HELL CLIMBER
C50/100Web serial by Paul Todkill
The gods are real — and they hate you. This wouldn't be true for most people, but for Samuel Lin, whose first interaction with a god was cursing them out, well, you get the idea. Sam was behind on his Master's thesis when he was selected as one of humanity's representatives in an interstellar battle royale: a fight to the death on the grandest cosmic scale. Dropped through a portal onto the slopes of Mt. Olympos, he discovers the only way to survive is to climb, and the only way to climb is to fight. Surrounded by enemies and marked for death by grudge-bearing gods, Sam faces a very interesting question: does he have what it takes to kill a god? Each Ring of the climb is a new world with new quests, new party members, and new ways to die.
