Son of Flame

Lost in a world of levels and skills, a former fireman gets a second chance at becoming the type of hero he always wanted to be, in this isekai series.

The last thing Jonathan "Tilly" Tillman remembers is the thunderous crack of a flame-engulfed building collapsing as he tried to save a little girl . . . Until a system administrator offers him a new life on Nephesh, the realm where ideals, myths, and legends clash endlessly for supremacy in the hearts of men.

Carrying all the trauma and regrets of his decades-long career as a first responder, Tilly must start from scratch-without a tutorial-in a system-governed universe. To make matters worse, on day one he finds himself facing off against a cosmic force bent on corrupting the entire realm.

Determined to stand his ground, Tilly taps into his secret love of gaming and his emerging abilities as a Son of Flame to become the hero he was always meant to be. Armed with allies, skills, and the potent power of his old nemesis, fire, he might just be able to save the world.

But Tilly's choices have consequences . . . Ones that will shake the very foundations of Nephesh-and perhaps the nature of reality itself.
