Alcyr remembered dying. He remembered it happening countless times ‘today’. Titles, skills, and blessings. Nobles and prodigies had them all. In a world where power was inherited at birth, an orphaned slave like Alcyr was denied even the right to dream. When an axe found his throat on the battlefield, he thought that would be the end of his suffering. Instead, he found himself awake once more, cursed to endlessly relive the day of his death. Yet, not all was as hopeless as it seemed. Though each death returned him to the same morning, every new skill and level he earned was carried over. So he’ll die. Again and again. It didn’t matter how impossible the foe before him was to defeat. No matter how many times he falls, he will always pick up the sword and try again. Better a thousand deaths than one life as a slave. Though hated by the Gods themselves, Alcyr will defy his fate and rise. *** What to expect: - A non-repetitive, checkpoint-based time loop — every victory moves the day forward and onto greater challenges - Three Chapters a week (M-W-F), with advanced chapters on Patreon - Hard-earned and fast-paced power progression system - Epic battles, legendary skills, and giant monsters - Punching arrogant nobles in the face, befriending annoying bards, and courting forbidden powers
