Synopsis
At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who struggles to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (when he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge.
On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player.
Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they’re far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is predictably gaming.
Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life?
Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?

This story is kind of depressing and slow, very slow. too much info dump, unnecessary info, so little story progress. but still its a great story i hope the author can pick up the pace i know characters building is important, but this is already way too slow in term of story.
This story is incredible and I totally love it. The character gave me a shock at first, since I was accustomed to typical mcs that overcome anything and everything without much effort, so in comparison the character of this story seemed a loser at first ... Until I realize how realistic and deep his personality was. Tracking history, development, emotional growth and gain through real-life gaming brings me absolute satisfaction. Totally worth it for anyone to add the list of books to read as soon as possible! Five stars in all!
I’ve read this story. Looking at the title was a bit nostalgic for me because I remembered reading a book of the same idea and quality on amazon and now I see that it was on amazon. This book is good for people who want a modern day system of someone trying to get his life together.
This book is amazing, keep going! Can't stop reading. Can't wait to see more. Do you have any social media that I can follow so I can know when you gonna update?

Anyone can find this book on amazon. It’s currently up to book three and is written by a very well known Russian RPGLit author. Could the “Author” of this page please include the original author’s name and amazon info for everyone?
A solid story that realistically imports a system into a real world situation. MC has a lot of room for improvement but is still basically a good guy. The workplace and relationship dynamics ring true.
I love this. This is a good system story without the 2d cut and paste op protagonist. The mc is a very (less than)average guy who basically wasted his whole life playing video games when his life changes, not sure if it's for the better.
Nothing I can say that hasn't been said. Very enjoyable read, and well written. If your a fan of systems give it a try. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ciekawa novelka czekam na dalszy rozwój polecam :) NiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNiceNice
Good premise and excellent execution. Adding game elements in to the life rather than adding life element in to the games. This would make a living life easier, for one thing we will get to know what the f*** is going on.
Dude. This work is something that I can see has some great potential and future value. As long as you do your best then I have no reason to doubt this can become greater!
This is very good! It's well written with good character development and an interesting plot. Sigh, if only I could get some help with achieving my goals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle... I envy the protagonist!
Love the book! good deep mc that really makes you belive he was an ordinary guy that got a system and not like in many other book, were suddenly change in one chapter, but here he surely but slowly change to better. I really like it
A good story so far with an interesting concept and an excellent execution. There is clear and we'll written character development and relatable circumstances that allow you to sympathize with the MC.
OK. If you are starting to read this story you should know, that you won't get more than a couple of chapters here. The story is on kindle unlimited and can be bought on amazon (Dan Sugralinov Re-Start (Level Up Book #1) LitRPG Series). This is just a preview as far as I'm concerned. The story itself is great though just don't expect it here.
