Unbound

Felix, a man weary of Earth's dead-end jobs and failed relationships, perceived himself a coward, too afraid to embrace risk. His life took an abrupt turn when faced with a deadly encounter. Rather than surrender, he chose to risk his life and was instantaneously transported from Earth to a magical realm called "The Continent." Within this new world, Felix discovers the "System," a force that grants him the ability to grow stronger through combat and perseverance. To survive the myriad threats and monstrous inhabitants of The Continent, he must overcome his limitations. With the introduction of levels, stats, and magic, death presents a grim consequence, but survival offers the potential for an unknown transformation. This story is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge, with new chapters posted Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays.
