**BOOK 1 COMPLETE** His family was his world. Now he’s in a new one. When a fatal accident rips Caleb Foster from his wife and kids, the forty-year-old gets a second chance in a realm of dungeons and monsters. A cosmic system offers him a choice of legendary powers, but Caleb refuses the flashy magic. He chooses the abilities to learn faster, remember perfectly, and master any physical skill. A father's instinct to protect doesn't die with his family. To survive and shield the new lives that depend on him, he must use a lifetime of quiet competence to navigate a dangerous frontier town, hunt deadly beasts, and outwit men who mistake his lack of flash for weakness. In a place where might makes right, Caleb is about to show that the most lethal weapon is a mind that misses nothing, and a will that never quits. *** What You Can Expect-Mature, Rational Protagonist (Single POV)-Slow-Burn, Emotional, Character-Driven, Slice of Life, Found Family-Logical LitRPG System and Earned Power (not too crunchy)-Gritty and Unforgiving World (Nobledark) What You Should Not Expect-No Harem / Romance / Smut-No Instant Overpowered MC-No Perfect MC (he'll make mistakes even though he's an adult) Release Schedule-3x week M/W/F @ 07:30 EST/EDT-Patreon has 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Early Access chapters Please come hop into Discord and say hi!
