Path of the Berserker

Rick Scott

A world destroyed. An axe to grind. And a path to infinite power. Welcome to my reality.

When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and that was before the moon turned red and filled our world with monsters.

Now, over a decade later, what's left of humanity slaves under the heels of our Qi-infused masters. The luckiest of us might even become one of them, they say—if we serve the Dynasty well enough and harness the power of Qi.

But I want none of that.

I'm sick of serving and I want nothing to do with their world. Instead, I want them to pay for what they did to mine. Maybe that's why she found me. The fearsome, angry goddess who showed me a different path. Apparently, Qi is not the only route to power.

Now I'll fight to take back my planet, to grow strong enough to beat the cultivators at their own game. Through the power of blood, rage, and pain, I will free humanity or die trying.

For that's the Path of a Berserker.

Max, a man whose world was destroyed by an unrelenting intergalactic dynasty of immortal cultivators, is left with nothing but vengeance burning in his veins.

Read full series description

The series unfolds in a dark and unforgiving world where ancient Qi powers are wielded by those who see themselves as gods, and humanity is enslaved in the wake of their conquest. As Max hones the deadly berserker arts, he must navigate a landscape filled with factions, betrayal, and unimaginable threats. From fighting his own inner demons to facing the immortal warriors who control the fate of galaxies, Max’s journey is one of personal transformation and relentless resistance.

What sets Path of the Berserker apart is its compelling blend of post-apocalyptic grit with Eastern martial arts philosophy, weaving xianxia influences into a progression fantasy that is as brutal as it is captivating. The stakes aren’t just about survival; they’re about reclaiming what was lost, fighting for freedom, and carving a legacy from the wreckage of a dying world.

Each book draws readers deeper into a world of cosmic conflict, ancient powers, and intense personal growth. With every challenge Max faces, the line between man and monster blurs, creating an atmosphere where nothing is ever quite as it seems. The berserker path is one of chaos, but also of potential—a chance to rise above the ashes, reshape fate, and find redemption in the most unlikely of places.

For fans of gritty, action-packed fantasy with a focus on growth, power, and defiance against overwhelming odds, Path of the Berserker offers a saga that will keep you turning the pages, eager to see just how far one man’s rage can take him.
