Skully

What happens when you have nothing to lose, so you agree to become a subject in a sketchy experiment.
What happens when this experiment ends up being a game and you're an alpha tester.
What if the game wasn't in a computer but (spoiler free)
What if the Alpha testers are helping create the system the game is based on. 

I was a brash kid and after getting a war wound I became a bitter bastard. I was given a second chance at life because of something called a high qi-count. I could die, but it's all good cos my current situation sucks.

I am Benzhi and this is my story. PS I had nfi what I was in for.

No shameless author review. I want the readers to have their say.

Something about the Author.
Under my pen name Skully I have been writing online web serials since 2017.
.
I fell in love with a couple of stories, TKA and Savage Divinity and thought I'd give it a try in mid 2017. My first story was Hardcore Qi Worlds which was published on Gravity Tales and Royal Road. One of only 2 or 3 originals on Gravity Tales.
.
I felt like I made a lot of mistakes and there was a distinct lack of modern sci-fi so I started Daedalus in 2018. I published it on here under Skully_ and on Royal Road.
It's now on Amazon as 4 books and the 5th will come out this year.
.
This year I'm writing a lot more than last year. I have Spiritmaster which will go on to Kindle Vella and Amazon. And System Break is designed for webnovel.

I plan to write 1,000 chapters for System Break before its completed and the major arcs are planned.  At the 6 month mark I plan to have 380+ chapters.

System Break

The rowers let us drift through the calm waters of the wide bay. As the city shrunk on one horizon the isle in the centre of the bay grew. Unless you own a boat it looked more like a prison than a home. In the centre a tower reached for the sky.

"What's with the tower?" I asked Kysandre who kept a hand on the tiller.

She didn't look, she didn't need to the thing was a monstrosity. "It's been there since my people arrived but now it's where adventurers go to train."

"I don't know. It's always been there."

Alejo said, "There are theories. That it was created with the island. That the gatekeepers built it. But no one knows for certain, it predates all of us including the city of Loctris - where the first landing took place."
