Unclassed, Not Unmatched

Book One: Worst Does Not Mean Useless (Ongoing) In a world where your class decides your future, Riven Ashford was supposed to be extraordinary. Born to two legendary Rank SS adventurers and raised in the shadow of a family name carved into guild history, everyone expected his Awakening Rite to shake the kingdom. His mother was a mage whose spells could bend battlefields. His father was a warrior who had shattered monsters no army could face. Even his older sister had already become an A-Rank warrior at only twenty-one. Then Riven turned nineteen. Then the Rite chose him. **Unclassed.** No path. No prestige. No honorable future waiting for him. To most, being Unclassed is the worst fate imaginable. It means closed doors, pitying stares, fewer jobs, and a lifetime spent beneath the boots of those blessed with real power. For Riven, it means becoming the Ashford family’s greatest embarrassment overnight. But when the polished guilds turn their backs on him, Riven finds himself tossed into the lowest-ranked guild in the city, a broken-down den of failures, castoffs, troublemakers, and dangerously attractive disasters who have all been written off by the world. They are called useless. So is he. But Riven is about to learn something the guild system never wanted anyone to prove. The worst rank does not mean the weakest soul. The worst guild does not mean a lost cause. And being Unclassed does not mean being unmatched.
