All my Series going forward are Novellas to Novels. Every three they will be put together into a novel for those that want the longer form.

The Boy who never was -- From the Author of Nocturne and Warborn comes his first foray into Isekai LitRPG. Let the courage of one who sacrificed everything rise to more than anyone thought him capable of. Let him carve a legend on a foreign world with a Dead God riding his bones.
The Lords of the Plains, the Numunuu, the People or as the White Man called them, the Comanche, ones who fight. A young Comanche warrior, Sparrow, isn't allowed to be a warrior. As a child he had small pox which stunted his growth. He was the son of a chief but was too small to properly ride the horses from which the Comanche were renowned much less fight from one.

He is left at the village when the warriors go on a buffalo hunt but his village is attacked by the dreaded Blue Coats (US Army), only women and children, and old men, to protect them. Sparrow shows who he is, killing many but eventually falling. When his spirit rises from his corpse he is taken into a world of mirrors and runes and is approached by an Old God from a mystical world, Tir Na Nog, who wants to live once more.

He gives Sparrow a choice, to live again, and carry the spark of a Dead God, Isahpu, the Coyote God, to be his Champion in a foreign world, one of magic and a System of power, one where Sparrow can be the warrior he always dreamt of being or to drift off into whatever after life he could find. Only one answer resonated within him, a chance to be everything he never was.
