Dozens of people woke up inside a game designed to kill them. The catch: the game is real. The simulation gives each of them a class, a weapon, and a number that counts how much life they have left. It does not give them a way out. Nanites turn the human body into a character sheet, the monsters turn mistakes into corpses, and somewhere beyond the walls, the people who built it are watching to see who is worth keeping. Jason is nobody. No history, no ties, no one waiting. It is his only advantage, and he will use it to outlast a machine built to erase him. Surviving the game is only the first move. What comes after does not stay on the board. Progression LitRPG and survival technothriller. ๐ Volume 1: The Outcast's Ascension โ COMPLETE โ๏ธ ๐ Volume 2: The Outcast's Reckoning โ ongoing, new chapters three times a week ๐ Volume 3: ย โ Final volume in the trilogy launches this October.
