‘Sometimes I feel like I’m in a bad luck loop: wake up, trip on the rug, spill coffee, repeat.’

Set on Earth in the modern day (well, Earth-like… cuz lawyers), this is a weak-to-strong LitRPG story with a twist.

So grab a Grepsi Cola and read about a guy who is literally the world’s unluckiest person… until the System shows up and decides to make his suffering productive.

‘Why am I sooooo unlucky?’

A million people have said it. In the case of Malick Tychandros, it’s scientifically, spiritually, cosmically accurate.

Bad things always happen to him.

Bird flies by? Direct hit.

Car running fine? Not anymore.

Shoelaces? Untied at the worst possible moment.

Interview? Cancelled.

Date? Allergic to him somehow.

Then one day, he gets a System that changes everything.

Dun, dun, dun. Dramatic music.

But this isn’t just stats and skills.

Now seven Sins and seven Virtues are awake inside his head—Gluttony whispering about indulgence, Pride demanding greatness, Sloth promising comfort. On the other side: Justice weighing every action, Temperance urging restraint, Charity pushing sacrifice.

They argue. They tempt. They judge.

They don’t just want him to level up.

They want to decide what kind of man he becomes.

And if he survives long enough to raise all his stats, he might get something beyond the dreams of any human.

This is a light comedy with a LitRPG system. No dark conspiracies. No world-ending apocalypse. Just one unlucky guy, a System, and fourteen cosmic personalities fighting over his life choices.
