The desert is cruel and unforgiving. But what doesn't kill you can make you stronger. You just need to find the right reasons to keep fighting.
James dies and gets sent to a world seemingly intent on torturing him. He's stranded in a tiny oasis in an endless, hot desert, with assassin spiders and scorpions bigger than they have any right to be. It's all pain and suffering at the start, the worst isekai experience ever. He's been in a dark place the last couple of years since his wife was brutally murdered, so at this point, and he's tempted to tell this new world to screw off and give up.
Which is about the time he discovers he can level up. And get skills. And that's pretty cool.
He uncovers a secret that shakes him to the core: his wife is alive, and she's in this world too. Revitalized, he'll do whatever it takes to find and rescue her, battling slavers, monsters, demons, and the evil Sultan at the heart of it all. But he can't do it alone. So he allies a beautiful but crazy genie with phenomenal cosmic powers...who keeps trying to murder him. And a mimic...who keeps trying to eat him.
A tale of daring rescue, fabulous riches, friendship, and bloody revenge. Think Count of Monte Cristo meets Aladdin.
