System Reset: Forged in Nightmare

Alex Smith lived a life of regret—dead-end job, estranged sister, forgotten friends. When the apocalypse struck and fantasy became reality, nothing changed for him. He survived 15 brutal years, only to be betrayed and killed. But fate offers a second chance. Thrown back to the very beginning, Alex faces a new choice: *Welcome to the Nightmare Tutorial.* This time, he won't hold back. A morally grey blacksmith-swordsman, he'll forge weapons and make impossible choices. Expect slow-burn progression, long weekly chapters (5,000–6,000 words), and a gritty blend of crafting and combat. No easy victories. No harem. Just a determined survivor ready to rewrite his fate.
