John Harper was just another gamer with a dead-end job until a malfunctioning rig catapulted him into a brutal world of Norse-like warriors, savage beasts, and merciless winters. Summoned by mistake, the villagers had hoped for a heroic warrior. Instead, they got John—a reluctant necromancer with a penchant for sarcastic quips and a death-themed LitRPG system at his disposal. Now, with raiders on the horizon, wolves at the gates, and the ominous shadow of the Black Warden looming, John must forge a path of bones to protect the people who grudgingly call him their savior. Armed with skeletal minions, strategic traps, and his own desperate ingenuity, he’ll face unrelenting odds and unlock powers far beyond his understanding. But each spell cast and level gained pulls him closer to a darker truth: the same power he wields might be the key to his downfall—or the world’s salvation. Bone to Pick is a fast-paced LitRPG tale blending Viking lore, strategic combat, and undead armies into a gripping saga. Fans of The Wandering Inn and Dungeon Crawler Carl will feel right at home in this snow-bitten world of grit, growth, and reluctant heroism. Join John as he discovers the cost of power, the bonds of unlikely allies, and the strength to stand against a world that demands his defeat.
