From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator ofthe Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—comes Dark Dawn, the second book in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure.

Mark Fields has achieved his dreams—once a dishwasher, he’s now one of the empowered, with superhuman abilities that just keep building. He’s got friends, a place in the Engineering Corps, and a new mission.

Joining the Black Mountain Battalion, Mark is part of the team heading into the wilderness to recover a lost mine. But the battalion is massively understaffed, the Exlian are voracious and myriad, corruption awaits back in New Emery, and the aliens aren’t even the only enemy out there …

Mark must level up ASAP to survive, but greater power is always a double-edged sword.
