Onyx Knight: Book 1

In modern-day Copenhagen, Henrik's life is a dead-end, defined by quiet grief and the care of his terminally ill mother. Powerless against fate, he is a ghost in his own life, haunted by a future he cannot change.

But when a fatal accident ends his story, a new one begins. He awakens in Alanmira, a world of epic magic and brutal politics governed by a tangible and unforgiving System. Reborn as Hein, the prophesied Onyx Knight, he is a stranger in a strange land with a new reality flashing before his eyes: he is Level 1.

The kingdom groans under the boot of King Alex, a paranoid Level 50 tyrant who murdered his way to the throne. This high-level usurper now watches as the System itself anoints a new player in the game for Alanmira's soul.

To survive, Hein must embrace the brutal rules of this new world. Every enemy slain grants experience. Every level gained unlocks devastating new skills and the strength to face greater horrors. Guided by a powerful dragon and his own gamer's intuition, Hein must grind his way up from nothing, systematically clearing out the land's monsters and corrupt forces to gain the power he needs.

As his level rises, his legend grows, drawing allies from the shadows... a runaway princess, disenfranchised knights, and cunning court insiders... who see the System working through him. "The Onyx Knight" is the story of a man stripped of his world, only to find his destiny in another where power is absolute, and he must master the System that defines reality to challenge the man who sits at its apex.
