Road to Mastery

Jack Rust was nearly done with his biology PhD when an extraterrestrial AI called the System invaded Earth, flooding it with aliens, magic, and violence. Jack hoped to at least gain some magic. He didn't. Instead the System dropped a forest dungeon and a goblin in his face. Armed only with his fists, Jack must survive hordes of monsters and find his way back to civilization. To his own surprise, violence suits him fine.

Jack is on the run from a B-Grade galactic empire and has one year to achieve the strength needed to save Earth. Accompanied by Brock the brave brorilla, he must cross hostile unknown space and reach Trial Planet — the galaxy's greatest training grounds — with nine planetary rings to conquer: giants, barbarians, space monsters, ancient trials, and cultivators. The only way out is forward.

Eight months remain before Earth's grace period expires, and Jack is nowhere near strong enough to defend it. To defeat the planetary overseer in time, he must kill his way to the top — alone in enemy territory, waging war against the Animal Kingdom while avoiding its Elders and hidden masters. Every day is a gamble. Every step is against the odds.

Jack has liberated his planet, but stronger forces command the universe. The Hand of God prepares for the Second Crusade and the Black Hole Church seeks to revive Enas, leader of the Old Gods. Jack and Brock join the Church to train with its elites — underleveled, underpowered, and determined to stand out on a wider cosmic stage.

Jack's animosity with the Animal Kingdom runs deep. Finally possessing the power to confront them, he launches an all-out war — one man against an entire faction. But a larger conflict brews across the universe as the Church resists the fearsome Immortals, and a single spark could detonate everything. Jack must also confront the darkness growing within himself.
