A god, reborn below the mortal floor.

Zeus fights Kronos and loses. He comes back as a mortal at Tier 0, in a body that can't do anything he remembers doing. His memory comes with him. His strength doesn't. Unbounded follows the climb back, one tier at a time.

The radiance ladder, from Ember at Tier 1 to Wildfire at Tier 10, with no ceiling above. Zeus begins at Blaze, Tier 5, and wakes at Tier 0, below the mortal floor.

How the climb works

Tiers are earned
Each one takes a trial of the mind, the spirit and the body. Nobody is handed a tier.
Each tier breaks a law
Climbing a tier means some rule of the universe stops applying to you.
There's no ceiling
The ladder doesn't end at Wildfire. Tiers go up without limit.
Skill beats tier
A fighter who reads the fight better can beat one who burns brighter.
Your first Soulword is your name
At Tier 1, every fighter's first word of power is their own name.

Your own climb

Finish a chapter and you earn soul fire. Your lifetime total puts you on the same ladder Zeus climbs, starting at Ember. Sign in and it follows you to every device, along with where you stopped reading. When Unbounded Arena launches, it comes with you into the game.
