Lord Dryk and all his followers were defeated centuries ago. Or so the white mages believed until the reincarnation of his very own mistress, Ramona and her campaign to resurrect the dark lord. Yet darkness could return without the promise of a savior. Wayne a mage born without the gift was shipped off to stay with his uncle Alard and his daughter Calley, another abomination to the line of magic, while his father goes off with the other mages to find the savior and bring an end to the campaign of Ramona. But in the rarest of times, when no one expected, Wayne’s gift awakened, not in the manner which everyone thought it would be, and no one sensed it except Alard, yet that wasn’t all, Calley also awakened the gift like every other mage in history attracting the eyes of both good and evil, forging the prophecy to take a form no one saw coming and with it, the beginning of a long-avoided war. *** “I am tired of waiting for saviors, Fifteen years they have searched and found nothing. My father risks his life on a prophecy that may be empty. And we sit here like sheep, praying some child will appear to save us.” “In the old tales, it was not only mages who broke Dyrk’s host at the Battle of Broken Chains. It was the swords of men, thousands of them held the line while the archmages sang their spells. Common steel bought the world its freedom when magic faltered. If this Ramona comes again, let her face more than spells. Let her face men who will not wait for miracles.” Alard studied him for a long moment, something unreadable moving behind his eyes. “And what would you have, nephew?” “Train me,” Wayne said.

13 Heavens: Rise of the Bloodline Dreg The Aura is back. And the world will never be the same. Three years ago, the Great Revival flooded Earth with cosmic energy. Cities turned into wild jungles. Skyscrapers were wrapped in massive, deadly plants. Legendary beasts roamed the streets of New York. And the only rule left? Power, the power to cultivate. Leo Kaelen was born with everything. A name from one of the five ancient bloodlines. A future full of promise. And now… he has nothing. “Bloodline Dreg,” they sneer. “Scavenger,” they call him. His family is disgraced. Their cultivation methods lost. And Leo is forced to survive in a city that wants him dead, fighting for scraps while monsters hunt him at every turn. Then, during a fight for his life in a long-forgotten ancient site, Leo discovers something that changes everything: a celestial system has awakened inside him. “You… you’re not ready for this,” the system warns. “I have no choice,” Leo snaps. This is the Path of the Perfect Foundation. Where others celebrate reaching the 11th level of cultivation, Leo is forced toward the unheard-of 13th. Where others build stable Foundations, he must forge a Chaos Foundation. Where others strengthen their skin to deflect knives, he must harden his to Diamond Hide. It’s a curse. And it’s the ultimate weapon. In a city ruled by ruthless families and crawling with primordial beasts, Leo must hide his impossible power. Every secret level he unlocks brings him closer to the truth behind the Aura Revival and closer to becoming the target of every force that wants to control the new world… or watch it burn. In a world of giants, the one with the deepest foundation will rise highest.
