The Cycle of the Gambler

Axle, once orphan, now effective merc-for-hire, lives on his own terms. He works when he wants, kills the monsters to protect the innocent, and tries to get some peace when he's not.

So, when he died, he expected that to be it, maybe a little burning. (Hell, it could be really, really, really, really, fucking hot) He'd long made his peace. But no. He's a reincarnator, a being who splits off of the source, and refuses to return to it. He's given a chance, in a new world, to make another choice. Once an orphan, then a mercenary, now he needs to find a new reason.

-Life, Death, and a not so 'plot armor' walk between the two, eventually

-Minor, nonintelligent system gets hacked and remade. I wouldn't call it a litrpg, it has a system but that's its own storyline.

-Laid-back mc with an eye for detail and an active mind, morality may not be what some consider a 'good' man, but I don't write heroes and I try not to write villains.

-Magic works by frame and intent, and frame is questionable unless you're a technical user. Yes, even the new mage can make a miracle. But what do they pay?

-reincarnation and past life shenanigans, with a Phoenix and the ability to hide from death did you think anything less is appropriate?

-A Creator, multiple actually, and even how to become one, slowly, of course.

-Weak to strong, or maybe inner strength to authorial power?

Currently at 45 chapters. I do use AI to catch typos and edit, I write my own story and soon you'll be able to see my attempts on youtube.
