In the Gliese 268 system, lying 20 light years away from our earth, exists a highly advanced species called Glinos, their technology far exceeds that of humanity.

There are three expected major themes to this work:
1) Protagonist reforms his body so that he's not out of shape or constantly in pain.
2) Reforming his giant physical mess of an environment into a functional heroic manufacturing setup.
3) His ongoing unpleasant mental experiences.... more>>

In other words, it's a grind.

Like any good story, there is plenty of room for progression.
He starts out with a bunch of psychological issues and a good few physical ones. Additionally, he has the means to live modestly but still to spend his hours in pursuit of the plot.
Unlike most good stories, ... well, a lot of things. But importantly, there is NO GUARANTEE of success. If he is unsuccessful, this project will be dropped. There is no room for fantastical plot armor in this story; His final saga could very well end in demoralized failure.

The "Game Elements" tag is for the personal status sheet, which is a fairly arbitrary documentation of his performance at various sets of exercises, and other discernible attributes.

The story uses a first person narrative.

The Gore / Sexual Content / Etc tags are there because the contents might discuss such things. Definitely not the focus of the story. MC usually doesn't use "Strong Language", at least at the beginning. But he might develop into such a character.

It’s rated M, intended for mature audiences only due to sensitive subject matters such as: mental illness, addiction, trauma, violence (typical of the setting), and vulgar language. <<less

Family love, fake friends, true friends, being contented(or not), defining grades, loving God, questions and questions and other questions. <<less

Maribel was just going on with her life, nothing too exciting really, when all of a sudden she's in a random forest with no idea or memory of how the hell she got there. ... more>>

Going from Modern Earth, to what seems to her an Alternate Historical Fantasy World, was going to be a headache to get through and survive. Throwing romance into the mix was not going to make it any easier especially if the one courting her happens to be in the nobility. That is just asking for trouble but its not like she can say no to any help being offered considering her situation. At least her helping save this very handsome and surprisingly nice dude may lead to her not dying in the fucking wilderness.

Too bad for Maribel she came across someone who would heavily impact her new life in this new Universe after having just arrived in it. Whether it would be in a positive or negative manner still had to be seen though.

[This might be a slow paced story since I'm new to writing so if you don't like that. Then this story might not be to your taste. =w=] <<less

**Despite putting each chapter through an editing phase, I still tend to see mistakes and typos so please, take this story as anything but a final draft.

as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”.
now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel.
the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people.
i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen.
