Wolf of the Blood Moon
Shane Purdy
Two centuries after the first Demonic Assault shattered the skies and filled the world with Fractures, humanity survives under the Terran Republic, where those caught in a Fracture may sign a spirit contract and become Guardians. Scarlet, a girl from a lower-tier city seeking a capital university, is caught in a Fracture and instead awakens her dormant bloodline as a noble demon - a Blood Lycan. Across six volumes she rises from new Guardian through Association missions, Guardian University and its ranking tournaments, the Class V Fracture world of Tartarus, the full-scale human-demon war, the Fae Tournament to decide the Fae ruler, and finally the universe-ending Void Invasion.
Progression: Explicit LitRPG Guardian advancement ladder, verified via Goodreads per-volume blurbs and series subtitles ('A Blood Magic Lycanthrope LitRPG' on books 2-6): (1) humans inside Fractures sign spirit contracts to become Guardians, gaining power, fame and fortune; (2) Scarlet awakens a dormant noble-demon Blood Lycan bloodline, advancing her half-demon nature across volumes; (3) ranked Fracture classes (Class V Fracture of Tartarus) gate power milestones; (4) Guardian University training plus year-long ranking tournaments provide measurable rank progression; (5) tiered cities (lower-tier origins vs Republic capital) and Association membership mark social advancement; (6) late-series scaling through the human-demon war, the Fae Tournament for the Fae rulership, and the universe-level Void Invasion. Weak-to-strong growth is the central arc of every volume.
