SUMMARY
Betrayed by his former gang and thrown into the Rendhold Underprison, Dantes has spent the last five years scraping by.
A whoreson of orcish, human, and elvish blood, he's lived on the periphery of the periphery, lying, cheating, and stealing to survive. After a run of bad luck, he's made a powerful enemy. Luckily, he's also gotten all the tools he needs to turn things around.
A slow burn progression fantasy focused on rising through the criminal underworld of a city-state using newfound powers and quick wits.
***
MC's powers will develop slowly, but he will use them in creative ways to get ahead, and in the meantime he's not above just braining someone with a club.
Anti-hero MC with a code.
