Die. Respawn. Repeat.

Every time he dies, Ethan gains a little more power. Earth was chosen for Integration, but Ethan Hill knows from the second his Trial begins that the Integration is a lie. The beings giving Earth the 'honor' of access to their System Interface want something from Earth-he just doesn't know what. Now he's trapped on an alien planet and lost in a time loop, fighting for strength and for his own humanity. One thing's for sure: He'll die as many times as it takes to tear it all down. Don't miss the start of this action-packed Progression Fantasy seemlessly merging aspects from Apocalyptic LitRPG's like He Who Fights with Monsters and Time Loop stories like Mother of Learning.

A coming doomsday and not nearly enough power to stop it. Yet. With Ethan Hill, time never runs out. Ethan's gathered a base of power for himself, but he isn't the only one with access to the Interface. An attempt to find friends lost in time ends with him matching wits with a Trialgoer, one who's long since beaten her Trial and now controls all aspects of life in her perfect, crystalline city. “She-Who-Whispers” is both controller and puppet master of everything that happens within the so-called perfect city of Isthanok. She hears everything that happens within her city, controls every action and reaction by her people. That perfection is threatened only by the city's few rebels... and now also by Ethan, who sees her perfectionism for what it really is. An extension of the Integrators and their control. Whisper might have power on her side, but Ethan has time. Time, information, and allies both new and old. His dive into the Interface and the extent of what he can do is only just beginning. He'll unravel the secrets of the Trials, and when he does, the Integrators themselves won't be able to stop what's coming. Book 2 of this action-packed LitRPG Apocalypse Progression Fantasy seamlessly merging aspects from Apocalyptic System LitRPG's like “He Who Fights with Monsters” and “Primal Hunter”, with time loop stories like “Mother of Learning”.

The Empty City hides powerful secrets, and Ethan Hill is determined to uncover them. Disaster has been averted-for now. Earth is still in danger, and the Integration marches ever onward. Yet Ethan's journey has found him stronger than ever, and his experiences in the loops have left him on the cusp of grasping skills that can disrupt the flow of time itself. The Empty City looms ahead, holding within it answers to both the nature of Firmament and the purpose of Integration. His allies' sacrifices linger behind, driving him forward. And new forces are emerging, some eager for revenge, others vying for control of him and all that he represents. They'll soon learn that Ethan is a force unto himself... and like any good force, he's left ripples in his wake, causing new allies to rise behind him.
