Description
Gutter spawn, freak, mistake,A SLAVE.
From his first breath, he was cursed out by the ''gentle folk'', forced to live in the dirt and muck down with the rest of the reprobates of a society that would sooner see him dead, than prosper. Using any means to survive, he begged, stole and ''borrowed'' his way through most of his childhood.
Still, it wasn't all doom and gloom as he had still found true friends and despite the deprication and chagrin of others, he strived to become a Hunter. Nothing too fancy, he'd earn a decent wage and finally have the full respect of his peers. Only, nothing in life is as easy as it sounds and to rank among the elite, he's been through blood, sweat and tears and it still isn't enough.
But as life would have it, destiny isn't set in stone, and his, after what seemed to be a routine 'job' was just about to change forever...
Hey guys, it's me, ya boy, the author.
I wanted to read more about the ramifications of what effect magic would logically have on a society. Also to explore the fauna and people of a lowish fantasy world. Whilst I have read many webnovels, none quite scratched this itch properly for me.
If you love heavy armour, magic, science fantasy, action, laughs and struggles, some romance, a bit of slice of life and a somewhat gritty but not an edge fest of a story, then you are in the right place.
Exploration of the world makes up a big part of the story, I don't have dungeons in the regular sense but more so things that make sense to me.
-The protagonist is young at the start but for most of the story he will be an adult, I want to aim for a bit more grittier feel but I don't want an edge fest.
-Any feedback, no matter how small shall be appreciated and I welcome criticism of any kind, just keep it civil in the comment pls.

- Horny fishRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's still pretty early to judge a lot of things about the story but I must say the writing style is actually very good the characters are interesting and it looks a bit dark ( I like it )
I'm not an English speaker so I don't think I can say anything about the grammar I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you if you like steampunk, and maybe low fantasy ? I don't know much yet but definitely you should give it a try if you like the genres mentioned above - Noi202Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0The start seems slow but steady. The type of English used seems realistic for the characters. Grammar is amazing and barely any spelling mistakes. The writing style seems really professional and clean.
This story definitely has a lot of potential. I usually don't write reviews( I did like 5 times in the hundreds of novel i have read) But i hope the best for this story.
This isn't that big of a review, since there is only 3 chapters. But i still wanted to write one, will write a more in-depth review, when this gets a few more chapters and I fully understand the goal/premise. - Cloak of perusalRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I really like how this is going. After reviewing and then reading it for the first time as a normal reader I realized how much potential this has. Currently (11/23/2023) this only has two chapters but I already love the worldbuilding and characters. Even the NIC (Not important characters) feel so alive in this. Just reading those small conversations really gives a feeling for the world.
If you got the time you should definitely check it out.
