Ongoing

Orphaned militia soldier Orodan Wainwright dies in a world-ending Cataclysm and wakes up at the start of it — again and again. Rather than scheming like a clever time-looper, he does what he has always done: throw himself at the wall until it breaks. In a world where skill levels are everything, stubbornness turns out to be its own kind of power.

John Sutton spent a decade as his empire's most destructive battle mage.

With every enemy he kills, he grows fractionally stronger and heals any wound. The question is not whether his body will break — it will not. The question is whether his mind will.
