After being killed by a high-velocity tree, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial. Arlo is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of strangers, possessing no armor, no weapons, and no knowledge of this world — and his paper-thin excuses for how he got there are growing thin. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes his highest stat, Intelligence, and dumps everything into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG set in an epic fantasy world rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered, featuring slow progression, intelligent characters who make intentional build choices, and real consequences.

When Fortune's Folly slew a mountain-sized monstrosity of teeth and tendrils, the next obvious step was to go spelunking down its throat. When they found a foreboding portal inside the corpse, they walked right through it. That's just how they do things. Level 10 has been reached. Now, to bring the world one step closer to the second System phase, Arlo and crew must survive the legendary Delve known as Deijin's Descent.
