Rise Of The Lesser-Blood

Thomas is a lesser-blood, a social outcast fated to inherit the same cycle of failure, poverty, and submission that devastated his parents and older siblings. In a merciless world ruled by a strict social hierarchy and enforced by the iron grip of the Church, his only chance for survival lies in awakening a significant Talent. If he manages to do so, he may gain entry to the esteemed Blackspear Academy and pull his family into the fringes of the Holy City. However, on the day of his Awakening, fate takes an unpredictable turn. Rather than a typical awakening, Thomas's consciousness is forcefully drawn into the depths of the crystal. Within the void, he encounters a mysterious, otherworldly young man who calls Thomas his “successor” and imposes a cryptic System into his soul. With his destiny shattered and rewritten, Thomas is no longer a mere pawn of the kingdom. Equipped with an ancient, forbidden legacy, he embarks on a rapid ascent through the social hierarchy, openly challenging the absolute laws of the realm. Yet, power comes with a catastrophic cost. As Thomas becomes more powerful, his abilities attract the ire of the Holy City. Labeled a heretic and pursued across kingdoms by the relentless forces of the Church, he becomes entangled in a web of ancient secrets predating civilization itself. Still, amidst the chaos of war, betrayals, and the collapse of empires, one question propels him onward above all else: Who was the young man in the crystal, and what did he genuinely unleash upon the world? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Rise Of The Lesser-Blood — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
