Eight
Samer Rabadi
Life's tough when you're trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home — a 64-year-old man — and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall on a world full of magic and hungry creatures. The gate guard drives him off thinking he's a monster. With decades of Earth wisdom, Eight must survive through bushcraft, fire-making, spear-crafting, and learning a new magic System. He carves a home in the wilderness, befriends locals and spirits (including Ikfael and the Deer God), learns civilization's tools, hunts killers and dark warriors, and faces political schemes, ghosts, giant beasts, and the Long Dark. Now sixteen, he defends both the Glen and Voorhei while unraveling secrets of Old Baxteiyel, the Arc of Knowledge, and Maltran conspiracies — with each book expanding his survival, magic, and leadership.
