Dark Cultivation: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG
Avery Stevenson - 2019
Elliot is transported to Eden because he's their last hope: A man filled with a power not seen in centuries. He has the rare ability to learn talents from all talent trees, not just one. Only he's not the man everyone thinks he is. Downtrodden his entire life, he's been harboring dark desires deep inside him for years. And now he's finally been given the opportunity to live them. Instead of a hero's journey, Elliot is about to embark on the ultimate villain's journey. Dark Cultivation is a work of fiction exploring what happens when a dark character takes power, not endorsing it. There's sex, violence, gore and profanity. Don't read if you trigger easily.
