Synopsis
Do you want to become a Master of the Sword in a fraction of the time? Or perhaps become a renowned Blacksmith, known throughout Kingdoms for blades that could pierce through armor in but a few months. Maybe a Sorcerer, who’s words strike fear into the hearts of men.
All of this is possible with the Teachers. Knowledge passed down from Masters of a craft which is used by the Awakened to solidify justice and order in the Kingdoms of Acrylis.
Teachers can be found anywhere, in the Dungeons beneath the earth or in the endless sky above, and it is up to the Awakened to find and harness the power of these Teachers in a ceremony called receiving a Teaching.
However, the minds of men are fragile so humanity can only be subjected to so much Knowledge before their minds collapse. This ensures that only the Awakened who can survive the most Teachings become the Kings of Kingdoms.
Arden, a scion of one of the Houses of the Kingdom Aortia dreams of becoming one of the legendary Peerless of myths, the ones above even the Kings and ensure that the balance of Acrylis is kept in check.
However, when he becomes one of the Awakened and discovers he can only survive one Teaching, he is shunned by those he had called family and disowned.
Thinking his future over, he becomes a Teachingless Adventurer, those who explore dungeons and the like.
A stroke of luck is all that is needed to keep an insignificant pawn in the game.
Join Arden and unexpected allies as he adventures beyond the Kingdom of Aortia in an attempt to prove the world wrong.
Path of the Peerless is a Progression Fantasy which contains some cultivation and LitRPG elements though not entirely.
