Waking up in 1970 with a shattered body and PTSD was a nightmare. Finding a system that trades the future changed everything. Nick Kane opened his eyes on January 1, 1970, inside a bleak, crowded Bronx VA hospital ward. Trapped in a broken body with fragmented memories of a fallen soldier, he is a man out of time. But he isn’t alone. A mysterious, cosmic interface known as the **"Fate Exchange"** has activated in his mind, turning his tactical decisions and future knowledge into a powerful currency: Fate Points (FP). In the gritty, neon-and-brick landscape of 1970s New York, survival means fixing what’s broken. Starting with the hospital’s forgotten veterans and failing medical equipment, Nick builds his baseline. But the system won’t hand him a victory on a silver platter. When a bureaucratic investigation threatens to expose his anomalous existence, Nick is forced into a dangerous gamble: adopting the ghost identity of an MIA soldier, James Cole, and stepping into the city’s dangerous underbelly. From navigating the rough-and-tumble docks controlled by Irish unions to striking deals with Gambino family loan sharks, Nick must leverage every ounce of his military grit and mechanical genius. The world thinks he’s just another damaged vet. But with a growing team of loyal allies and a literal shop of tomorrow in his head, he is about to build the Phoenix Foundation—and buy his way to the top of a changing world. Grab Book 1 of a gripping Alternate History LitRPG series today! Featuring historical progression, slow-burn kingdom/empire building, realistic gritty action, and a military protagonist who refuses to be broken.
