Or to face a series of trials that seem designed to kill her rather than teach her how to survive... What could possibly be the real goal of the mysterious ‘predecessors’ that built them?What other people have to say:"This story has one of the most interesting and intricate settings I have ever encountered. Rather than simply adding magic, super-tech, or a game system to pre-existent reality, Mr Mills has elected to build from scratch starting with basic physical law. To build from the ground up and have it work is a truly outstanding feat." (Review on RoyalRoad, 5 stars)"This is one of the most unique takes on portal fantasy or Isekai I have found to date. Unlike in most LitRPGs, the main character doesn't progress easily or rapidly through gaining experience and instead progresses levels and stats through actual physical achievements or milestones. I highly recommend it and look forward to the author's future work." (Review on RoyalRoad, 5 stars)
