Aether Bound 1: The Flame of Mangol
In a city built on walls and secrets, two brothers rise, one to defend it and one to burn its lies to the ground.
The Grand City stands as the last refuge in a savage world. Towering outer walls keep the monsters at bay, while inner walls divide its people, keeping them segregated and in the dark. At its heart rises the Citadel, a white spire that looms over all, a beacon that signals the next monster attack.
The Outskirts is all Aiden has ever known. But when his older brother, Rook, wins his Ascendancy Trial, everything changes. Faced with an impossible choice, Aiden must either accept an illicit Power Stone and follow Rook into the depths of the Grand City, or risk losing him forever. Even as monsters claw at the outer walls, it soon becomes clear the true danger lies within.
Follow Aiden, Rook, and Eefa in this dystopian LitRPG adventure, where power always demands a price, and the truth hides behind walls within walls.

Loved it
This book was a surprise the magic system is great (except the OP MC) and the writer gave us great reason why leveling isn't easy for the masses unlike 90% of the litrpg series where the MC get 10 levels in a day and the locals need 10 years somehow. I'm hoping for book two soon.
