In Zemeland, prejudice isn't just taught-it's contagious. And this time, it's killing the wrong people first.
This world has always loved its labels.
Human. Elf. Dwarf. Useful. Dangerous. Acceptable.
And then there are the half-breeds-too much of this, not enough of that, forever expected to apologise for existing.
When a curse mark resurfaces, it does not choose its victims at random. It settles into old prejudices, feeds on fear, and grows stronger every time someone decides that different is the same as wrong.
A quartet of unlikely companions-bound more by circumstance than a call for glory-find themselves caught in the fault lines of a world that prefers simple answers and visible enemies. This time, the enemy is not a monster hiding in the dark-but ideas that feel uncomfortably familiar.
Zemeland has other plans.
Though it does not obey visible stat screens, it follows gamer logic to the letter: choices compound, reputations matter, and no system remains fair once fear is allowed to rewrite the rules.
But the curse is not merely something to be lifted-it is something learned, repeated, and defended.
Witty, warm, and quietly furious, The Curse of the Half-Breeds explores identity, inherited fear, and the cost of belonging in a world obsessed with purity. With gentle LitRPG and Romantasy elements, layered love without spectacle, and humour sharp enough to draw blood when necessary, this is a fantasy about growing up, standing out, and choosing compassion when it would be easier to choose silence.
You'll love this book if you enjoy fantasy that trusts your intelligence-where progress is earned, moral shortcuts come at a price, and humour survives even when the world does not.
Because monsters are rarely born.
They are taught.
Step into Zemeland-and decide what kind of hero you are when doing the right thing stops being easy.
The Curse of the Half-Breeds is the second book in the Levelling Up Together series, following The Forgotten Five and preceding The Price of Doing Right (in progress).
Each novel stands on its own-but readers who continue will discover a larger, darker story unfolding beneath the surface.
