Chained Awakening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839196850)

The world of Vereden was broken long ago.

The introduction of the System came at a time of warring Gods and shattered planets, only for the System to shatter as well. That which was meant to raise men to divinity, instead cast them ever deeper into conflict through its imperfect nature. And yet, that era of ceaseless war is long past. The people have adapted to Statuses, Levels, and Skills.

Unfortunately, so have the Kingdoms.

Millenia past the Initialization Wars, Nathan Hart finds himself suddenly stranded in an unfamiliar forest, in an unfamiliar country, on an unfamiliar planet. Captured and sold as a slave nearly from the moment of his arrival, Nathan is told he is a 'Precursor'. Granted odd and unusual powers, Nathan is meant to stride as a titan among men, for a mysterious purpose. How, though, can he ever make his mark on this strange new world with a collar around his neck?

He would have to escape, first.
