The Atomic Chameleon: A Tactical LitRPG

An amateur plans a murder. A professional designs the aftermath. Shy Ben-David spent his adult life doing work Israel could never admit ordering. Mossad called him the Zikit: the Chameleon. Now in his mid-sixties and dying of cancer, he is offered one final operation when reality tears open in the desert: Walk into the impossible with a nuclear bomb wired to his heartbeat. He is not expected to survive. He does. The crossing remakes him: young, whole, and carrying enough nuclear fire to draw a god's attention. Then the Arbiter of Gluttony takes ninety percent of it and throws Shy into a frozen abyss at Level One. The System calls it cosmic mugging.Rules, apparently, are rules. Shy is left with ten percent of a miracle, a lifetime of tradecraft, and a world of Levels, Skills, monsters, and gods to survive. So he does what he has always done: learns the rules, finds the lies, maps the pressure points, and starts looking for the exploit. Gods think in eternities.Shy thinks in operations.
