Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol. 

With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.

To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.

Even though Aito doesn't agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.

He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.

Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans. 

Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left. 

He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path. 

But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage. 

A single desire. 

"I will find redemption no matter the cost."

"Who put this guy in the synopsis narration!? Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!"

-The MC is human. If you're looking for a perfect MC, you'll only be wasting your time here. However, if you're looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you're in the right place. 

- No harems. However, it doesn't mean the characters can't fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn't necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires. 

- Discord server shared with other authors: https://discord.gg/ZtxAQeHYAj

- Update schedule: 6 chap/week. No chap on Sundays.

- You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I'll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho. 

- The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.

- The book can, never mind, it will contain “strong” language, gore and violence. 

- Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.

- I do not own the cover. If the original owner sees it and is displeased with his work being displayed here, send me a mail: writer.yoanroturier@gmail.com 

- By the way, if any of you are willing the provide me with an original cover picture, I’ll be really, extremely, immensely thankful. (The possibility of that happening is downright impossible tho.)

- If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.

Return of the Woodcutter

Following the dinner came the time most challengers used to absorb the soul cores they had collected during daytime.

Aito finally absorbed all the human soul cores in his possession, however, he had yet to level up. He could feel his soul eating the others, but it didn't grow larger any longer. It was like his soul was saving up energy for something.

The most annoying was, Aito could feel level 2 was within his reach. He just needed a little extra push. He had his fill for today, though. More and it could become dangerous.

It would take some time before his soul digested the others. So now was not the moment. Tomorrow, however, he would definitely level up. At least he hoped so.
