Rat's Guide to Survival [Book one complete+short hiatus]
novel
Sixteen years. Sixteen years spent clinging to life, sixteen years ended in one instant. It wasn’t exactly a great life, but even still, he wanted to live. He wanted to live so, so desperately, and despite that, it simply didn’t matter. For all the will in the world wouldn’t be enough to keep a broken body from coming apart at the seams. Yet even still, he grasped desperately for the sky. For the light, ethereal and faint. ...Despite his strength failing him, his lifeless palm hitting the sand, his hand met something all the same. Waking in a form not his own in a world alien to him in every way conceivable, Nile is thrown into an entirely new life. A brutal land that holds him in absolutely no regard, and a body that could never be his own, given to him as little more than a cruel joke. Yet despite everything, the world saw fit to give him one last chance. Strangely, numbers and words that he should have no understanding of promise him power. Power that he can grasp, bend to his will, to grow. Power to live his life, and while it wouldn't be what he always wanted, it would still be a life. All he had to do was crawl. Rat’s Guide To Survival is equal parts number-go-up-yummy LitRPG fantasy, and an exploration into what it means to not merely survive, but to live your life to the fullest. For fans of LitRPG that find most works lacking in restraint, character, or both, RGtS will find a place in your heart. (Though in case that didn't satisfy you) What to expect! -2k long chapt
