Branded with a divine mark considered useless for combat, Alex Roth flees to the prestigious University of Generasi to master wizardry by turning his Mark's limitations into an unstoppable advantage.

J.M. Clarke & C.J. Thompson
Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the floating sky-island of Fallen Reach. Everyone is born with sun-powered magic channeled through tattoos, but Hiral alone cannot channel it despite relentless training and study. In a moment of danger he unlocks an Achievement — [Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward] — his first and perhaps last chance for real power. The dungeons lie in the wilderness below the flying islands humanity inhabits, where fallen civilizations, strange monsters and deadly secrets await. Joined by friends and party members, Hiral descends, survives, and begins forging his own path to power. The series follows his weak-to-strong ascent across apocalyptic battles, ancient Fallen enemies, and world-ending threats like the Raze and the Enemy.
