DIE TRYING [A Roguelite Extraction LitRPG]

Jump into a fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die. Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich or die trying - and that's gotten a lot more literal recently.Stuck in retail hell, his days were spent paycheck to paycheck between broke and completely screwed.Until a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets. One small problem: The plucky band of heroes destined to save the world failed centuries ago and everything's gone downhill since. The land has become a goddamn deathtrap and for every bit of gold that glitters, there's something trying to kill or eat him - usually both. But with a reality-bending video game System to exploit, past gaming years as a min/maxing fanatic, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice - he might survive long enough to get things rolling.   ------------ What to expect ------------[+] Constant focus on discovering and adding builds.
