Road to Mastery 3
To reach the top, Jack must rise through Hell.
Eight months remain until Earth’s grace period is over, and Jack is not nearly strong enough to defend it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. To defeat the planetary overseer within a year, he has to kill his way to the top.
Good thing the Animal Kingdom has a planet full of talented immortals.
Alone and deep in enemy territory, Jack must wage war while avoiding the Kingdom’s Elders and hidden masters. The dangers are endless. Every day is a gamble. Every step, against the odds.
Thankfully, the heart of danger is exactly where a cultivator thrives…

Valerios
Valerios didn’t set out to be an author. Not exactly. His fascination began not with stories, but with patterns—of numbers, of words, of how one idea could quietly ripple into something larger. A quiet observer by nature, he found early joy in puzzles and precision, the kind of joy that eventually spilled into writing, where the rules were subtler and the outcomes more surprising.
His books, especially those in the Road to Mastery series, don’t just build worlds—they explore the tension between structure and chaos, growth and consequence. At their core lies a single question: how far can someone go if they’re willing to begin with nothing? That question, and the countless variations it spawns, drives Valerios’s work across the fantasy and progression genres. His stories tend to unfold with methodical patience, each step earned, each transformation justified. Readers drawn to careful worldbuilding, grounded character arcs, and quiet moments of triumph often find themselves unexpectedly hooked.
