They stole his magic. They threw him in the abyss to die. They miscalculated.
Silas Vance was a prodigy of the Aetherium Spire Academy, destined for greatness—until the high nobility decided his flawless magical core would look better inside someone else’s chest.
Betrayed by his fiancée and gutted by his rival, Silas is banished to the Sunken Oubliette, a subterranean hellhole filled with mutated beasts and forgotten horrors. Bleeding out and stripped of his magic, his death is a mathematical certainty.
Until the Abyss answers his hatred.

Bound to a primordial system that demands blood as currency, Silas trades his humanity for a terrifying new power: The Sanguine Root. Now, he must hunt monsters in the dark, harvest their essence, and level up to pay off his mounting debt to the Ledger.
But Silas doesn’t just want to survive. He wants to balance the books. And the Spire owes him a debt that can only be paid in blood.
The Abyssal Warden is a gritty, fast-paced Dark Progression Fantasy LitRPG. Expect brutal dungeon crawling, ruthless anti-hero progression, detailed stat sheets, and a weak-to-strong arc that pulls no punches.
Disclaimer: This book contains graphic violence, dark themes, and a protagonist who abandons traditional morality to survive. No harem.
