Young Gods Tournament
The Young Gods Tournament awaits. Only the victors will break through to the worlds beyond the heavens.
In an unfair world where a single monster can wipe out an entire village, Thomas is not one of the chosen few. He wasn’t gifted with immense power from the moment of his birth, nor does he have a powerful backer to defend him.
By the laws of the world, it’s near impossible for him to rise to the top.
But where the god’s themselves have failed him, Thomas will push on and gain the strength to protect his friends, and his home, from the ever rising dangers of the world.
There is only one true opportunity to break through the shackles of his life — The Young God’s Tournament. After surviving a deadly ambush, he’ll use every ounce of his strength as he faces off against his rival Prospects, a continent-wide conspiracy, and the ever looming threat from the once-slumbering Empire.

Cale Plamann
In the quiet town of Neenah, Wisconsin—surrounded more by fields than fast Wi-Fi—Cale Plamann grew up building worlds before he ever wrote them down. With limited access to the internet, his adventures took shape not online, but through paper, dice, and imagination. Tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Star Wars d20 became the foundation for stories he’d later transform into immersive LitRPG sagas.
What sets Plamann apart in the genre isn’t just his grasp of game mechanics—it’s his ability to make those systems feel lived-in, emotional, and deeply human, even when his characters are anything but. Whether readers are venturing through the dream-warped layers of Tower of Somnus, navigating the divine timelines of Blessed Time, or wrestling with the raw, monster-eat-man reality of A Dream of Wings & Flame, they’re stepping into stories that challenge what LitRPG can be.
Young Gods Tournament
Embark on a journey as Thomas gains a unique power that comes with huge risks and costs through a system including Cultivation and Xianxia elements with a LitRPG twist. This is a weak-to-strong tale focusing on a main cast, all of which grow in power together without overshadowing one another. The world is built upon politics, from the conflict between Region Lords and the Empire, to the struggle for survival of individual villages and lonely wanderers.
Young Gods Tournament consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
