Description

Raziel is meant to be dead. He shouldn't have levels, skills, or a metal arm that throws lightning. But he does, and he's only just getting started. Once a legendary Gunslinger of the Outer Ring, Raziel has been reduced to a drunken husk. The only thing that manages to stir him into action is trying to save a friend's life, even if a suicide mission is what it takes. But things take a turn when Raziel winds up with a gem lodged in his chest. One that has all three Rings salivating, because it can do the impossible. For one thing, he can now level. For another, his arm now absorbs power from people and weapons alike. The dangers of the Rings of Jupiter once took everything from him, but now? Now he has the chance to make things right. To get revenge. Expect: The story is updated everyMonday,Wednesday, andFriday!Cover Art by: Linggar Bramanty[THIS IS A RELAUNCH OF A STORY ORIGINALLY POSTED A YEAR AGO. IT HAS BEEN EDITED, REFINED, AND SLIGHTLY REWORKED]

I really enjoy the vivid writing style of the author, sprinkled with very clever drips of humour. The story is truly captivating in a subtle and at the same time, mind-blowing way. I am totally fascinated by this adventure in the rings of Jupiter and I await every new chapter with great anticipation. I’ ve read up to the end of Book 1 during the original run and I can promise you that this story is worth reading and following. Re-reading this book is just as fun as the first time because there are so many details the author included that there is always something new to discover. I absolutely love it!
Style:
The writing is very evocative, with the dark and dangerous world being progressively fleshed out and introduced organically, chapter by chapter. I also love the use of the first person in telling the story, it feels very immediate and powerful. The author has a truly unique and amazing writing style that I admire!
Story:
An incredibly original story and wondrous world. Although the adventure takes place very far from our world, in the rings of Jupiter, it has just enough familiar elements blended in to keep me feeling engaged in the story and connected with the characters. I very much enjoy the progressive world building, full of surprising and intriguing elements. This phase of the story feels like the (deceptive) calm before the storm that is coming in full force! I can barely contain my excitement for every new chapter.
Grammar:
No issues with grammar whatsoever. In fact, I learn new interesting words!
Characters:
The characters are so far extremely interesting. In fact, I find them fascinating, and I really love the interactions between the cast. With every piece of dialogue, I discover something new and unexpected about the characters. It is also clear that characters to come will be equally interesting and I cant’ wait for them to appear! I really like the main character, Raziel. He seems to really care for the people close to him and to be tough enough t

This book shines with vivid world-building, unforgettable characters, and sharp humor. Every chapter draws you deeper into a rich, imaginative setting, while the cast feels alive and relatable. The wit is clever without overshadowing the plot. It's an engaging, entertaining read that balances depth and fun brilliantly. Highly recommended. Keep it up.

First time i had to make an actual account here so i can leave a review. This is one of the better ones i've read so far. Love anything related to regression. Keep it up, please keep the schedule weekly, can't keep me on a cliffhaner every time. And if you can please have a bit more content for each episode, i really love this kind of stuff and it's a bummer when there's not a lot of it.

I'm on Chapter 3 and I had to stop just to say I am hooked!
I tend not to leave reviews but I really felt I had to for this one.
With each chapter it pulls you more and more in to the story and introduces you to characters at a good pace as to not make any of them forgettable. Each part of the story weaves perfectly in to the next as to keep them both separate, yet, connected at the same time.
Highly recommend.

I read the first couple chapters before the relaunch - digging in again now and looking forward to seeing everything open up as promised in author's note. Keep it up - I'm going to wait for a few more chapters to build before I jump in for more - the kinda guy who hates having to wait for the next episode.

The story started off a tad slow. It took until Ch25 to get to the "he's only just getting started" point - with the "gem lodged in his chest" part mentioned in the story abstract. Even so, it was so well written that it captured my interest and held it. Even now, the story stands on its own legs without surrendering to the awesomeness of the ruby. It is a testament to the plot and the narration.
There is a system and there are levels, but it's firmly in a supportive/informative role.
The author doesn't take a detailed explanation route for every new term and concept. Necessary information is uncovered naturally during natural sounding conversations. Very nice.
The characters are all quite interesting oddballs. The MC is great, but several others in his life, all are impressive and distinctive enough to make sure you remember them.

Great story. Engaging storyline and characters. Keeps you guessing. Interesting system mechanics that are fun to discover.
Cyberpunk that reminds me of the Expanse. Lot of suspense, great world-building, and keeps you guessing throughout.
Really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Do yourself a favour and read it!

"Mind-blowing sci-fi masterpiece! The author's visionary world-building and complex characters had me hooked from start to finish. Thought-provoking themes and pulse-pounding action make this a must-read. The twisty plot kept me guessing, and the ending left me breathless. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it ten stars if I could! A true sci-fi gem."
