Full Murderhobo

Luke, an apprentice leather worker, and his friends Andre, Taylor, and Zed, face a grim future in the Hollow Kingdom. A Royal Decree mandates testing for ‘Potential’ in all seventeen-year-olds, prompted by the invading Dynasty of Dogs and emergent monsters. Those with Potential join the renowned Ascender Corps; others are forced into the Legion.

Three friends are powerful Ascenders, but Luke barely registers his own Potential. As he steps into the portal for training, he’s pulled to an impossible plane, alone and without a trainer. With survival unlikely, Luke decides his humanity won’t help him. To live, he must embrace the monstrous reality, going Full Murderhobo. Trapped between worlds, his only escape lies in absolute ruthlessness.

Luke, a straightforward man focused on leveling, fighting, and efficiency, and his team, The Four, have just saved a kingdom, making it wealthy and powerful. Instead of a hero's welcome, their fame brings a hefty price on their heads. Fleeing political machinations, assassins, and unwanted marriage proposals, they are forced to confront an ever-expanding desert and a centuries-old curse. The team seeks to harness their immense power to carve out a comfortable home in this harsh new reality. However, nature resists interference, and attempting to reshape the world could lead to unpredictable and dangerous consequences.

As the Dynasty sends troops, seizing abundant Potentia, everything is up for grabs. Andre the Druid’s perfect healing of the Scarroco Desert inadvertently reignites the supermassive Dynasty’s interest in the Hollow Kingdom’s resources. No longer content to leave The Four in exile, the King recalls these Ascenders to the Palace. But before new orders can be given, the Dynasty steals something precious from him. The King, knowing this is a fool’s errand, dispatches his four disposable Ascenders, promising freedom and luxury for success, or death for failure.

Among them is Luke the Murderhobo, an Ascender who thrives on combat, previously jumping from portal to "Murder World" for a fight. Now, as his team navigates the front lines of the invasion, Luke believes this is his ultimate chance to shine, facing monsters, rival Ascenders, assassins, and far worse. Survival is his only option.
