Kailen Darkhaven had a simple, happy life growing up.
But when a sudden misfortune claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener.

By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened.

Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe.

For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him.

With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again.
In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him.

He will shatter every perception of strength.
He will seize control of his fate.
He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe!

Disclaimer:

This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental.

This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show.

If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. 

Note for Readers (Please do not skip):

Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning.
 As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities.

The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own.
