((Minor Spoiler and Warning at the bottom of the blurb. Please read all the way through.))

The war with Gaelis has gone poorly for Alex’s foes and well for his allies. He’s enriched himself, empowered his county with that coin, and built his county ever higher.

The war swings in favor of his Duchess.

Yet the war still goes on. The end doesn’t seem to be near, nor does Alex feel as if is as simple as he’d once thought it.

Alex would rather settle down in his county and live a quiet and enjoyable life. One filled with familial things and friends. Where he could make his county the pride of the empire in peace.

Because he’d already gotten to the top once before. He’d climbed the corporate ladder in his previous life and missed out on really having one.

Having friends. Or just a family.

Now Alex wants only for the simple things. Things that have no place on the battlefield, kingdom politics, or the courts.

That of course doesn’t matter much when fate is concerned. Or really everyone else in the empire. They all have their own plans that all seem to run counter to Alex’s.

Fortunately, Alex has been preparing. Making changes and building his foundation and seat of power ever higher.

He’s empowered the people he relies on and in. His armies are expertly trained and almost over- equipped. His treasury is overflowing and ready to be spent.

Even with all of that, Alex isn’t sure it’ll be enough for what he believes is coming.

Because spring is here. And that means roads will be opening. Passes will be traversable.

Making it possible for armies to march.

Which means it’s time for Alex to get back to work. Because more than ever he has a lot to lose, including his newborn children. If he wants to keep them safe, he’s going to have to ride to war once again.

And end it once and for all no matter the cost.

Warning: This novel explores dark subjects, and what people will give up of themselves, and each other, to get what they want. The main character is written as a real person in a tough situation and will not make choices that line up with societal and cultural norms.

It contains adult themes and moral ambiguities.

As with my previous work, explicit scenes are found within. It has violence and a harem relationship.

In a world full of super powers, Felix had a pretty crappy one. After learning to harness his ability to modify any item he owns, he now runs a corporation that is rapidly expanding. Legion. After tangling with the local Heroes guild they’ve finally settled into a semblance of stability. Sounds great on paper. Run your company, make money, be your own boss, settle down. Except that with running a business, comes an inordinate amount of responsibilities. Like making sure everything keeps running and your people are paid. Worrying about the longevity of his company, Felix begins to expand into other cities. So they’ve packed up the car, put in all the requisite forms, gotten the approvals, and set out to start Legion up in a new city. The problem though is the local government had no idea who they were selling permits to. Approving forms for. To Felix and Legion. And now they’re about to find out.

Wrench is a Fixer.

Someone born to maintain, fix, and correct any and every issue that could go wrong in the Habitat that he lives in. To make sure he and his fellow humans can remain on display and entertain their owners as any good human pet would.

Or at least that’s what he was born to be.

He’d taken a different route in his life and had joined a resistance faction to help free Humanity. To gain their freedom and become more than just pets to an alien race.

Now at the end of that life, and realizing what a waste all his effort had been, Wrench is going to find himself given a chance to go back to his youth and relive his life.

Though with two caveats.

He’s going to be granted a super-power.

A super power where he has the ability to alter anything and everything in regards to his own body.

From forcing his body to heal faster, to speeding up his perception of time so that everything runs in slow-motion.

That power came with a price tag, of course.

It came at the low cost of a favor in the distant future from the man who’d be giving him his do-over.

Accepting the deal, since being alive is far more beneficial to being dead, Wrench is thrown back into the past.

To live his life all over again.

Live it in whatever way he sees fit, whether it be rejoining the resistance, living as a Fixer and taking a leadership role, or just finding a wife and having kids.

Or utilizing his newfound super-power that lets him alter anything and everything about his own body’s systems to become something completely different.

Regardless of whatever choice he makes though, he’s got a lot of things to fix.

Good thing he’s well suited to fixing problems.

After all, most issues only needed a great deal of violence to be solved. Wrench has lots of that in his tool-box to go around.
