Editing/Rewrite: Up to Chapter 40 completed (25 uploaded).Updates: Mon/Wed/Fri Ray Atton dies when Earth is wiped out, then wakes on the world of Arkus with a System in his head and a pistol in his hand. The System demands he accept integration. Ray refuses. It resurrects him anyway, branded as an Outcast, locked out of System merchants and denied most support. Weak, hunted, and labelled as something that should not exist, Ray is captured by the dark elves of the Aliri Clan and dragged into a war that’s been raging for over a century. Off-worlders are feared as System chosen, conquerors who help assimilate worlds. Ray isn’t chosen. He’s rejected. And that makes him a problem for everyone. In a world where power comes through levels, skills, and brutal choices, Ray has to survive long enough to learn what Arkus really is, why the System wants him, and what happens when a world fights back. What to Expect - Epic adventures - LitRPG and Progression Fantasy - System mechanics. - Compelling characters with strong worldbuilding.
