Darrowdelve's journey begins at rock bottom.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  Born into privilege, his life of indolence has left him with a weak will and a frail body. But everything changes forever when a demon's mysterious blessing deep within the angelic corpse dungeon beneath Flutic bestows upon him dark, formidable powers.

  But power is a double-edged sword. As Harald trains his body and sharpens his mind, his growing accomplishments thrust him deep into the machinations of Flutic's noble houses and a relentless celestial conflict raging over the dungeon's arcane secrets.

  As Harald grows in might and cunning, will his morality survive the ascent, or will the dark allure of power consume him?

  This story features:

  * A slow-burn progression fantasy with consistent, rewarding growth.

  * A 100 level dungeon

  * The story has stats, but is crunch light.

  * Complex characters navigating friendships, rivalries, and political intrigue.

  * A unique magic system where power comes from consuming the very essence of a fallen celestial being.
