When you've hit rock bottom, the only direction to go is up.

Getting hit by a truck didn't Isekai Arthur ward, but he did wake up in a world forever changed. When Earth evolves, passing a threshold few even knew existed, humanity is whisked away by the Grand System to engage in an educational Tutorial to bring them up to speed, the introduction of the new energy source that has been made available: Ether. Arthur Ward is left behind, bleeding out on the sidewalk. The world has evolved, upgraded, and mankind must change with it in order to survive. Animals have become deadly monsters that prowl the streets, dimensional incursions are a constant threat, and Arthur is forced to adapt or die. With new rules to live by and a path to redemption before him, Arthur now has a way to right his wrongs. At least he thinks so. After all, nothing is quite impossible when you can rewrite reality itself. The path to power, however, is a slippery slope. Achieving his goals will test Arthur in ways he'd never expected. This is the first book in a LitRPG fantasy series with 800,000 views on Royal Road. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, The Primal Hunter, and Road to Mastery! Expect an MC with multiple magic affinities, Muay Thai, a combination of human progression mixed with monster core consumption, title collection, and no harem.
