Lost in a world of levels and skills, a former fireman gets a second chance at becoming the type of hero he always wanted to be, in this isekai series.
The last thing Jonathan “Tilly” Tillman remembers is the thunderous crack of a flame-engulfed building collapsing as he tried to save a little girl . . . Until a system administrator offers him a new life on Nephesh, the realm where ideals, myths, and legends clash endlessly for supremacy in the hearts of men.
Carrying all the trauma and regrets of his decades-long career as a first responder, Tilly must start from scratch—without a tutorial—in a system-governed universe. To make matters worse, on day one he finds himself facing off against a cosmic force bent on corrupting the entire realm.
Determined to stand his ground, Tilly taps into his secret love of gaming and his emerging abilities as a Son of Flame to become the hero he was always meant to be. Armed with allies, skills, and the potent power of his old nemesis, fire, he might just be able to save the world.
But Tilly’s choices have consequences . . . Ones that will shake the very foundations of Nephesh—and perhaps the nature of reality itself.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
J. J. Hutto is the author of the Son of Flame series, originally released on Royal Road. He moved often as a kid and became a fixture at various local libraries as a result. There, he studied under fantasy’s greatest authors and became obsessed with the hero’s journey, which likely inspired his career as a firefighter/first responder. Hutto currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, and is pursuing writing full-time . . . among a few other dubious professions.
