Quest Academy

Brian J. Nordon

Quest Academy follows Salvatore Argento in a world pushed to the brink by an ever-evolving demonic invasion. Portals tear open, Towers burst into the skies and Dungeons infest the last safe havens. Quest Academy stands as humanity's school for Heroes, training the next generation to surpass those who came before. Salvatore has never seen a demon and never aspired to be a Hero, yet his rare abilities — Skill Master (copying and mastering any skill at its highest grade) and Mythcrafting (weaving mythic-grade equipment) — may tip the war. Across six volumes (2023-2026), Sal progresses from first-year Support-class underdog to top-ranked Savior, founding the Mythic Guild, crafting legendary gear, climbing Tower floors, and confronting the Bastion Loyalists' conspiracy. Originally self-published, the series holds 4.46-4.73 stars across 1,700-5,700 ratings per volume.
