Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger.

An outcast without a Path, Shiv was never supposed to amount to anything. The System ignored him, and his town despised him. But when he is murdered defending his home, the universe makes a mistake:

It gives him a second chance.

Awakening with the Path of the Deathless, Shiv is thrown into the Abyss. Here, amidst wonders and nightmares, he discovers a terrifying truth: Every time he dies, he comes back stronger.

Now, the Abyss isn't a prison—it's an all-you-can-eat buffet of XP.

And Shiv is starving.

One of the best progression series Ive read if not the best. Happy to see its finally on audible. The following books get more fascinating the more the books go on. Creativity of the abilities used and how each plot connects through out the entirety of the story is wild to go back and listen to the book that started it.

Just a start

I truly enjoyed this adventure.
If you are a fan of no holds barred brawls, fast progression, and the strive to overcome ridiculous odds this is the book for you.
*Shows doesn't tell.
*Mature romantic relationships where women are 3 dimensional human-beings, not objects.
*An intelligent protagonist who doesn't make stupid decisions to push a lazy plot along.
Enjoy!

This is a blast!
