At age 20, everyone dies. Unless you were born a noble, the wasting disease allows for no exceptions. At 19, Matt is facing the end of his life. Determined to lend his final days purpose, he signs up to fight in a pointless war–at least his death can earn his family a few extra coin. But when he and a few of his comrades stumble into a place lost to time, they abruptly find the wasting disease cured. Not to mention, they can all suddenly wield ancient magic abilities. Matt and his friends now have the ability to give power back to the lowborn, to seize the lives which should rightfully have been theirs from the start. But the nobles will stop at nothing to prevent the secret from getting out, and if their Sanctuary is discovered, their rebellion could end before it even begins. Join Matt in his quest to forge a beacon of hope in a bleak world, confronting ancient powers determined to maintain the relentless cycle of death. Set against a somber world that has forgotten how to live, this is a tale that weaves a dash of city-building with a splash of magic. Blending LitRPG Progression and Cultivation, follow Matt and his friends as they rise to become the Champions the world has waited for.
