The Greatest Healer in human history dies to the spear of an ancient race.
That is how his life ends—defeated by the hands of someone who should be his equal in levels, yet stands so far above him in power and scale. He and his entire party are crushed by a single figure from an ancient race that treats human magic like an untimely joke.
John refuses that ending.
He rises from a deep sleep, regressed to the beginning of it all, mere moments before the System initializes, armed with a decade of hard-earned knowledge and one opportunity to rewrite everything. He knows where the best loot is, where the biggest wars start, who the most evil people are that hide among the masses, which paths to take to unlock the best skills, and which paths forge the monsters needed to survive what he knows is coming.
He knows which floors and dungeons to avoid like the plague and exactly how fast their destruction comes when humanity wastes time playing politics and arguing over scraps instead of growing more powerful.
This time, John doesn't just cast healing and support buffs from the backline.
He takes a path none thought possible, an Undying Healer, forcing the world to contend with a front-liner who is also the greatest healer humanity has ever known. He must learn to fight in the mud, on the wall, blade and spear in hand, face to face with the monsters he has avoided for so long, all the while casting mighty healing spells through a tier-locked System that insists he shouldn't be able to.
The System doesn't care if humanity is wiped out.
Ancient races plot and plan to destroy them.
Beings of immense power want humanity as nothing more than free experience.
Interesting premise. A little too much lactic acid and roaring during the initial System integration. Some of the dungeons sounded really really icky. MMC definitely has some PTSD from his first life which is completely understandable. I really like Ryan. Got me in the feels when MMC is reunited with his adventuring party and it doesn't go as he hoped. Looking forward to more.
A very solid start to what I hope will be a good series. A bit number crunchy at the start, but not terrible. Some slight inconsistencies but very rare. This novel is a perfect quick read for those that enjoy the classic sys-apoc regressor genre. The MC is well thought out and feels like a real human (most of the time), experiencing flawed judgement and bias that even he is not exempt from. Good work, author
For the most part. I really liked this book. It was quite a fun read. The problem is that the ending is horrid. It's going along, and then it's just over. Whether this is to generate buzz or becaus3 it is on Pateron, I don't know. It is annoying
Recommended, just with a major caveat regarding the cliffhanger ending that a lot of authors seem to like.
I was so engrossed that the ending snuck up on me! Ugh. Now begins the waiting for the next book. I highly recommend reading this book. It is a bit of a new take on the theme of “what if you could do it all over again?” Worth it!
I really enjoyed this story. The MC works hard to take advantage of what they learned the first time through the apocalypse while over time discovering that not everything is the same. Definitely looking forward to the next book!
