"In some way unknowable but instinctively felt, Pneuma was both royalty and a monster. To be respected and feared. Trint was in awe. He wasn't even sure what Pneuma looked like… but his fear was justified."
Trint, an average, middle-aged nobody who suffered a terrible encounter, finds himself thrown for a loop when Earth is integrated into the Iterations. He must ascend through level-gated realms till he either hits the top or dies.
Adopted by a mysterious family Dynasty, Trint receives an equally-mysterious companion and faces his greatest challenge yet: he must now succeed at becoming a monster-wrecking machine or he will never recover what he lost.

Author Background
This is my very first time writing a story. The first time I've shared it with more than one person. I know it's not perfect, but I'd appreciate any comments you wish to share. Be honest but respectful, and I know I can get better.
I hope someone enjoys this story as much as I did writing it.
Story Elements:
The story included LitRPG elements that help build the world but will not have constant readouts of stat sheets.
There will be nothing rated beyond PG-13 romantically/sexually.
Violence is the main contributor to reader discretion. This will be a story involving violent battles and detailed death.
The first two posted chapters were rewritten July 16, 2022. Thanks
