Body Builder

Dr. Arthur Vance died saving a life. Now, he survives by stealing them. When a bullet ends his career as a combat trauma surgeon, Arthur wakes up in a subterranean nightmare. His lower half is rotting from fast-acting goblin venom, and his only company is a freshly killed monster. Then, reality fractures and the System boots up. The Surgeon's Domain doesn't offer fireballs, magical swords, or generic stat boosts. It offers a sterile scalpel. It offers Xenotransplantation. To survive the necrosis, Arthur amputates his own ruined legs and grafts the powerful limbs of a reptilian predator onto his stumps. But simply surviving the cave isn't enough. He stumbles upon a starving tribe of weak monsters, only to discover they are hunted by a terrifying, mud-born god known as the Carrion King. Arthur realizes a grim truth: to build a stronghold in a world of mythological horrors, he has to become the ultimate apex predator. He won't just upgrade himself. He will butcher the aberrations of the violet forest, harvest their biological cores, and stitch together a new empire out of flesh, bone, and mechanical efficiency. What to Expect: Visceral Progression: A unique magic system focused entirely on surgical crafting, anatomical upgrades, and biological loot. Monster Evolution: Transforming weak, starving scavengers into elite, chimera shock-troopers. Kingdom Building: Forging a civilization from the dirt up through precise engineering, trap-making, and ruthless resource management. Clinical Protagonist: A highly analytical, uncompromising main character who treats survival as a medical procedure.
