Getting kidnapped by the System and dumped into a fantasy world wasn’t on Elias Critchley’s to-do list. Still, he’s managed to stay alive, level up, and keep most of his insides on the inside. Now the System’s sent him and his party to a crumbling estate with a haunted past, a grieving lord, and a boy only Elias can see—one who isn’t quite alive, but may not be dead either. The task? Fix it all. Quietly. Preferably without being eaten by anything with too many teeth. But with XP gains mysteriously throttled, creepy shadows around the estate, and the System seemingly taking things very personally, Elias will need every scrap of luck, wit, and teamwork he can get.
A darkly funny progression fantasy full of dodgy quests, genuine heart, and one slightly grumpy protagonist who never asked for any of this.
What a fun read. Something to sit down and enjoy while the world and all its problems fly by. Fun characters, and a system that is a well developed character in its own right. Fun and unique story.
Seriously, no interest whatsoever. It took a mid tier storyline and plot and turned it into something that was less appealing than listing to my ac system run.
