DIE TRYING [A Roguelite Extraction LitRPG]

Jump into a savage fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die in the process.

Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich or die trying - and that's gotten a lot more literal recently.

Stuck in retail hell with debt, rent and crippling guilt, his days were spent paycheck to paycheck between broke and completely screwed.

Until a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets.

Just one problem: It's no place for tourists. Shaped from calamity after calamity, Azdrial has transformed into the ultimate deathworld. If the people there don't kill Wade, the land itself sure will.

But with a reality-bending video game System to exploit, past gaming years as a min/maxing fanatic, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice - he might just stand a chance.

And he's gonna need it - because his starting location is marked 'Lethal Difficulty.'
