The Nullari
Book 1

May HE attain glory.
May HE make HIS legacy.
The Deorcrat Empire is colonizing the stars, claiming dominion over habitable worlds for their resources. Mana-wielding elites rule at the pinnacle of society.

Twenty-year-old Leon is a Nullari. He is unaugmented, abandoned by his parents at a young age, and burdened with their debt.

All he wants is a way out. A future of his own. But the Empire only values what it can use.
At rock bottom, he faces two choices: serve in the Imperial Army… or rot in the Empire’s lowest levels.

Service offers rank, pay, and pardon. Survival is not guaranteed. Leon is pushed beyond human limits, where failure means death and only the useful are allowed to rise.

As he fights to survive, something awakens within him—power the Empire never intended him to possess. Each progress pulls him deeper into a system built on blood, and every step forward costs more than he expected.
