Rogue Ascension

With no warning and no tutorial, eighteen-year-old Joey Eclipse is snatched from Earth and thrust into a stone room with cryptic system prompts: [Adventurer or Commoner?] [Greatness or Steadiness?] Joey chooses the path of a Great Adventurer — a limited and special category — and is given a unique profile built around shadow, necromancy, and dragon magic. In a new realm of endless possibilities and vicious monsters, Joey can't help but smile and go all in. Welcome to Multiverse Z.

Joey offers a time-sensitive quest at the adventurer hub — a 'catch me if you can' manhunt with himself as the target, broadcast across his new home realm to draw the best adventurers together for a boss raid. As bounty hunters pursue, Joey and his friends race north to investigate a mysterious operation at a ruined temple containing clues involving devils and dungeons that nobody has solved in thousands of years. This could further level up his overpowered profile of shadow, necromancy, and dragon magic.

The first dungeon pocket world discovered in two thousand years is perfect for Joey's profile to level up faster. Bounty hunters and millions of dungeon network viewers follow as he solos the entire dungeon. But Joey is developing something new through intense meditation: a cultivation core. He unlocks the multiverse secrets for a second magic system that works with his profile, with help from a mysterious mentor named Michael Zhou — a friendly guy who loves to cook, teach magic science, and stop time with a snap of his fingers.

Joey Eclipse is now the first Dungeon Master of his entire realm, able to instantly swap enchanted weapons from his dungeon inventory dimension. His shadow, necromancy, dragon magic, and cultivation of fate are far too overpowered for any average beginner to face. But there's a grand prize of 25 Multiverse Gold Coins on his bounty — and two weeks for someone to win it by capturing or killing him. Can the Sword Saint, the Unstoppable Six, or an army of ten thousand adventurers finally beat the greatest beginner in the realm?

Joey Eclipse is the #1 Beginner with a list of achievements that's hard to believe. But he's way too overpowered to stay in a Lesser Realm and keeps refusing his First Ascension to accomplish his remaining goals: learning a magical crafting ability, training his Renegades, and sorting things out with War Princess Maylolee Suzuki. Too bad Joey's refusal to ascend dooms the Lesser Realm to suffer attacks from buffed-up monsters — like an Epic Dread Whale two realms of power greater than him.

Joey Eclipse had the best First Ascension anyone at Level 100 could hope for — and then married the War Siren Princess. His system-blessed marriage with Maylolee grants both of them beneficial cheat powers and the ability to level up together far faster than anyone else. With legendary weapons, rare dungeons, and supercharged powers over shadow, necromancy, dragon magic, and chaos cultivation, it seemed like nothing could stop him — until he and his wife end up in a hellish death-trap universe filled with monsters in the Level 200s.

Following the events of Book 6, Joey and Maylolee grind up their levels and grow stronger in a new realm, working to survive its harsh nature and set up a safe base for their friends and followers. The story features stats, levels, achievements, master quests, exploration, unique crafting elements, and a wide-ranging multiverse adventure.

No Oasis City is one of the few bastions of civilization in Beautiful Hell — and a playground for Joey and Maylolee Eclipse, obviously the most powerful duo there. During the day they take on crime and corruption; at night they delve deep into underground caverns and practice their breadth of powers. Then the city turns against them. Joey and Maylolee must unearth secret lairs and dungeons, face the last demons of Beautiful Hell, and push beyond their limits to advance their cultivation to the next tier — concluding the Beautiful Hell Arc.
