Savage Dominion
Luke Chmilenko & G.D. Penman
Dying on a date gone wrong turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to Maulkin: reborn in the wild world of Amaranth in a hulking demi-human body, he is Marked as an Eternal — a fledgling immortal of boundless potential — with a mission from the elder pantheon: grow stronger, ascend to godhood, spread chaos, and fend off the inbound apocalypse. A LitRPG collaboration between Luke Chmilenko and G.D. Penman spanning dungeon delves, shard hunts, primordial dragons, and a final confrontation with the Voidgod Araphel.
Progression: Explicit Eternal ascension ladder: the dead reborn in Amaranth as Eternals — fledgling immortals of boundless potential — under a divine mandate to grow stronger and ascend to godhood. Advancement runs through LitRPG mechanics (experience gain, levelling up, learning new skills and abilities, customizable character growth system per reader reviews), dungeon delving and monster slaying, shard collection gating the evil god's return, and Voidgod powers Maulkin must master. Each volume marks a rung from fresh Eternal to god-slayer capable of putting down Araphel where the gods failed.
