In a world of secrets, he who holds the answers holds the power.

Nathan Cheng, known professionally as Nil, is anything but ordinary. With his fourth consecutive game jam win in the bag, he has a lot of big ideas for his own game studio, though he lacks the resources to make them real. Even if he did, the gaping hole in his heart from the untimely death of his sister last year has left him angry and bitter. If only he could have been there.

When he wakes up in an arcane world with a system he knows very well, he’s given an ultimatum: defeat the dark king...or die. If he can succeed, he can return home on the day before his sister was murdered. The catch is, like every light warrior, he must begin at level one.

Nil must use his knowledge of the system to empower himself before he's overwhelmed by the armies of the dark. It's a good thing he has a perfect memory.

The System of Nil is a deep litRPG series where the game system is far more complex than it appears, with thousands of hidden secrets and mechanics. Every powerful weapon, item, and skill is gated behind tricks, traps, and unimaginable horrors. To prevail, Nil must be a skilled warrior, investigator, crafter, and monster hunter. It’ll take more than just brains. He’ll need a mountain of grit and guts. But that’s just fine. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
