Path of the Berserker
Rick Scott
When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and the moon turned red and filled the world with monsters. Over a decade later, humanity slaves under the Qi-infused Dynasty. Max, a Terran tired of serving, is found by a fearsome, angry goddess who shows him a different path — not Qi, but the power of blood, rage, and pain. Through the hidden Berserker art, he cultivates an alternative progression to challenge the 14,000-year-old intergalactic cultivation empire. Spanning the Core Realm, Sacred Soul Realm and beyond, with Terran Sects, the Legionnaire's Academy of Du Gok Bhong, Hell Worlds and Cursed Stars, the series is a western-style cultivation / post-apocalypse progression fantasy (5 books, 2023-2025, 4.39-4.66 Goodreads). Each volume escalates from Earth's resistance to interstellar academy trials, Hell World survival, and eldritch demon wars, all driven by rage-fueled martial cultivation.
