Barrier Mage (A LitRPG Adventure) - Unfinished

Status Update: June 29th - I never did get back to this, and I doubt I will. Feel free to read this if you'd like, but don't expect it to ever be finished.  A new LitRPG Weak-to-Strong progression adventure! Find yourself in a new world where you, like me, can get your head caved in by a guy with a club after about five minutes! Take a look at a world that doesn't have gaming abstractions viewed through the lens of a guy who does! My name is Niles Thatcher. One day, on my way home from work, I was given a package. Inside that package was this... thing called the Paradigm Shift Device, or PSD for short. When I started playing around with it, I eventually found myself in this brand new world. It doesn't look too different from ours, except that in our world, I had never been clubbed unconscious from behind before. So... Woohoo! New experiences! Anyways, I don't know what I'm doing here, or why I was given this thing, but I'm here now, and once I get away from these jerks that imprisoned me, I am going to figure it out. So, come take a look! We have: Bandits with cool names, demi-vampire women who kick ass, goddesses who flirt shamelessly, a thought out game system that integrates itself into a non-game world, and of course, yours truly, Niles! A guy! A normal, average, everyday guy! Watch me get isekai'ed so hard, I'm basically guaranteed to get overpowered eventually. I hope. It would really suck if the guy writing this story decided it would be more fun for me to struggle constantly.
