First Fist

Once a soldier, now an outcast. Luca must overcome fate as he walks the path of a cultivator, seeking the Seventh Bridge to the Heavens. After every Elixir of Awakening failed to rouse his dormant core, Luca relinquished his dreams of fighting — only for even his hopes of returning home to be torn away. A clash with a monk who wields all elements forces him to question everything he knows. Exiled and newly empowered, Luca must gather allies, battle Mana Beasts, and ascend his core as quickly as possible, for enemies are already rising from the distant reaches of Andaya.

After defending hearth and home, Luca and his disciples have established a foothold — but the Skalds remain a threat, and the Wylish folk face a brutal winter. Luca has shouldered a monstrous burden: raising the nascent Jackal Sect to a position of power among seven rival sects in Andaya. His followers lack resources, manpower, and time. Their deity is young and her powers limited. The Chaos Monks will not let the theft of the Divinity Scroll go unchallenged. Luca has no choice but to push deeper into the island's interior — where priceless reagents, potential allies, and the power he desperately needs await.
