Welcome to Die Trying
This is an extraction-style litRPG story!
I've been working on this series for the past half year now, on and off, writing and re-writing, and generally just having a fun time writing it up in between all the other plates I'm juggling. I really believe it'll be a standout series and some of my best work - because it would have been something I'd have binged through as a reader.
Give it a try if the book blurb seems interesting!
--------
Dive into an incredibly strange fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical contraband and refugees back to earth. Try not to die in the process
Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich or die trying.
And that's gotten a lot more literal recently.
Stuck in retail hell, burdened with debt and guilt, clawing away every last dollar he could get, his life was going nowhere fast. And then his retail hell gets upgraded to actual hell - A desperate god of fortune drafted him into a strange cosmic game, tossing Wade back and forth each night between earth and another world entirely.
This old world is filled with treasures, magic, items, and loot. And it's also no place for tourists. Shaped by calamity after calamity, it has transformed over time into the ultimate deathworld. If the people there don't kill Wade, the strange environments sure will.
Worse, he's been dropped right into the thick of it, in the most dangerous starting location possible.
But with a reality-bending video game system to abuse, years of experience breaking video game mechanics for fun, along with a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice - he might just stand a chance.
And if he's extra clever, he might just turn this whole nightmare around into something that'll pay the bills back home.
----- What to expect in general:
A very, very strange world
Roguelite extraction with MC finding ridiculous ways to abuse the absolute limits of everything he gets his hands on, slowly accumulating more and more options over time - leading to lots of different builds and variety to combat scenes.
A focus on making gear, potions, enchantments and other things to make different working builds in between each delve.

I hope those of you who loved 12MB will have just as good a time reading this series as I did writing it! Feedback is really welcome, especially suggestions on what Wade could do better or munchkin things you'd like to see done! If you all can find the exploit, I'll write it in.
