Riven survived being Classless.
He learned how to break skills.
He claimed Hollow Crown.
And now the secret is over.
When evidence of his impossible progression leaks beyond Hollow Crown, Riven’s existence becomes a global obsession. Governments want access to him. Guilds want control of him. Elite Awakeners want to test themselves against him. The Prime System itself cannot decide where he belongs.
Then his status appears in the global rankings.
CLASS: ERROR
WORLD RANK: UNDEFINED
For Riven, the timing could not be worse.
Hollow Crown has confirmed that his father, Elias Cole, passed through a World Gate and may still be alive somewhere beyond Earth. The only way to follow that trail is through restricted global gate archives controlled by the same powers now watching Riven’s every move.
Then an opportunity appears.
A worldwide combat tournament.
The strongest young Awakeners on Earth will compete before millions of viewers, with access to sealed System resources and World Gate data waiting at the top.
Riven enters for one reason.
Find Elias.
But the tournament quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
Legendary heirs.
Elite Classes.
Political manipulation.
Rival nations.
Hidden System safeguards.
Old enemies.
And a Prime System determined to make sure a man with no Class never becomes the example the rest of humanity starts following.
Riven has spent his entire life breaking rules.
In front of the entire world, he is about to do something no Awakener has ever done.
He is going to change one.
