From combat zones to law school lectures, ex-cavalry scout thought he'd left the fighting behind. But when reality fractures and a twisted game system descends on his university, his battlefield instincts might be the only thing keeping him alive. As floating screens replace PowerPoint presentations and goblins stalk the hallways, Daniel Ward must navigate a world where combat skills matter more than case law. With the Draco constellation burning in his blood and three days before all normal food rots away, he'll need to master this new reality fast—or join his professors in the growing body count. He's faced down insurgents and survived ambushes, but nothing in his military career prepared him for leveling up between classes or fighting dungeon bosses in the campus gym. In this deadly new world of stats and skills, his greatest test won't be memorizing legal precedents—it'll be staying alive long enough to reach level two. And in a game where every student is now a potential rival, trust might be the deadliest weapon of all.
