System of the forsaken

Power comes at a price. His is everything.



Branded a traitor and left for dead, Malric awakens to a voice in his head—and a system that feeds on death. The Forsaken System grants him power by devouring the abilities, memories, and souls of those he slays. Each kill makes him stronger. Each use chips away at what little humanity he has left.



Hunted by the Church, stalked by monsters, and haunted by the very powers he steals, Malric must walk a brutal path through a world that has already turned its back on him.



But he's done begging.



If the gods won't give him justice, he'll carve it out himself.



A dark fantasy progression novel with system mechanics, soul-devouring, and a slow descent into monstrosity.
