Granted the power of the Deep Stone, Mav has become too valuable for life as a slave but too dangerous to be left unchained. Mav was your typical brainwashed slave, happy to toil so others could peacefully live their lives on the surface far above his head. His bread was good, there was meat in his soup, and he had a place to rest his head. What more could he ask for? Until the system gave him an unexpected gift that stole his peaceful life. An unheard of prestige class that couldn't be overlooked! Now held by a man without true ambition. A 'former slave' dragged out of the ground and put to work elsewhere. From mines, to dungeons, to the battlefield. He finds himself bounced around as he chases freedom, too dangerous to let go but too useful to not be put to work. As his world continues to be turned upside down, Mav realizes something. Maybe his more-than-two-decades of labor weren't quite as noble as he was raised to believe. Maybe... Maybe his people were being trained like dogs to willingly submit and be used by the empire his people built. "The deep stone… It suits me. Gods above, it made me. Now, it will unmake them." ▰▰▰▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▰ Post-synopsis "what to expect" section? Simple. The story follows a mid-30s male non-human MC who becomes extremely strong and decides he doesn't like the feel of chains. No serious romance, small chunks of slice-of-life, but primarily a momentum-driven progression story that evolves from punching monsters to toppling a kingdom. This story is mostly pre-planned, will be roughly 6 books long when finished (est. 800k words), and [unless the gods stop me] should be posting daily until it finishes. Assuming, fingers crossed, I don't end up hospitalized or stuck on the streets.
