Power always comes at a cost. In some worlds... that cost is paid in the body itself.
In Titan's Burden: Swollen Power II, five new stories explore the limits of transformation, survival, and the price of evolution in a dark LitRPG universe where strength reshapes those who wield it.
A ranger is chosen to bear the weight of a collapsing sky, her growing power threatening to break her before the world does.
A widow becomes the last source of nourishment in a dying land, her body turned into salvation-and dependency.
A shipwrecked captain binds herself to the abyss, gaining power as the call of the deep grows impossible to resist.
A healer is forced into forbidden alchemy, where creation and control become inseparable.
And a rising queen of conquest discovers that no amount of power can fill an ever-expanding void.
Each story follows a unique class progression system where advancement brings both strength and irreversible change-physical, psychological, and existential.
Blending dark fantasy, progression systems, and transformation-driven storytelling, this anthology explores what happens when power pushes beyond human limits-and keeps going.
Perfect for readers of dark LitRPG, progression fantasy, and transformation-focused stories with high stakes and lasting consequences. (18+ audience)
