The System has come to Earth. One moment, James Roller was cutting plywood. The next, humanity was thrown into a deadly tutorial where levels meant survival, monsters gave experience, and the weak were expected to die. The only things James had were a toolbelt, a stubborn streak, and years of experience solving problems with wood, stone, steel, and sweat. When he is separated from the others and forced to survive alone, those skills become the difference between life and death. Every structure James builds, every monster he kills, and every strange rune he discovers pushes him toward a class no one has seen before: Rune Carpenter. And if the multiverse thinks Earth is easy material to break, James Roller is ready to prove that even the lowest realm can be reinforced.
