Runeblade: A Delving & Skill Merging LitRPG

Kaius trained for years to unlock his class, but his first steps toward power accidentally trigger the apocalypse—again. His family’s legacy skills, rare and deadly, are all that stand between him and annihilation after a bandit attack leaves him stranded in the Great Depths, a dungeon vast enough to swallow nations. To escape, he must kill one of the dungeon’s Guardians—a feat no classless adventurer has ever survived. Worse, success means reigniting an ancient trial that once brought civilization to its knees. Armed with runic tattoos and a spellblade’s fury, Kaius battles through monstrous hordes and devious traps, merging skills and pushing his limits in a world where sorcery is both weapon and curse. The deeper he goes, the more the dungeon whispers: his survival might doom them all.
