Soulthief: Leveling is for Losers

Rob doesn't get experience when he kills; he gets a monster's soul to equip in one of his stat slots. Staying ahead of the power curve means killing the most powerful monsters he can while surviving a world he doesn't understand.Pulled out of his world by the least-good god in a not-great pantheon, he's now stuck in an uncanny valley tutorial modeled on misunderstood elements of Earth. He's dodging other pissed-off elite tutorial participants and putting down whatever office-worker and mall-patron monsters the system throws at him. If he wins, he gets powerful and maybe even gets to go home. If he loses, he dooms the Earth to demolition. Riding a sentient grocery store mobility scooter that runs on a high-octane mixture of giggles and violence, Rob is trying to stay sane and alive long enough to beat the tutorial, save the Earth, and maybe make his displeasure known to the gods themselves. - Consistent M-F updates at 8:00 AM PT - Written up to the end of book 1
