All of the incredibly powerful high mages died out centuries ago. Nobody expected one to return.
I was just a simple blacksmith apprentice when a visit by the mages of Essalin confirmed what I’d long suspected—I could touch the aether. Destined to be a mage, I’m plucked from my village alongside a feisty redhead so we could journey to the fabled city of the high mages to learn how to control and wield the aether.
The road there isn’t going to be easy though. Brutal orc raiders are spreading across the continent for the first time in a hundred years, and rogue mages are stirring chaos in their wake. I find some allies along the way, including a highborn blonde with a sassy mouth, but it’s clear to me that I’ll need all the help I can get.
Especially when my coming shakes the foundations of the entire continent—all the way to the long-dormant throne of the High Mage King itself.
I hope they’re ready for me.
I was a nobody until my diving team conquered the first two dungeons in the Path of Progression. And now? I’m famous. Throughout Aspatria, everyone knows my name, and they’re all talking about just how powerful our team can become.
My enemies are taking notice too. After defeating the fabled Slayer in the second dungeon, I know someone is waiting to take their revenge on me. I need to watch my back as we set our sights on the next two dungeons. I also need to make sure my team of ass-kicking beauties continues to develop too, especially when a girl from my past shows interest in joining us.
It’s not going to be easy, but if I wanted easy, I would have just stayed home.
Join me now for the next book in the Dungeon Heroes saga!
Develop my team, dive the dungeons, and don’t ever stop.
I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers.
Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms. As it turns out, I have a few abilities that greatly increase our chances of actually finishing the Path, leading to a life of fame and luxury. Others soon notice the power I’m building though, and they’ll do anything to stop us.
I will conquer the Path of Progression with the help of my stunning companions.
That is unless the dungeon, or my secret enemy, kills me first.
