DIE TRYING [A Roguelite Extraction LitRPG]

Michael Wade’s life was a dead-end grind—until a desperate god offers him a way out. Every night, his bedroom becomes a portal to a ruined fantasy world drowning in magic and monsters. His mission: smuggle treasure back to Earth, exploit a reality-bending System, and maybe—just maybe—get rich. But this isn’t some heroic fairy tale. The chosen ones failed centuries ago, leaving behind a shattered land where gold glitters atop corpses. For every spellbook or enchanted artifact, there’s a creature eager to turn him into lunch. Armed with min-maxing instincts, a god’s cryptic texts, and sheer audacity, Michael dodges death while bending the rules of the System to his advantage. Survival isn’t guaranteed—but quitting isn’t an option. Michael will get rich, or die trying.
