The level cap isn't a limit. It's a harvest.
In Ashkarn, Level Five is where careers end and bodies stack up. Dorian Vossler has watched squads get culled for quotas, not victory. Taryn Quill has seen the church erase anyone who asks the wrong questions.
When a mission exposes impossible overflow experience and a hidden device tied to the cap itself, they uncover a brutal truth: the cap is not natural. It is engineered — designed to keep an entire world permanently weak, permanently expendable.
Hunted by enforcers, betrayed by command, fighting through poisoned dungeons and collapsing districts, their survivor cell has one shot to expose the fraud in public.
Fail: die as traitors.
Win: shatter the law that farms a world.
Overflow is Book 1 of the Ashkarn trilogy — a complete dark sci-fi LitRPG series with tactical combat, hard progression stakes, factional politics, and adult consequences. No rescue arcs. No moral safety nets.
