About

The gods can bless anyone whom they deem worthy... Anyone except for him. In a world of steamworks and sorcery, Liam is a void to magic, the very gods blind to him. Denied a chance to gain a Class, he has no way of gaining power beyond mortal means, leaving him to the mercy of men far crueler than any of the gods. Forced to survive on scraps in a city of rust and smoke, he is bound to a crime lord who owns his debt. Fail to pay, and he becomes a weapon for his captor, forced into jobs that will shatter his body and stain his soul. Then another outcast appears, a boy from another world with a power that offers a loophole in the divine rules: a way to force a connection to the System without a god's blessing. But when the System reaches for Liam, it finds only a void. The connection fails, yet it tangles their fates together. For Liam, a boy who sees a chain in every helping hand, this sudden reliance is a threat he cannot bear. He turns his back on his only ally, choosing the cold comfort of solitude. But some bonds aren't forged by magic, and the connection he rejected may be the only thing strong enough to carry him beyond a world too small to contain what he will become. Wounded. Then defiant. And finally ascendant. What to expect: • At least 2,000 words per chapter • 5 chapters a week • Weak to strong MC • A deep and immersive magic system • Deep world building • Slow burn, power isn't gained in a day
