Ascendant Codex: Rise of the Forbidden Gene

In a world ruled by genes, he awakened nothing.

No power. No beast. No future.



Branded as a genetic failure and exiled to the Slum Sectors, seventeen-year-old Raen Virell was supposed to fade into obscurity. Until the day his blood activated something the world had long erased from existence—a Codex that predates the System itself.



Now hunted by ancient clans, forbidden by the World Gene Council, and stalked by the Devourers beyond the sky, Raen must grow stronger… without anyone ever knowing he exists.



Because the Codex doesn’t just defy logic.

It rewrites it.



With a soul-bound beast that evolves beyond life, and a system interface that learns and adapts, Raen walks the tightrope between extinction and godhood. Every step forward brings him closer to uncovering the truth behind the Great Collapse, the lost Bloodlines of Origin, and the real reason the world fears what he has become:



The first true Ascendant in a thousand years.



Beasts will roar. Blood will burn. Gods will kneel… or be devoured.
