When the sky fractures and the Ragnarök Protocol boots, reality gets patch notes. Streets sprout rune-locked dungeons. Wolves the size of pickup trucks prowl the suburbs. Everyone wakes up with a stat screen—and most people still manage to make bad choices with it.

Daniel Cole, burned-out EMT with a talent for ugly problems, refuses to kneel to a god or a clan. He builds a neutral field hospital under a red banner, then learns the new world doesn’t care about neutrality. To keep civilians breathing and his crew in one piece, he’ll have to game a system written by gods who love loopholes: scout the seams, hijack venting sanct-fire, and turn enemy buffs into opportunities.

Clans want territory. A rules-lawyer Warden wants obedience. A serpent in the code wants Daniel to enjoy this a little too much.

Survive Day One.
Outthink the dungeon-patches.
Make the system bleed before it makes you kneel.

Expect: Norse monsters, siege-puzzle encounters, hard choices with visible consequences, meaningful crafting and gadgets, a found-family ‘Hospitium’ you’ll want to defend, and a morally gray lead who saves people first and apologizes to gods never.

Perfect for fans of sharp, progression-driven LitRPG with Viking teeth—fast, cinematic, no harem, no filler. If you like clever builds, brutal set pieces, and a hero who weaponizes compassion, Midgard Merge is your next obsession.
