Duskbound

Velik was changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand. Now he’s something else—faster, deadlier, and armed with a unique class built for one thing: hunting monsters. For ten years, he’s braved the frontier alone, cutting down every beast that threatens the border towns. With each kill, he’s grown stronger, gaining levels and sharpening his skills on the thousands of monsters infesting the wild lands.

Velik left the frontier behind after finally destroying the source of the endless monsters that plagued it. But life in the Monster Hunters Guild isn’t the fresh start he imagined. People and politics bring a different set of challenges—and Velik has never been good at playing by the rules.

As Velik searches for new clues to unravel the mystery of the dungeon seeds, a divine beast stalks his path. Its mere presence violates the Compact between the gods, drawing them into the conflict and escalating it to the point where humanity’s existence is threatened. With Velik empowered to act as their champion, he prepares to make war on the unconquerable: a deadly cabal of undefeated immortals who’ve ruled the world beyond the system’s reach for thousands of years. What secrets do they hold?
