New World’s Gear

Book excerpt: Atlas is no ordinary planetary system. For decades, it has been kept free of villainy by a pantheon of deities. Heroic individuals who changed life for the better are literally immortalised; through the power of the mysterious metal known as divinite. They are gifted with powers and undying bodies sustained by the faith of mortals. These deities thought themselves invincible. And they were, until twelve-years-ago when the Stygir first appeared. This cryptic warrior race waged the most devastating war Atlas had seen. And the solution now threatens to breed conflict between the system’s four races. Bob Solis is an ordinary human boy in this chaotic epoch. Having spent his entire life in a shelter, he wants to be seen as something other than a liability. When a program opens to recruit new possible deities, he seizes this chance to be one who protects instead of one who is protected. He has no idea that during his training, a series of events will lead to him embark on the most dangerous venture of his life. In this new world of conflict, tension and scheming, a boy must become a warrior, or watch his system suffer a fate worse than anything he could imagine...
