The Ill Starred Knight (Middle-aged MC, Underdog, Idle Clicker, Broken Build)

George wakes in a white room with no memory, a ticking countdown, and a single red button.

He's fifty-year-old father trapped inside a deadly idle game. Even worse, George's entire progression path appears to involve clicking a button over and over while stronger players carve their way through the game around him.

Then he receives a cheat-code ability. Suddenly, the more danger George faces, the sharper his mind becomes and the more time slows around him.

What begins as a desperate fight for survival slowly transforms George into something terrifying—a time-bending knight in magical armor with an AI sidekick in his head.
