The Named Protocol - Book 1: Edge

EDGE The Named Protocol — Book One Edge wakes up in a dead city with no memory of how he got there. He doesn’t know his real name. He doesn’t know where home is. The strange bracelet locked around his wrist offers only one answer: SURVIVE. The city is crawling with monsters. Other survivors are just as dangerous. And somewhere beyond the darkness lies the Labyrinth—a system that rewards those willing to play by its rules. Complete its quests. Gain experience. Grow stronger. Or die. But the deeper Edge looks into the system controlling his life, the more disturbing its rules become. Because the Labyrinth doesn’t care who—or what—you kill. It only counts the reward. Armed with a sword, throwing knives, and a growing understanding of the world’s deadly rules, Edge has to learn fast. He can trust no one. He can make no mistakes. And if he wants to survive long enough to find a way home, he’ll have to become far more dangerous than the man who first woke up in that apartment. The Labyrinth gave him a name. Now it wants to decide who he becomes. What to expect: Dark survival LitRPG & Progression Fantasy Tactical combat & smart protagonist (thinks before he fights) Hard stats, skills, and deep system mechanics Deadly monsters & high-stakes conflict
