The Infinite Spear
Marc Mulero
A Sci-Fi Progression Fantasy adventure incorporating ancient mythological deities, very shiny weapons, fighting, and more fighting. Slip is a lone cyborg digging through scraps after the Sci-gods dropped a bomb that reduced his home to waste and his family to dust. When a rebel assassin stalks him to unlock the untapped potential hidden deep within — his unique connection to the A.I. in his head — Slip discovers the power of ancient gods is programmed within him. He enters an arena to fight for deity-bestowed upgrades, seeking revenge against the Sci-gods and unlocking increasingly powerful ancient-god abilities. Originally a Royal Road webserial (The Infinite Spear: A Sci-fi Progression Fantasy, 62k+ views), now published as Broken Tech Book 1, with sequel The Cosmic Blade continuing the cyborg-and-god progression as Slip must unite with his patron to save the universe.
Progression: Sci-Fi Progression Fantasy with explicit deity-bestowed upgrade ladder and arena ranking. Core progression is programmed ancient-god power within a cyborg host: Slip's A.I. connection unlocks quantified upgrades bestowed by mythological deities (very shiny weapons, god-tier abilities). Advancement is gated through arena combat and rebel-assassin mentorship, where each victory grants a new tier of god-programmed upgrade. Book 1 establishes the bomb-waste origin and initial A.I. unlock + arena entry for revenge against the Sci-gods; Book 2 (The Cosmic Blade) escalates to Cyborg and god must unite — Time to select advanced upgrades to save the universe, confirming multi-tier god-ability progression. Royal Road tags and Goodreads series 'Broken Tech' explicitly market progression fantasy, and Amazon description confirms 'ancient deity-bestowed upgrades' as central structured ladder.
