The Sworn Sword

Kidnapped and forced into a game-world, a nameless prisoner is assigned the Farmer class — bottom-tier stats, no weapons, no future. But while his strength and stamina climb, something forbidden grows alongside them: magic, in a world where casting means execution. His display reads Assassin. The System knows Mage. Every spell brings him closer to discovery, and if the elves find out what he really is, he's dead. But if he can stay hidden long enough to master his power, he might do more than just survive.

After rescuing Prince Thal from certain death, Aeryn becomes one of his few trusted servants — his blade in the night, his sworn assassin. Tasked with riding through the shattered kingdom to rally support and eliminate threats, Aeryn must rely on blade, poison, and a weapon no one knows he possesses: magic. But Veylan's loyal nobles aren't the only danger. A force darker than Veylan himself awaits in the elven forests — a creature who plays with death and can enter dreams.

Tricked into being the final piece of a blood sacrifice, Aeryn has released a Mad Mage from the bowels of hell. Though he survived, he only lives to pay the price. Thal's city stands, but his kingdom is shattered. And while the nobles bicker and backstab, the ancient Titans — the overpowered players who once leveled cities and made mountains burn — are returning. Nothing will stand in their path. Nothing but a lone Assassin who is out of lies and out of places to hide.
