Synopsis
A kingdom summoned a hero. They got Trace Veeran instead: a Level 1 drunk passed out in a Kentucky alley. So they tried to poison him. Bad move. The System made him immune to toxins. All of them. Which means the one thing that kept the nightmares quiet? Gone. No more drinking. No more numbness. Just stone-cold sobriety in a world that wants him dead. They dump him in the lower city with no gear, no skills, and no way out. But Trace Veeran is an Army Ranger with nothing left to lose. And he's always been good at one thing: refusing to die. Burden of Fate is a gritty LitRPG progression fantasy for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights with Monsters.
