Summary

What would you see if your life’s grandest achievements were tattooed on your skin? What about your darkest secrets? Who would you become knowing that your true legacy was on display for all the world to see? A better person… or a monster.

Harvey reached his breaking point, throwing his life away, only to be brought back when The System welcomed Earth into the Multiverse. He was given a chance at redemption, but only if he survived an integration trial facing an army of undead hellbent on invading his home. With his legacy already stained and a noose tattooed on his chest, he’ll have to fight, bleed, and forge his way back to a life he can be proud of.

What to Expect:

- LitRPG Survival Progression Fantasy goodness with a balance of crunch and emotion.

- Weak to Strong MC

- Killing, Crafting (Blacksmithing and Inscriptions), and Tattoos.

- Skills made from lived experiences, not arbitrarily picked from a screen.

- Choices matter, and your past defines your future.

-Dark themes offset by good friends who like to share a laugh

If you love stories like Primal Hunter or Defiance of the Fall, I wrote this book for you!

November 2025 Writathon Winner!

I will be uploading chapters between 1,500 and 4,000 words M-F at 9:10 AM PST. There's a lot of variety in chapter length because some stories take longer to tell than others, but the average word count per chapter of what I have written is 2,534. If you’d like to read ahead, check out my Patreon, where you can read 5 or 20 chapters ahead!

Trigger Warning - This book discusses suicide and is the redemption arc of a character who made the tragic decision to end their own life. It's not glorified in any way. Dealing with Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma is difficult, and both I and many people I love have struggled. My goal here is to demonstrate how navigating through challenging times can lead to a life you could never have imagined for yourself. When the world is at its darkest, you have to keep fighting.
