Subtitle: I'm cursed to die 100 times.   Earth is in Turmoil. Youngsters are vanishing left and right. Rumors of the end of the world, of Gods and dimensional travel start to get traction. To one New York computer engineer, it is about to become reality. Loki needs a champion to further the Asgardian's plans. The Half-Jotunn deity needs to do it in secret, though. It wouldn't do to ruin thousands of years of plotting by being careless now. Tossed into a barbaric world and burdened by daunting curses, this person needs to learn and grow. A monumental task that cannot be undertaken in a single life. An invader in a virginal world, Loki's champion must escape prosecution by the local pantheon. All the while living dozens upon dozens of lives, growing and evolving along an uncaring and rather brutal world. This champion will go from the lowest of organisms to the top of that world's food chain. They shall seize what seems to be ultimate power, only to discover there's an even higher peak. And maybe, just maybe, escape Loki's wicked machinations. And if that's not possible, at least save a little spot of the multiverse from the end of all things.    Winner in the 2022 November writing contest.
