The Clan of the Hidden Tree: A Seven Stars Series

Nest is a dwarven craftsman, happy to live in the shadows—deep within the hidden mountain stronghold of the Clan of the Hidden Tree. Unlike most, his people thrive in harmony with a living dungeon. But when an instinct draws him toward the heart of that dungeon, his quiet life is shattered.

Buried within the mountain lies the Hidden Tree—home of the dungeon core—and an ardite blade that binds itself to Nest’s soul. Marked as asinner, Nest is pulled into a brutal world of cultivation, soulbound weapons, and dungeon warfare.

But Nest isn’t a fighter.

He’s a maker.

When his carvings begin to move on their own, he discovers a new path: a cultivator whose power is rooted not in destruction, but creation. Soul wood. Living art. A class never seen before.

Now hunted, tested, and thrust into a war between guilds and dungeons, Nest must shape more than weapons—he must shape his destiny.

Set in the Seven Stars universe.This is a side story—raw, creative, and unpolished. If you're looking for a fully edited novel, check out the main series. But if you want weekly updates, wild ideas, and a fresh take on LitRPG cultivation, you’re in the right place.
