Eternity says it wants nothing from Klaus. Klaus has spent too many years fixing other people's messes to believe that for a second. One moment, he's driving home after another miserable shift as an underpaid and overtaxed service engineer. The next, he's twenty-three again, standing beneath an alien sky while a godlike machine tells him he's been granted a second chance. Not a mission. Not a prophecy. Just life—no catch, according to Eternity. A new body, a strange world, and a System with absurdly complex rules Klaus is intent on cracking. Oresstria is beautiful, ancient, and lethal. Its ruins hide technology no one remembers building. Its wilds are full of things perfectly capable of ending his second life. And Klaus starts close enough to the bottom that one bad call could finish it before it starts. Fortunately, impossible problems used to be his job. So he experiments. Adapts. Tests limits. Fails. Tries again. Every hard-earned answer becomes another tool for staying alive. But the deeper he digs into Oresstria and its System, the harder one question becomes to ignore: If Eternity wants nothing from him, why is he here? He arrived with almost nothing. He won't stay that way. ----------------------------------- What to expect: - Weak-to-strong progression, earned the hard way. - An engineer who experiments with the System instead of blindly following it. - Science-fantasy: alien ecosystems, ancient technology, ruins, and dungeons. - An adult protagonist who fails, learns, improvises, and occasionally often makes terrible decisions. - A godlike AI companion with questionable people skills and even more questionable answers. - Swearing. A lot of it. In two languages. ----------------------------------- Update schedule: Monday and Friday
