Slumrat Rising

Truth Medici is desperate to escape the brutal Harban slums, even willing to sell his soul for a way out, but finds no takers. His only alternative to a life of cruelty is a dangerous path to survival, as failure means his family will be sold to brothels and gangsters. The powerful Starbrite corporation promises a better future: wealth, power, and a dignified life for those who endure their harsh selection process. Even greater rewards await the truly determined, who can gain access to the System Astrologica, a means to achieve Demigod status. In this world where celestial and infernal beings are mere employees, becoming a Demigod is a tangible aspiration. However, such immense power and prosperity come at a price, demanding a constant struggle. Fortunately for Truth, fighting is something he excels at.
