About this ebook
Riven survived the Unbound Trial.
He survived the truth buried inside the Genesis Core.
He even survived learning that something ancient may be waking inside him.
But returning to Earth does not bring him home.
It brings him into a war already beginning without him.
His first use of Authority was witnessed across the world. Governments are demanding answers. Guilds are choosing sides. Hollow Crown is under pressure. Supporters see Riven as proof that humanity can finally escape the limits imposed by the Prime System.
Others see him as the beginning of extinction.
Then the failures start.
Dungeons merge without warning.
Awakenings malfunction.
Bosses activate before their cycles.
Powerful Classes behave in ways their users never commanded.
And every time Riven uses Authority to fix one problem, another part of the System reacts.
The connection is impossible to ignore.
Something is fighting back.
When Caelan Ward receives a command through his own Shadow Reaper Class and nearly kills against his will, Mira Thorne uncovers a terrifying secret hidden inside humanity's most powerful Classes.
They were never completely free.
Buried beneath the skills, levels, evolutions, and stat growth is another layer.
A control architecture.
A leash.
And the stronger an Awakener becomes, the tighter that leash can become.
Now Riven faces enemies on every side.
Prime Enforcers have developed weapons capable of suppressing his Authority.
Political leaders want Hollow Crown contained.
Garrick Vane is building a coalition against him.
The First Ascendant's presence inside the Genesis Core is becoming harder to ignore.
And millions of people are beginning to ask the question the Prime System never wanted humanity to consider:
If your Class can control you, was the power ever really yours?
Riven has spent years fighting for the right to choose his own path.
Now he may have to decide whether he has the right to break everyone else's chains too.
Because Earth's transformation is not finished.
The Shattering was never truly over.
And somewhere behind the screens humanity has trusted for seventy years, a countdown is still running.
ZERO-CLASS ASCENDANT: AUTHORITY is Book Six of the Zero-Class Ascendant series, a Science Fiction LitRPG and progression fantasy adventure packed with System manipulation, hidden Class controls, political conflict, dungeon instability, tactical combat, forbidden progression, evolving Authority powers, Prime Enforcers, dangerous revelations, and a Classless protagonist who is becoming powerful enough to challenge the structure controlling an entire world.
Riven wanted freedom from the System.
Now he must discover what the System was preparing Earth for.
