The Greatest Heretic
(2025)(The first book in the Greatest Heretic: Portal & Dark Progression Fantasy series)
A novel by Mortykay
Dark Cultivation • Progression Fantasy • Portal Fantasy
Astar mastered competition in the real world. But now, the rules have changed.
The thrill of the fight, the drive to conquer obstacles, the hunger to rise above—these obsessions push him from orphan to entrepreneur. He builds an empire and climbs to the top, but the higher he rises, the more disconnected he feels, as if living someone else’s life. Selling his company isn’t just a step toward freedom—it’s a final bid to uncover who he truly is. For the first time, freedom and purpose seem within reach.
But fate doesn’t let go so easily.
Just as his dreams sharpen into focus, the world begins to fracture. Whispers slither into his thoughts, visions strike without warning, and reality slips through his grasp. What starts as a night of triumph descends into a nightmare that shreds everything he knows.
Astar wakes in a realm twisted by terror, monsters, and cruelty. His old life vanishes in an instant, replaced by brutal laws, ancient horrors, and a hunger for survival that makes even his worst days look tame.
Here, where spirit realms clash and ancestral clans dominate, Astar battles through trials that tear past the limits of human logic. But the most terrifying truth lies buried in this world’s secrets—answers about his bloodline and a legacy darker than he imagined.
Can he survive long enough to uncover who he really is?
Or does an Ancestor’s forgotten will already shape his path?
For readers who enjoy dark cultivation, cursed realms, and characters who fight through pain rather than prophecy.
Genre: GameLit
