by CopperKnutz
Two friends from Earth just wanted to re-live their earlier years, wake up ripped into Eldanar. A fantasy world of steel, sorcery, and stakes that kill. No guide, no rescue, no miracles, only blades, magic, their bond, and the friendships they make along their journey. Can they become the heroes this world needs? Josh trains to become the immovable shield. Brett is ripped from comfort into power, strength swapped for magic. Together they must master tactics, build a party, and fight a spreading darkness before the world chews them up. What to expect: -Slow burn build - no plans to turn this into a book series, or to stub at all, instead I just want to keep building the world.-Grounded, not overpowered protagonists -Party dynamics and tight combat tactics -Rich worldbuilding with LitRPG mechanics -Emotional stakes and realistic trauma from fighting -No harem, romance minimal and fade to black if present Release schedule - intermittent due to semi hiatus
