To awaken, one's will and constitution must be greater than one's own existence. Ethan Forge plotted his own exit from the world he had come to love and shed blood for. He was betrayed by both the world and the god of his world. As a guerrilla fighter, he was brought to his knees not by a gun, an explosive, or betrayal, but through cancer. Not a hero anymore. In his third life, Ethan Forge, a self-proclaimed liberator inspired by Che Guevara, quit being a hero and became an employee at Self-Interest Corporation. Lord of Loopholes has a power system that is inspired by Reverend Insanity's Gu system, Lord of the Mysteries' potion system, and THE GOD EATER's Metac system. Warning: Ethan died twice in the first chapter.
