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:

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

“This story delivers what it promises.”

Very interesting and refreshing.

A nice feel good, and not another boring go back in time i know everything. Even though its was a little like that. It was very fun and interesting. Im looking foward to more.

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.

Intriguing start to a letdown of a series

The book started with a really cool and interesting concept, but was let down by long winded (we can maybe even say... generative... writing). Such a shame.

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.

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!!
