Path of the Slayer

They laughed when Arden got stuck at Rank 0. For four soul-crushing years, his Rank 0 Epiphany remained locked at 99% as his dreams faded and his health collapsed. On one final quest — a simple goblin extermination in the city's sewers — Arden discovers a rare Hell Portal: the only path to unlock his true potential. Beyond lies limitless power, many unique paths, and realms stretching far past the borders of his empire. In this System, there can only be one Slayer.

Arden shouldn't be this strong. His Path Energy reads low, but his power keeps rising — and so does the danger. His defiance of tradition and unbreakable will are beginning to shake the foundations of the Realm Verse System. With his companions Thumper and Merlin, Arden plans to challenge the ruling noble Pathwalkers and break into the Grand Generational Passing. But leveling up means diving into deadly Realms and surviving high-stakes games at the Crossroads Citadel World — and if his ambition draws the eye of the Dragon Supremacy's most favored scion, it won't just be his life on the line.

Who is Arden the Nomad? And why is he so powerful? The nobles are deadly curious about this unfamiliar man from a fringed corner of the Realm Verse — a slap to the aristocracy while being backed by figures of royal prominence, placing him at the heart of Pathwalker society. Arden is relying more on instinct than plan, breaking through obstacles as fast as possible while time runs out. Revenge on a powerful Pathwalker group that can corrupt System Parameters. A fabled library city with secrets on advancing his energy. The Grand Generational Passing itself. Once his secret gets out, the High Gods and Primordials will want him put down.

After many trials, Arden the Nomad and his friends have made it to the Grand Generational Passing — but it's not what they expected. The Primordials have failed to produce Pathwalkers who can rise above the Realm Verse System, and the Multiverse Admin herself is urging the best young Pathwalkers into a high-stakes game. The Patheaters from the other side of the System are involved — and they're hungry. Arden and his friends must race through the levels and the games of the Grand Generational Passing, facing power beyond anything even the strongest Slayer can imagine.
