How many times has it been now? Hundreds? Grey no longer bothers to count. After living countless lives, and deaths, he has long grown accustomed to the pain of being thrown into a new body, a new life, and a new reality. Starting over. Again, and again.

But this time, things became very strange. The only thing he is sure about is that the dungeons are coming. And he doesn't have much time to prepare. But what can he do when he wakes up with a system for the first time and that damned system is not there to help him?

--- Author's note ---

Started as a worldbuilding exercise (that clearly got out of hand). Thank you for reading. Chapters are (usually) a little over 3000 words. Kind of slow paced to avoid information dumps. I will be reading the comments and trying to adjust what I can. First time author and all that. And the prologue (first 12 chapters) can be skipped (chapter 0 is a recap), since some people prefer to dive right into the Gamelit / LitRPG.
