The Reforged Marine

THE PRICE OF SAVING THE WORLD: EVERYTHING. Tom Hudson's consciousness transfer to Hexen was supposed to be Earth's salvation. With his home world facing civilizational collapse from resource depletion, he volunteered for a one-way mission to gather intelligence on energy manipulation techniques that could save billions of lives. The transfer succeeded—barely. Now Tom has sixty days to master cultivation techniques that others spend lifetimes perfecting, all while his advanced military HUD marks him as an outsider in a world where tradition and mystical power rule supreme. His hybrid approach works, but it terrifies those who see his rapid advancement as impossible and heretical. Someone wants him stopped before he can complete his mission. Coordinated attacks grow deadlier. Ancient powers wake in response to abilities that shouldn't exist. Every breakthrough Tom achieves paints a larger target on his back while the countdown to his deadline continues. Earth is dying. Tom signed away his life to save it. The enemies closing in would rather see both worlds burn than allow his methods to succeed.
