1% Lifesteal

A LitRPG Adventure

An action-packed LitRPG Apocalypse perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Road to Mastery, and The Ten Realms.

In a world of countless enemies, Freddy's unique power will help him thrive.

Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned—twice—he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman.

His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself in possession of 1% Lifesteal, a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses.

With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least.

But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body?

Or will that part of him simply remain broken...

Experience the start of this action-packed LitRPG Adventure from Robert Blaise set two hundred years after a reality-altering apocalypse. Featuring a weak-to-strong Brawler MC who never backs down, a unique power system, apocalyptic elements and more!

like the believable reactions

I will admit if you're looking for a overpowered mc, this might not be for you. if you like good storytelling and progression give it a try.

MC gets beaten to hell

Author throws the MC through the ringer in a very compelling way. Guy just keeps getting beaten down and getting back up. Will definitely try the next in the series.

Imagine Losing Everything....

Dark fantasy meets smart progression in this grim, glorious gem. 1% Lifesteal keeps the tension high and the worldbuilding sharp. Every choice matters, and nothing comes easy. If you enjoy stories that make you earn every victory, you’re going to love this one.

MC can not catch a break

I understand that the MC didn’t go to school but he has been working since he was 13 and he’s 21 now,the utter lack of common knowledge was to unbelievable. Another thing that bothered me in the beginning was how absurdly different his inner monologue was from when he actually talked to anyone I know that could be due to him being antisocial but still.Now don’t get me wrong I really like the story especially the power system but man the last 2 chapters I kept saying DAMN cause the suffering was nonstop at that JESUS LOL.

Slow burn grand tale

Great narration, great characters, and excellent spectacle. I’m already into the next one. It’s funny but not idiotic. It’s grim but not depressing.
