Updates: Mon/Wed/Fri The System satisfies all refund requests with death. When the System destroys Earth and rebuilds Ray Atton on another world, it makes exactly one mistake: it builds him wrong. Ray was supposed to accept integration quietly, gain a class and follow the rules like every other off-worlder dumped onto Arkus. Instead, the System brands him a Human-Error, locks him out of its shops and offers the entire world five years of peace in exchange for his corpse. Betrayed by the people he protected, stabbed through the chest and dragged underground by a dying world that needs him alive, Ray has to clear a dungeon, rebuild his shattered interface and convince a second god-like intelligence that he's worth the trouble — all while wearing nothing but an amulet and a grudge. System Outcast is a progression fantasy where the numbers fight back, every promotion comes with a new way to die, and the most dangerous thing on Arkus is an accountant who refuses to stay dead. What to Expect - Epic adventures - LitRPG and Progression Fantasy - System mechanics. - Compelling characters with strong worldbuilding.
