Synopsis

The Vecora Continent is home to three countries of great power, each with its own grudges, desires, and internal machinations.

Athios. An alliance of belligerent city-states that make up the southern region, whose borders are being encroached on by hungry neighbors.

Theurgard. A clannish collective located in the freezing northern steppes of Vecora. With the passing of time, it has evolved into a hawkish empire, whose frostbitten populace hungrily stares toward the more temperate south.

Finally, Rochan. A kingdom made up of traders, merchants, seafarers, and ambitious adventurers. They call the Delane Peninsula their home, sandwiched between Athios and Theugard. Rochan has found itself benefiting off the other two's skirmishes, though such gold has created dangerously ambitious nobles.

And living on this continent, is Gary.

Neither his name nor personality would suggest Gary would ever have an impact on the world. Generally unpleasant and of average talent, he would have been lucky to be put down as a footnote in history. He is a greedy, lying, sorry excuse of a team leader who is more than willing to risk it all for some gold.

But stuck in a dire situation, Gary experiences a freak accident, one that leads him either to the end of the world, or a chance at greatness. Living in a world with scheming nobles and existential doom, Gary must change his actions, and become something he was never meant to be: a hero.

Or... at least pretend to be one.

Like many of my predecessors, I am also leaving a review of my own novel. However, this isn't a promotion. More of a... heads-up, perhaps? Either way, I felt the need to provide a bit more information to any readers scrolling through the review section. First of all, the world-building is a bit sparse as of ch 26. That should change after the introduction is over and the group is back home (A slight spoiler, though I doubt anyone didn't see it coming.) This is also my first novel, so I apologize in advance if any portions feel choppy or of lower quality. Feel free to leave a comment concerning it. I have a lot of ideas for this novel, but the delivery may fall short at times. Especially during fight scenes. It is an unfortunate reality, though one I strive to overcome with time and practice. That said, I would appreciate it if you give me and my writing a chance. I have a long ways to go as an author, but I still hope that my work has enough merit to be viewed as an enjoyable read. Sincerely, Dontlookdown

Great quality, and is described perfectly. The mc's mentality is very understandable, especially how he reacts in a given situation. This story is clean and the tags are accurate. The author did a great job, I love it.

The concept is fresh, the main character is not a good guy but he isn't evil, he is what I can only describe as a relatable human being, overall the story pacing is nice, the story itself is intriguing, and the characters feel alive. I recommend this story if you have had too much of the same super evil or super good MC story.

The main character is as fun as they get. The writing quality is fabulous, the author has me completely hooked, its well written . I'd like to commend the author over keeping it a bit on the slow development side and still not boring but interesting.

The language is clean, and more importantly, the division of lines is just right ! That said, this book is a light adventure, a mix between our game like monster-action-itemdrop and the prose like a full fledged novel. I like it, try it, you just might like it.

A befitting of an adventurer. Gary sure is a fresh protagonist of a fantasy novel. This is what I have been seeking all this time, a well desired for wealth. I hope you keep making new chapters as I pass by. Good job fellow novelist!
