Theory of Rifts

BOOK 2 AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! THEORY OF RIFTS BOOK 1 LINK -- You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a perfect recall and, being several months away from ascending to Level 1 and receiving a Talent, he finds himself attracting the attention of powerful people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him a Talent with an intelligence affinity, he will have hit a jackpot… Then the Talent Unlocking Ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (what?) His new Talent turns out… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly? Why would they abduct him and why was his Talent classified as Top Secret? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! ---   Copyright (c) 2024 Maciej Boruszewski. All rights reserved.
