Seventeen Seconds to Eternity

Virillius Augustus, bound by fate, confronts sixteen duels before the war goddess' throne. With each victory comes a vision. But as past and future are weaved as one, as his heart yearns for his beloved, he finds himself entangled in a web of schemes and lies. This is a standalone prequel to Misadventures Incorporated. No knowledge of the series required. What to expect:- Gamelit; system exists but works largely in the background- Strong but imperfect MC- Heavily character-focused- Rich worldbuilding and lore with mostly non-human characters- An out of order story that pieces itself together by the end
