The Broken Vessel

Eldritch Respawn! Nash Carver didn't believe in gods, games, or destiny-until he was stabbed through the heart and woke up in a fantasy world where both were very, very real. Now he's got a character sheet burned into his vision, a creeping corruption growing in his soul, and a tentacled nightmare whispering promises of power in his ear. With a talking lizardman guide and a goblin alchemist tagging along, Nash is forced to fight his way through undead-infested dungeons, cursed graveyards, and vengeful orc clans. But the real battle? It's inside his head. If Nash can't learn to balance sword and sanity, this world won't be the only thing broken.
