[UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION]
They broke his world. Now, he’s going to break their System.
Kael was an apprentice Glass-Smith, content with a quiet life in the subterranean city of Oakhaven. But when the Empire descends to purge his district, Kael is stripped of everything and thrown into the Gorgon’s Gullet—a brutal prison where the only way out is to draw a card from the Mother Geode and fight.
In a system where Gold Cards grant godhood and Iron Cards grant strength, Kael draws the ultimate dud: The Null Shard.
It has zero stats. It has zero mana. It is trash.
But Kael discovers a hidden mechanic the System ignored. His card doesn't generate power—it hunts for it. It can shatter spells, devour mana, and steal the abilities of those foolish enough to attack him.
Bound to a shadow-companion born of the void and armed with a smith’s knowledge of structure, Kael must bluff, craft, and devour his way through a tournament of killers.
But the prison is just the beginning. Beneath the earth, ancient Titans are waking up. The Empire wants to enslave them. The monsters want to eat them.
Kael? He just wants to level up enough to make them all pay.
Don't miss the start of this Epic LitRPG Series! Shard of Glass features a unique Deckbuilding magic system, deep Crafting mechanics, Base Building, and a Weak-to-Strong protagonist who uses his brain as much as his blade.
Genre: Science Fiction
