Soulless Wretch

In Orison, a soul is more than proof of life. It is identity, social status, physical strength—and the source of a supernatural rule unique to every person.

Silas Wren was born without one.

At nineteen, he survives on society’s lowest rung, working dangerous shifts in a reclamation facility where machines distrust him, authorities dismiss him, and empowered coworkers treat his helplessness as entertainment. With no parents, no real home, and no one willing to defend him publicly, Silas has learned to endure everything in silence.

But endurance has limits.

When a brutal workplace confrontation awakens something impossible inside him, Silas discovers that being soulless may never have meant being empty. Hunted by the same society that spent his entire life ignoring him, he must uncover what he has become—and decide what he is willing to do with the power that finally makes the world pay attention.

Because in a civilization where every soul grants one power, the most dangerous man alive may be the one capable of carrying more than his own.

Soulless Wretch is a dark progression-fantasy webnovel about stolen power, institutional cruelty, psychological corruption, and a young man’s transformation from society’s favorite victim into something it cannot control.
