Portals to evolution
In a world forever changed by the appearance of mysterious portals, Earth is no longer the only frontier. These gateways lead to the Forsaken World, an incomprehensibly vast and dangerous plane filled with deadly creatures, uncharted lands, and untold opportunities. For those daring enough to enter, the risk of death is constant—but so is the promise of evolution.
Evolvers grow stronger by hunting the Forsaken World’s monstrous inhabitants, absorbing their essence to gain power and face ever-greater challenges. The portals have drawn countless seekers of strength, power, and survival—each gambling with their lives.
Victor grew up on the fringes of this new society. Orphaned and excluded, even by those meant to care for him, he was forced into a life of theft just to survive. After nearly losing his place in the orphanage, he began stealing from the wealthy to pay his way, juggling a double life as a diligent student and desperate thief.
Driven by the need to escape his circumstances and provide for those he cares about, Victor sees the Forsaken World as both his greatest risk and his only chance. With alliances forming and enemies closing in, he must decide: will he fall to the dangers of the Forsaken World, or rise as one of its greatest Evolvers?
So yea......... 5 stars, yep, you heard me 5 stars. The word count is almost done yea. So yea 5 stars. Nice book. I mean, from start to finish, this story had me hooked. Victor's journey, his growth, and his determination to break through his limits make him an incredibly relatable and inspiring character. The world-building is top-notch—there's a clear sense of depth to the setting, and it really feels like you're stepping into a harsh, yet full of potential, world. The pacing is great too, never too slow or too rushed. It’s perfectly balanced between action and character development. I especially liked how the stakes are continuously raised. From Victor’s humble beginnings to the larger forces at play, you can tell the author knows exactly where they’re taking this. The characters, especially Victor, are given so much depth. You really get to understand his thoughts, motivations, and his internal struggles, which makes him feel like a real person. And the way he interacts with others? It feels so natural and realistic. The little details like the way Victor thinks about stats and his ambition to push beyond the limits are fascinating. The stats system isn’t just an arbitrary thing—it really affects the characters’ lives, and it's integrated into the world in a way that feels very real. And then there’s the cliffhanger at the end! The twist with the bounty and the artifact? Yeah, I did not see that coming. It’s the perfect setup for the next chapter in his journey, and I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds. Overall, this book is an excellent start to what promises to be an epic story. If you're a fan of characters who fight against the odds, an immersive world, and a plot filled with twists and turns, this is definitely for you. Highly recommended!
