They left him for dead.

Now he’s back—and he’s bringing the Tower down.

Ren Varrow was never the hero type. A quiet alchemist with a talent for potions, he kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should’ve ended.

Instead, it rewound.

Thrown back to Day One—before the Tower rose, before the betrayals—Ren knows what’s coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth’s destruction.

Armed with future knowledge and forgotten skills, he’s ready to rewrite everything.

From building a guild out of nobodies…

To crafting mythic-grade potions…

To surviving a hundred deadly floors and the guilds hunting him…

Ren is done playing nice.

The Tower’s coming—and this time, he climbs first.

Expect:

• Time-travel knowledge

• Cowardly but overpowered MC

• Alchemy, dungeoncraft, and guild wars

• Swearing and strategy

• Dystopian Earth meets leveling system

Don’t expect:

• Harem

• Romance arcs

Reader Reactions:

“All the good vibes from my days playing World of Warcraft. Fun. Funny. Satisfying.”

“Finally a redo story that keeps it simple, believable. Repeatable.”

“This story delivers what it promises.”

Scrap Rats

Excellent regressor series. Ren, the MC, carries back his memories and personality quirks and remains a believable character. He's not all powerful or all knowing, but remembers the major events that affected his first life. I highly recommend the series.

Jonathan Mulder turns in an excellent performance as the narrator.

Great Book!

I thought the book was well written and really enjoyed it. The narrator did a great job and loved the way he switched up the characters and energy of the script. I am really looking forward to the next book and ready to see how the narrator tells the story and makes the characters come to life again. Great book and I have already shared it and recommend it to several people.

Rats, what’s a story!

No one likes spending their hard earned cheddar on bad tales. Let’s just say that this book has it all chapter development, good story, and a solid return on your cheddar. Make sure to give it a shot after all street rats are king. Also cannot wait for the next book highly recommend giving the books a read if you can’t wait for the next audible!!

Great Time Travel LitRPG Story

Absolutely great story. Better written then Atlas for sure. This author is just getting better and Better.
It has a great community of characters and is not an OPMC story. Very fresh.

no politics

the story is good,,I wish all the books were on audible but only book one is available
