Update: So, Amazon thought it would be funny if all searches for pygilist got redirected to "piglet". Yes, not pygilist, not pugilist, but piglet. So we're going to change the series name. The new series title will be 'The Centennial Dungeon: Pygilist'. It might take up to a day for the change to reflect. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope you're all having a great start to the year! I’ve been writing Pygilist for a little more than a year here, and I’m very excited to present to you the polished and published version of Scorched Earth, the first book in the series.
Thank you all for your continued support. I'd really appreciate it if any of you feel like leaving behind reviews on Amazon. It would help the growth of the book a lot.

I started Pygilist with the hopes of crafting an action-filled story against the backdrop of an intriguing political plot. The story continued to evolve as I expanded the world and added lore exploring the intricacies of a world advanced in both magic and technology.
I’ve always loved deadly competitions in stories, and my main influences were Yu Yu Hakusho, Shaman King, and Law of Ueki. These three were some of the first anime I watched growing up, and they shaped my tastes a lot.
Just like my main character, my childhood revolved around various combat sports. Between competitive tourneys, I read books and comics of all sorts. I always had daydreams of going to other worlds and getting involved in some adventures. I’m sure many of us have had those. I’m a grown man now, and I still haven’t gotten out of that habit. Mainly because I feel at home while indulging in such stories. I even dabbled for a bit in writing another genre, but it didn’t click. My mind always came back to fantasy. And now, here we are. I guess I’m home?

The audiobook is narrated by Vikas Adam, and he has done a phenomenal job on it.
Blurb:
100 artifacts, 100 people, countless monsters, one dungeon, and only one Centurion...
Every century, the dungeon awakens and drags people from different worlds into a fight for their survival. Parth, a pro boxer, is one of the summoned hundred, displaced by the dungeon’s latest awakening.
After achieving the highest synchronization rate on record with a powerful magical artifact, he is thrust into the dungeon with a team of other isekai'd artifact wielders. He will fight men, beasts, and monsters, seeing just how far he can go.
But only one can win it all and become the era's Centurion. In his old life, Parth suffered a string of losses, the tragic deaths of his parents compounding his downward spiral. But transported to this new world and given the incredible opportunity to wield power beyond his imagination, he'll accept nothing less than victory.
Parth will win it all or die trying.
