Runeforged: Path of the Paladin

A zero-to-hero LitRPG Adventure about an isekai'd server using restaurant-honed reflexes to survive a new world. From the restaurant floor to a monster-smiting warrior. Ben Crawford was a simple restaurant manager, more worried about dodging Karens than cosmic horrors. That changed the moment he woke up naked in a void, stared into the eyes of death, and was spat out into the fantasy world of Ark. On Ark, power is everything, and Runebinding magic is the key to survival. Ben shouldn't be able to use it, but he can—and he's learning faster than anyone should. To some, he is a dangerous anomaly that must be purged. To others, he is a rare type of warrior who can smite monsters that should be invincible. With a snarky, beer-swilling spirit guide named Ted riding shotgun in his soul, and a fire-breathing, seven-tailed dog named Red at his side, Ben must navigate a world where the gods are dead and politics are more lethal than the monsters. To survive what’s coming, Ben must forge a new path. And if he has to punch a few gods and win a planet-wide tournament just to find a decent cup of coffee, then so be it. The smiting starts now in this LitRPG Adventure featuring a zero-to-hero protagonist who uses restaurant-honed reflexes to survive magical warfare in a new world and become an apex predator. Fans of He Who Fights with Monsters, Guardian of Aster Fall, and The Last Paladin will love this high-octane blend of action, snark, and explosive progression.
