Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans.

This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters.

I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that.

I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
