Aspect of Survival [Progression, Isekai]

Humanity will need every warrior it can find to have any chance of surviving. Reality was shattered into pixels and lies as John discovered his entire life had been a meticulously crafted simulation. Awakened in a cold, unfamiliar world, he finds himself thrust into a desperate war against inhuman monsters, on the losing side. But by using his incredible combat instinct developed over years as a duelist and champion, John aims to make a difference. He has much to fight for, after all. What to expect:  - Long-term progression-focused story.  - Romance, no harem.  - Growing power system.  - Mysteries that stay hidden for long stretches of time.  - A mix of action, progression and character focus.  - Unique enchantments and powers. Main inspiration is Shadow Slave, though they are quite different. The first book is now finished, but the next one might take a while to come out.
