Description

Synopsis:

The die is only the beginning, his first weapon. What is important is the story that it interferes with spectacular results. How would you create your own system?

See the first steps of the one that changed everything. Sometimes it’s better to create a new one than just destroy the old.

Lines are the fabric of reality itself. To be blessed by them is to help expand the possibilities or try to seize them all.

The system is a deceptive tool created to subvert the lines, becoming chains binding the powerless. What choices does someone have after they are free of this falsehood? What truth lies in the lines?

Created as another cattle shackled by the system, Roberion tries his shot at freedom out of a Null factory. His escape makes him get trapped in the political games of stronger players. Behind all that, the dangers that lie in the unknown are always a threat to all.

Release on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 3PM PST, if life allows.

WARNING: I'm a neandertal (stubborn amateur). I will focus on making a cohesive and interesting story. If you want high tier grammar and prose that makes you taste the words leaving the lips of the characters, then look elsewhere. This is a passion project, and its only ambition is to be disruptive. Like an elephant stumbling in your kitchen type of disruptive.

Yes, some chapters are really rough, especially the first ones. What matters most to me is to continue the story with things I wanted to read about but didn't find.

Note of the Author:

As a poor Neandertal of today’s society, consumer of litrpg/progression, I expect to create a work with heart, but sadly with grammar mistakes, feel free to give suggestions and corrections.

Slow start, the curtains are still being draw. Wait until the main actor prepares himself.

As for the interesting part, what can you expect?

•A power dynamic that tries to blend with the world, everyone is trying to use the universe’s laws. You will see how Roberion will interpret and make use of it.

• It all begins with a die, but that is only the start of the madness.

•Progression, in its purest form. See why his story is told.

•Blending sci-fi and magic, always been a fan of the mix of both aspects in the entertainment industry, sadly it goes under-used.

PS: The cover is and isn’t a placeholder, it’s there until I can pay for a more crazy cover. Readers will know what I mean. Only human hands are capable of such madness.

This novel looks promising. I just wish the mc got new powers faster, for now there is only one that is Percival the capybara. The guy was doing practically all the work exploding shit up, the mc needs to upgrade his weapon. For now the world building is slow, still talking about the system etc.
Edit: The story now got to some nice parts. The normal mirror beginning changed to something more original, the grammar is the usual for royalroad, but the new chapters were improved.
Style is good I guess, its your normal progressive one, at least it doesn't seem to be a software translation or AI.
The world is interesting especially the factions, we didn't see much of them yet though.
The character got some power ups, nice. Now we got more what about the dice is about and the magic system. Still in baby steps though, aside a side character we didn't see more powered up spells.
But I have hope for the story.
Spoiler for the review be 200 words long

I think this story has lots of potential as I said in my review lets start with the power system i think that its unique because i read alot and this is the first time I've come across such a power system but on the downside its not fleshed out at all. I hope to see it more fleshed out in book 2. I found the MC and his weapon likeable
The mc is a clean slate and he always tried his best to fet out of any situation using his wits since he is currently weak but towards the end with the addition of that AI I saw that the mc became a little stupid and always relying on her even though she's not trustable the MC was ignorant before but never stupid. He might not be able to escape her but atleast show him trying to get out of that predicament even though it doesn't work.
Also i hope that doesnt become the even though you killed me 1000 times atleast you taught me magic so I guess were even now poltline with the AI what she did was devious even if it helped him it wasn't like it was from the goodness of her heart all debts needs to be repayed.
Now lastly the grammar indont know if english is the authors 1st language or not but the grammar was atrocious I recommend the author to use grammerly or AI to proofread/translate/edit the story I saw the grammmar getting better towards the end of book 1 but its still bad and it constantly breaks immersion that's why i gave grammar a 1.

As the author hopes, there's definitely heart aplenty in this work. Having read through the first portion, I feel the author could cut out or clean up a chunk at the start to make it flow better but once you're reading, the story does the rest of the legwork.
Good luck to Roberion! Good job to Xablau!
