About

Nothing will ever change. Unless he changes it.   Matthias Stonebreaker is tormented every day. He has no talent for The Gift of magic or the Enforcement of life energy, and will one day be forced over the frontier, where ferocious monsters destroy all those who can't defend themselves. And he certainly can't, until a near-death experience awakens a new path to power. The path of Divine Breath. Now he must learn how to cultivate the very energy of the gods to steal their divine strength. Supported by his cursed brother and younger sister, he will walk the path of shadow and death itself. But he must be careful, for in this world... ...even death could die. ***** Welcome to my next novel series, after Mark of the Fool, Ogre's Pendant and Rune Seeker. I hope you enjoy my next story. This is a progression fantasy with power systems heavily inspired by cultivation with its own unique twists. I love murim stories and there's some love letters to those in this series.  *** Rating: This story is kind of like a hard PG-13 movie. There'll be gore, detailed fights and injuries, with some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you.  Tone: Tone will be an action-adventure story, with emphasis on training, mystery, cultivation, martial arts, and mystical elements.  There will be slice of life sections as well. There will be mentions of war, death, grief and violence. MC: MC is tough, driven and emphasizes willpower with some analytical elements. He will be mostly in control of his emotions, with some exceptions. MC starts weak, will progress in power, becoming very strong and gains power quickly. He's giant-blooded so he will blend strategy, strength and crushing power, stealth and magic. Fights: Fights will be detailed. *** Stuff this story won't have: - Extreme grimdark content - Murderhobo plots - Edgy, anti-hero MC  - Pacifist MC - Harems
