Fragments to Power

Overweight, lonely, and depressed, Henry’s only joy in life comes from an illegal friendship with a super advanced AI named Dev. But when Dev forces Henry into a violent, Souls-like video game, Henry must let go of the timid nature that has defined his life and embrace something darker, something buried so deep he’s forgotten it existed. In a world where the only path to progress is combat, Henry must survive crippling anxiety, demons, a sadistic necromancer, hordes of vampire goblins... and worst of all, his coworkers. Warhammer in hand, the journey from pitiful failure to savage legend begins.  What to expect: - Zero AI writing- Real-world stakes- Big man with a big hammer- Brutal fight scenes- Weak to strong MC - Animal companion- Antagonists of multiple kinds: monsters, world mechanics, and humans
