About this listen
Unleash the Light in "Ascendant of Shadows: Hero of Light"
Nathan's ordinary life is upended when he's abruptly transported from his modern world into Elarion, a realm where magic thrives and darkness looms. Guided by a mysterious voice, he discovers newfound magical abilities and sets out for the capital city of Arkanis, seeking answers and a way to cleanse the creeping darkness threatening to consume him.
Along his journey, Nathan forms unbreakable bonds with Dorian, a courageous stonemason's son; Lyriel, a High Elf mage with untamed powers; Selene, a Dark Elf sorceress entwined with his fate; and Thistlewing, a young Fae boy harboring secrets of his own. Together, they face treacherous forests, sinister agents of the Dark One, and internal struggles that test their unity and resolve.
Will Nathan rise as the beacon of hope Elarion desperately needs, or will the encroaching darkness claim him?
"Ascendant of Shadows: Hero of Light" is a thrilling epic fantasy filled with magic, ancient prophecies, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness. Join Nathan on his journey of self-discovery, where bonds are forged in trials, and the fate of a realm hinges on the choices of one man.
Embark on this epic adventure and witness the rise of a legend!

Yet, with about ninety percent of the Universe's population turned into monsters, there was no time to grieve. You fight, or you die, and Leo doesn't plan on giving up now. He has to push forward and find what is left of his family. If that means sacrificing what is left of his humanity and embracing his new reality where a mysterious System is his only true ally, then so be it.

I have been reborn from an advanced techno-magic world into a world where magic is still in its infancy. In this new world I have the body of a young baron and my entire worldly possessions are one village—a village surrounded by monsters and hostile aristocrats on the fringes of a young, rapidly expanding empire. The other thing I have, though, is knowledge beyond what this world has dreamt of, and nothing will stop me from building my own magic empire!

In my past life, I heeded the Blood Code: I rescued people, slaying monsters from the inner plane. For my trouble the Inquisition condemned me for blood lust and burned me at the stake. And in my current life my family is dishonored in the eyes of the emperor, there's a bounty on my head, and I'm the subject of a divine dispute. Well then, no better time than now to surprise them all. Give me but a drop of blood—and the hunter will become the prey.

Someone once asked: What is stronger? Martial arts or Magic? I answered: Why not simply use both? In a new world brimming with possibilities—Levels, Classes, Skills, Dungeons, and Monsters—I found myself reborn as a noble family’s troublemaker son. As a gamer, a magical world and a lazy life as a rich noble's son should have been a dream come true. But there was a massive catch. An absurd quest threw everything into chaos.

Imagine you find yourself in a world that prizes martial arts above all else, and that I am the descendant of an ancient clan who have honed their skill from generation to generation to rise to the ranks of the most powerful . . . Bet you're surprised, right? The thing is, most of my teachers say I'm a hopeless, talentless loser. No big deal, at first glance at least. I can survive just fine without talent. There's just one catch—I'm already dead. Or am I?
