He didn’t want to be a hero. But the System doesn’t care what you want.
Benji wasn’t born into power. He’s no chosen one, no noble heir. All he wanted was freedom, for himself and the wolf pups who’ve become his family.
But after surviving the siege of a frontier town and helping bring down a rising necromancer, Benji finds himself burdened with something recognition. Now, with the ruins still smoking and the dead barely buried, the System’s spotlight is on him.
And in a world ruled by levels, laws, and lineage, that’s a dangerous place to stand. Branded an outlaw for killing a corrupt noble, harassed by officials demanding coin and compliance, Benji quickly learns that saving lives means nothing when power wants you silent. Hunted through cities and courtrooms, ambushed by assassins, and drawn into ancient threats rising from the dark, Benji must fight for more than just survival.
He’ll fight for justice. For the pups. For every soul crushed beneath the boot of a broken kingdom.
He has his crossbow. He has his bonded wolves. And he’s just getting started.
Perfect for fans of progression fantasy, found family, and underdog heroes who’d rather fight than bow.
