Mage Tank Novel

Arlo dies in a bizarre accident and awakens in a new world governed by skills, stats, and levels. In this realm, adventurers who brave ancient Delves gain immense supernatural power. Thrown into a high-difficulty Delve with a group of unfamiliar and disconnected companions, Arlo is completely unprepared, lacking armor, weapons, and any knowledge of his surroundings. His party grows suspicious of his lack of readiness and flimsy explanations for his presence, while the System appears to view his predicament as a cosmic jest. Determined to survive, Arlo strategically invests all his points into Fortitude, foregoing his high Intelligence. He embraces a strategy where extreme resilience negates the need for conventional equipment or combat skills, allowing him to withstand even magical attacks. This comedic LitRPG adventure blends epic fantasy with horror themes, graphic violence, and explicit language, featuring intelligent characters making deliberate build choices. Progression is gradual, with Arlo's life filled with constant danger and significant consequences.
