Where Monsters Lurk [Progression Fantasy]

The electricity never left him… Sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit, Thomas’s life is cut short by the electric chair. Yet almost as if by divine intervention, he escapes death's clutches, instead, reincarnating in another world as a powerful Summon, and one that wields the very ability that claimed his life—electricity. However, his presence is an enigma… Rather than being reincarnated at a Summoning Gate in one of the human kingdoms, he appears in a deadly forest: monster territory. Saved on his first night by a race known as the ekari, they give him a choice: assimilate into their clan, or die where he stands. With no other recourse, Thomas joins, but surviving his captors is the least of his concerns. They expect him to fight against his own kind and the Summon at their command. To make matters worse, there’s a mysterious Tear in the sky, and under the cover of night, it spills insatiable nightspawn into the world, creatures who devour anything they can get their teeth into.  Can Thomas grow in strength fast enough to survive the many threats that face him?
