Dorian Voss dies on Earth and awakens beneath a blood-red sky in Veyr, a brutal world of monsters, dungeons, divine Marks, powerful classes, and supernatural progression. Here, every person's path to power is controlled by the Seven Gods of the Divine Covenant.
But Dorian has no divine patron.
No class.
No blessing.
According to the system, he should be powerless.
Then Dorian kills his first monster and receives something that should not exist: the Forsaken Mark.
Instead of earning power through the gods, Dorian can extract Fragments from the creatures he defeats and combine them into abilities of his own. Regeneration. Enhanced movement. Essence sight. Powers no established class was designed to contain.
There is only one problem.
Every power leaves a Scar.
The stronger Dorian becomes, the more his body and soul change. Worse, the Covenant has noticed him, and the gods have spent thousands of years making certain people like Dorian disappear.
With monsters closing in, divine authorities hunting him, and a strange group of companions becoming the closest thing he has to a family in this new world, Dorian must uncover why the gods fear the Forsaken before his growing power destroys the person he used to be.
Because Dorian is about to discover something Veyr was never supposed to remember.
He is not the first.
Mark of the Forsaken is Book One of The Godless Ascendant Trilogy, an action-packed LitRPG progression fantasy featuring a unique ability-building system, meaningful progression, monster battles, dungeons, divine conspiracies, found family, dangerous experimentation, and power that always comes with a price.05:43
