Description

Join Rory on what could have been.

Taken tragically from life by sudden infant death syndrome. Join in the reimagining of what his life could have been... With a system forced reset of human civilisation thrown in for good measure.

One minute Rory was a college student struggling under pressure, the next he and the entire world find themselves at the mercy of the System.

Itssick sense of humour results in Rory and hundreds of others going through the tutorial from hell.

Monsters straight out of myth become reality, forcing Rory and the unlucky group to fight if they are to have any chance of survival.

Those that overcome the tutorial will be thrust into a totally alien world, where might and magic rule and where humanity is far from the top of the food chain.

This could be a brilliant story, as it is at the moment it is still a good one that is well worth the read.
Everyone should give this story a chance, while the first two chapters could do with a rewrite and the author could benefit from a proof reader it is nevertheless an entertaining and exciting story.
Set in third person the story follows the mc as his life and the entire world's is turned upside down, a system takes over the world and forces level, classes, monsters and death upon the masses.
only the main character has been given any story time so far, but he seems to be likeable and isn't your typical young master that is above everyone and takes absolutely opportunity to make himself stronger even if it means everyone else suffers. he seems to care, he shares his knowledge willingly, maybe too much so.
I really enjoy the detail the author goes into with giving monsters descriptions and backgrounds, classes, titles and achievements have lore attached to them.
The story could do with a proof reader, while the author obviously puts his word through a spell checker as I didn't notice any spelling mistakes I saw the occasional wrong word, which would have been picked up by a proof reader.
overall this is a good story that I hope will become great in the future and I cannot wait to see where the author takes it from here

the story so far is fairly common, boy gets taken to somewhere other than earth and has to learn to fight in order to survive. has quite interesting monsters that I haven't come across before.
The magic system is interesting as well. so far only the main character is able to use magic and while there are some spells most magic seems to be thought controlled.
classes, monsters and items have alot of lore and descriptions.
Haven't noticed any spelling mistakes however apart from not noticing obvious ones I haven't looked in detail.
So far only the main character has had much detail given however side characters have started to be introduced.
there are only ten chapters so far but the story seems to be moving along at a nice pace and doesn't take too long on any one subject.
the class system is influenced by what the character does and offers different classes based on that.
the main character while strong isn't overpowered and makes mistake and isn't some fearless worry, he flinches, he makes mistakes, he even throws up.
I hope the story keeps its interesting features as it could be a good story if if does and I look forward to reading it
