Mark of Ascendanscy

Im Rok-hyun fought and died in the mud of the Third World War.

But death wasn't the end.

Resurrected by the ruthless Empire of Man, Rok-hyun awakens in a nightmare of plasteel, toxic smog, and endless dimensional wars. Stripped of his past and branded with a mark, he is thrust into the meat grinder as an Ascendant—cannon fodder forged by pain and system nanites, ordered to conquer Dimensional Rifts.

When his squad is deployed to the Tartarus Sector, the rules of survival violently change. The magic of Karkazum a high-fantasy world ruled by a mysterious 'System', reacts with the Empire's technology in his blood, unlocking game-like classes, stats, and skills.

Armed with a heavy Mark IV pulse rifle, a Ranger class built for him, and a squad of broken souls, Rok-hyun must navigate brutal worlds filled with monsters, while surviving the cruelty of his own commanders.

Honor gets you killed. Pain is the currency of the living. And Rok-hyun refuses to die a second time.
