Bonds of Power
Dungeon incursions threaten the world, and the Class Marked fighting against them are defined by their abilities and ranks. Ethan Anderson’s Essence Bonder class—a unique S-rank support—reshapes everything. His abilities grant permanent growth to others, upending the rigid class ranking system. His power comes at a cost: his abilities demand intimate bonds, pulling him into an unavoidable harem dynamic nobody expected.
Navigating these bonds forces each team member to confront social stigma, sexual qualms, and their own assumptions about what a team should be. As they adapt to this unconventional arrangement, they discover the bonds they form create strength they couldn’t achieve alone.
But, Ethan’s abilities draw unwanted attention. Some Guild factions argue he should serve society beyond empowering his D-ranked girlfriend and sister, instead strengthening the nations elite. Torn between duty, loyalty, and conscience, Ethan must carve a path honoring both his bonds and morals amidst political and emotional pressures.
What to expect:
-A character driven story. Harem’s aren’t normal, and Ethan will have to navigate that with his team members.
-Politics. An S-rank class is a big deal. The world reacts accordingly.
-A competent cast of characters.
-Action. While present, action takes second seat to character dynamics and politics.
-Smut. While present, it isn’t the focus of the story. Smut scenes will be part of character growth, rather than smut for smuts sake.
-LitRPG elements aren’t gamified. There are no stat screens and growth is measured in actual capability.
-Some mildly dark themes, such as toxic relationships.
