Talent captures the crowd; hard work wins the game Once vying for the number one spot in tennis, Zalanir now works as a tennis teacher while grinding side gigs at night to make ends meet. At 28, he has given up on the dream of competing again. He is in his normal rhythm of life and work when a catastrophe descends and turns everything upside down. Accident or not, it sends him into a world where he is immediately captured by … beast humans? Instead of a vibrant city and beautiful tennis courts, Zalanir is thrust into a fighting pit with monsters, fighters, and a crazy crowd that demands blood and battles. To survive, he has to adapt quickly to a world governed by a System, continue honing his skills, and seize every opportunity that he comes across. In the meantime, the human race is preparing for history. Or at least some of them. A call to arms commandment inside the top factions signifies that the winds of change are coming. Yet in this time of uncertainty, while the masses are on the edge, Zalanir thrives. His fire burns again. He is once more aiming for the top. Turbulent times birth heroes, and Zalanir is right at the center. What to expect: * LitRPG with a dual-class system, class evolutions, and clear progression * A detailed support structure for skills, including modifications, costs, acquisition of new skills, and a cap on how many skills could be equipped — making the skill selection fun and painful * A sense of realism and slow burn at the beginning, OP stuff later * Weak to powerful MC * Tons of races, factions, secrets, and mythical creatures * Sport and music terminologies here and there * Moral complexity, including internal monologue, analysis, and consideration * Faction building down the line Release Schedule: * 3 chapters/week (M-W-F) * Chapter length: 2,000 - 2,500 words ****** Copyright © Nahenvius, 2025 All rights reserved.
