Wolfpack

Takemi wakes in a battlefield triage tent — bloody, battered, and with no memory of his name, his past, or what happened to him. The battle is not over, and the enemy is not content with victory alone. In an ether-ravaged post-apocalyptic world cast back into the dark ages, feudal lords fight for control over land and resources. Takemi must escape with friends who defy their cowardly commanders — in a world where mental constructs called mind palaces grant cultivators game-like perks and near-superhuman abilities.

Takemi has survived a near-fatal battlefield injury only to be thrown back into the meatgrinder — facing brigands, beasts, scheming nobles, and a rigged tribunal. His bond with ether has helped piece his fractured mind back together, revealing glimpses of a life lost and a rift forming from the ether convergence. Now under the protection of the Protectorate and bound for the Melee of Kings — an ether-rich swamp ripe for conquest — Takemi begins to understand that knowledge might be the greatest power of all. His real name is Kenji Nakamura, and he is a survivor.
