Pete Marsh is an ordinary Level 5 Mage whose life changes forever after a disastrous dungeon expedition leaves him with a bonkers power: the ability to permanently absorb Legendary artifacts and make their powers his own.

Pete's first acquisitions transform him into something the System itself never intended, but everything changes when he accidentally absorbs Excalibur, the legendary holy sword destined to slay the Dark Lord.

With the world's greatest weapon now part of his own body, Pete becomes the only person capable of wielding its power... but also the most wanted man alive.

The Dark Lord wants him dead because he now poses a threat. The Heroine wants her sword back, even if that means killing him.

Every new Legendary artifact he absorbs makes him exponentially stronger, and an even greater prize for anyone else using the System.

Armed with an ever-growing arsenal of living Legendary weapons and artifacts, Pete must survive relentless pursuit, uncover the truth behind his unprecedented power, and grow strong enough to face a world that now sees him as the greatest treasure ever discovered.

I Used to Chase Loot… But Now I Am the Loot is a fast-paced LitRPG progression fantasy packed with satisfying power growth, memorable magical loot, dungeon delving, larger-than-life battles, and a healthy dose of humor, featuring a protagonist who literally becomes the ultimate Legendary item.
