Roun was born clanless, depriving him of a future in an empire where bloodlines and reputation mean everything. His only hope for escaping the life of an outcast lies in being awakened by the Eldest Throne and becoming a guardian of humanity.
But when his dream finally comes true, Roun finds himself stranded on the path to immortality with only a fragment of the spiritual powers he should have received. Roun, however, is used to making do with less — and will let neither rigorous training nor grotesque chimeras stand in the way of his ascension.
To find his own path, he will need to search for the answers hidden within. What he uncovers will forge him into a hero unlike any other — if it doesn’t leave him an abomination first.
This is a progression fantasy series inspired by cultivation/xianxia/wuxia novels, though it has far more western influences blended in than some of the other books in these subgenres.

Great story!

Also the author's physical description of characters and world building are so scatter shot, They'll mention a characters description once and never again in any format. Sometimes they won't mention what they look like at all, so I had a hard time remembering characters. I'm also confused on what kind of culture this is suppose to be, they seem to use words and terms from all parts of the world but doesn't seem to be any unity in it, we have things like kusari-gamas, guan daos, kukris, and targes all existing in the same area with no explanation.
Also note, this narrator keeps throwing accents out for characters and makes things even more confusing with the world.
The overall story and premise is decent though, and I can see the cultivation influences in it, thought they seem a bit lighter than I would expect.
On a more personal note, I can't agree with the author's aesthetic. A crab claw/tentacle combo? Nightmarian? Really? I could rant and rave about it but I'd be here a while.
Entirely too positive a story or I'm just jaded.
