Darius was born to be a weapon, wielded by another. Now there's no one left to hold him back.
Born into a bloodline of executioners bound to serve, Darius mastered his family's Blade Technique with a talent that outgrew his station. But the same duty that sharpened his edge dulled everything else. In the end, all he had to show for a life of obedience was an empty title and an equally empty purpose.
When the Emperor fell to rebellion, so did Darius. Executed by the usurpers of the very throne he served. Only, death didn’t take him.
Instead, he woke in an unfamiliar world, deep in a dungeon crawling with rotten skeletons, towering beasts…and a System that rewarded him more than his service ever did. But he wasn’t alone with just monsters—beyond the dungeon waited kingdoms of steel and sorcery, each with their own stake in the weapon he was becoming.
Second Life Executioner is an Epic Fantasy Isekai LitRPG perfect for fans of Past Life Hero, Iron Blooded, and Ajax's Ascension.
I wasn't sure what I'd find when I started this book, but I was surprised to find something this damn good.
From start to end, I was never disappointed. Good pacing, excellent world building and development. The setting is interesting and I'm looking forward to more.
Definitely an author and series I'll be watching for more of.
I DNF the sample from Amazon. The MC levels absurdly fast - every time he kills a creature he gets between 1 and 3 level. His skills also jump 1 to 3 levels after each kill. And it is not like he is doing some epic battles so he learns a lot - no, he kills everything with 1 hit. No explanation why he progresses so fast or why he wins fights against higher level opponents effortlessly.
This is like an old sitcom bottle episode. Completely self contained with minimal characters, very cheap and easy. They're is no worlds building, no character development, and no meaningful storyline. This is all set up and character creation, just a bunch of number padding. A huge letdown given the description, and a very cheap start.
It was a good book but not exactly what I like sounds he's going the monster villain route not something I enjoy reading I might try the next but I dunno
