<p> As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. </p> <p> Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. </p> <p> Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a backwater city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. </p> <p> But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. </p> <p> Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. </p> <p> </p> <p> [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] </p>
