Mage Tank

After a fatal encounter with a speeding tree, Arlo wakes in a world governed by stats, skills, and deadly Delves—ancient trials that grant immense power to those who survive them. Thrown into a high-difficulty delve with a ragtag party of suspicious strangers, he has nothing: no armor, no weapons, and no clue how the System works. Worse, the System itself seems to find his predicament hilarious. Refusing to die again, Arlo makes an unorthodox choice—ignoring Intelligence entirely and pouring every stat into Fortitude. Who needs spells or swords when you can shrug off fireballs like mild indigestion? But surviving the delve is only the beginning. His party’s distrust grows, the Delves’ secrets deepen, and the System’s whims grow ever more unpredictable. Arlo must outlast enemies, allies, and the System’s twisted sense of humor—or face a final, permanent game over.
