"We’re the odd ones."   This was the one sentence that stuck with Eric as he and his friends took a moment to relax after having cleared an incursion that appeared near their settlement. In the few days since Earth was integrated into the System, Eric and his friends have already proven themselves as worthy inhabitants of their new world. They faced off against an outer god, defeated monsters specially designed to help take over worlds and an even greater foe, governance, or a dumbed down version of it at least.  Follow as Eric discovers secrets about the System and cripples himself in more ways than one, yet is always rewarded—in ways that seem too much or too little. Watch as his friends have to make up for what he lacks using their own strengths and secrets. All while the System carefully maintains a balance that isn't always obvious at first. Schedule: Mon - Wed - Fri Average chapter length: 2000 - 2500 words This is a rerelease of my first and only work, The First Vanguard (now deleted). I decided to remove it because I considered it to be too rushed and full of things I ultimately didn't like. The pace I set for myself before led to a story that I wasn't satisfied with, so this time around, I'm taking my time to craft a story that I truly enjoy.
