The Absorption Cycle

COMPLETE TRILOGY BOX SETThe Absorption Cycle is a progression fantasy trilogy set in a world eight months after the System arrived and rewrote the rules of human survival. When the System colonized Earth and assigned every human a Class, most people got something useful. Warrior. Mage. Scout. Healer. The infrastructure of a new world, distributed across the population like a deck of cards. Mace Duren got [PARASITE]. No offensive skills. No defensive skills. No Guild will register him, no party will take him, and the System's own projection for his future is approximately nothing. By every metric the new world has invented to measure human worth, Mace is worthless. He disagrees. What follows is the story of a man who treats survival as a science — who takes the one thing his class can do and runs it further than anyone thought possible, floor by floor, wound by wound, absorbing everything the world throws at him and refusing to stop. The Guilds want him captured. The people who built the System want him dead. The Tower itself seems to want something else entirely. The Absorption Cycle is about what happens when the thing everyone counted out turns out to be the only thing that can't be stopped. Not because it's the strongest. Because it never stops learning.
