"If you were given one more chance at life, what would you do with it?"
Craig Anderson had always been pathetic. He spent his life living like a coward, and he ended it like a fool on the barroom floor. Despite this, when he awoke in a fantasy world, he was determined to change, and he dared to hope he would be able to turn things around. Even if he had been unlucky enough to awaken in the body of an orc...
Unfortunately, things are never quite that simple.
Abandoned and left for dead, his second chance squandered on foolhardy optimism, Craig Anderson bled out in the dirt. But even as he cursed himself and the ones who had left him to die, he was offered a deal by a mysterious, beautiful figure. She would give him one more chance at life and the strength to exact his vengeance, and all she asked for in exchange was his soul.
Now, torn between hatred and guilt, ambition and regret, Craig must reconcile his former humanity with the path to which he is resolved. He is an orc, and his nature and his choices steer him inexorably down the road to hell. The only course left is to embrace the world's worst beliefs about him and become everything they fear.
He is Kragg, and if he must, he will become the greatest and most terrible orc of all.
