For some wizards, Intelligence is just a dump stat. Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low. He lost his job, his fiancée dumped him, he moved back to the Midwest and currently lives in his parent’s basement—oh, and his workout was just interrupted with the arrival of the System. Earth has become a playing field in a contest amongst the gods, where mortals are the pawns. The winning god gets the glory, and their chosen champion gets a single wish. The first stage of this game: Tutorial – Class Selection. Provided the ideal stat array for a physical, combat-focused class, the choice for Joe is obvious. Until he fat thumbs the selection screen and ends up selecting Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat? 1. With a useless class selection and only his raw testosterone-fueled strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. Pumping all stat points in Strength, he hopes to not only survive the contest of the gods, but to win the whole damned thing. After all, a real wizard should be measured by how much they can bench! . . . . . . . . . . What to expect: - A slower-paced beginning - A System Integration story that will shift into a System Apocalypse story - GameLit / LitRPG elements weaved into detailed character arcs - Party dynamics . . . . . . . . . . RELEASE SCHEDULE: Generally one chapter a week, as time permits. Book 1: Chapters 1 - 69. Book 2: 70 - 120. Book 3: 121- ongoing. . . . . . . . . . .
