An action-packed and gritty Progression Fantasy LitRPG from CB Titus, bestselling author of Armor and Downtown Druid.

Titles are Earned. Deeds are Written. Power is Forged in the Blood of Battle.

Michael didn't want to die. He didn't deserve to die. After a lost battle with cancer that started only a year after he retired, he'd lived what many people would call a full life, but it wasn't enough.

He wanted more time.

When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it. Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted to live.

Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to be a Penitent, a soldier in the country he was reborn into in order to pay a debt to society he owes for taking the life of the child whose body he inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

Because titles are earned. Deeds are written. And power is forged in the blood of battle.

Experience the start of a gritty Progression Fantasy LitRPG series where every scar earned is a power granted and every deed written on the soul can change the fate of kingdoms.

Perfect for fans of The Iron Prince, Bastion, Iron Blooded, and A Soldier's Life!

somewhere in-between litrpg and progression fantasy, playing with the premise of guilt over stolen life.

Hands down best new book I've listened to in a while. Great story telling and well paced. So much more room for expansion. Narration was brilliant as usual from Heath. Hurry up book 2......

Awesome

Sooo, I've chewed through well over 100 books in this genre, so for the sake of keeping it short, this is pretty much the perfect LitRPG. It has the perfect mix of a brutal fantasy world, amazing world building, and great character development. The MC is actually smart, the progression system is handled really well, and the characters feel like actual people instead of cardboard cutouts.

It's just that good. I could honestly keep going, but then we'd be here all day. So I'll just say this: if you're looking for a god-tier LitRPG or simply an amazing fantasy series, this absolute godsend of an author has you covered. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

One of the best so far
