Description

Our narrator, Micheal, is a soldier. Unfortunately, he is not long for his current world, and is summoned to the world of Sehal at the whim of a god. This is a LitRPG, so we do have numbers and stuff, but I hate numbers, so we keep it pretty chill with that. This is my first time ever posting anything, so y'all let me know what you think.

The story's structure, featuring both major action set-pieces and quieter character moments, helps balance the tension and allows for significant character development. However, some arcs t
