About Ruthless Lord - An LitRPG Fantasy Adventure

Mercy can have teeth. Jasper Kramer never wanted fame. He wanted to be useful. He is a ritual engineer with a calm mind and busy hands. When assassins hit his town and a laughing god offers him power, Jasper refuses the easy path. He will not kneel to Light or Dark. He chooses a third path. Dragged into the world of Ivarn, Jasper becomes a Sanctuary Core under the town he loves. Not a slaughterhouse. A living dungeon that trains, heals, and protects. His traps teach. His puzzles guide. His walls move to shield people first. When predators come, his mercy bites back. A sprite named Pen joins him. A stubborn stone-ram called Bram guards his floors. The guild learns to lead under fire. Paladins and assassins press a lawful siege. A laughing god sends an avatar. Jasper stands anyway-one rule at a time. He will be ruthless... for the right things.
