"Would play this if it was a game 100%."
"It felt like playing Hades again."
Penance is a prison for gods whose power must be kept in check—a halfway point between heaven and hell for those who failed to find salvation at death.
As Rod makes his way through this dungeon, he slowly recovers his memories that were fractured at death. But as he dives deeper and deeper into the dungeon, he'll get involved in the machinations of the gods and learn that some secrets should have stayed dead. After all, the Good don't need repentance.
— Penance: Prison of the Gods.
A Rogue-Lite Lit-rpg adventure.This is a LITRPG with stat windows and lots of loot. It is also a romance story at its core, though it will take a couple of books to get there. I will update twice daily after launch day, starting on June 17th, and then once daily, starting July 2nd.

What to expect:
- A rogue-like structure with the dungeon repeatedly changing, and the MC dying and respawning.
-Crunchy Litrpg windows and lots and lots of loot.
- Weak to Strong Protagonist-- With multiple classes melee, ranged, and magic!
- Slow-burn romance between the leads.
- Mystery
