The price of freedom is paid in blood.

Adam has achieved the impossible – he defied Ciro, the Emperor of the World, and lived to tell the tale. The city of Penumbria has established itself as an independent authority, separate from the Empire.

But its future is still in doubt. Emperor Ciro isn’t going to take this offense lying down. In preparation for the next inevitable war, Adam, Tenver, Solara, and their allies decide to ally with the Hidden Village of the Elves. They travel to the village in secret, fully intending to conduct peaceful negotiations.

Things…escalate from there.

Death. Duels. Destruction. Lives lost, cities destroyed, and an entire world made to tremble. Faced with enemies that Adam can no longer avoid, he is forced to ask one simple, all-important question:

Book 3 in this Isekai LitRPG adventure from KamikazePotato, the bestselling author of An Outcast in Another World, together with Rafael Kalleen.

About the Series: Join Adam in this weak-to-strong progression fantasy where victories are difficult but earned. The plot has consistent forward momentum, and the story’s cast of characters is fully fleshed-out, each with their own struggles. Fight scenes are high-octane brawls that involve creative applications of Adam’s abilities.
