Chapter 1 of Will of the Vagabonds [LitRPG, 2700 words]

NSFWCritique My Story Excerpt

Hey everyone,

As someone who is a serial rewriter, I’ve almost completed the draft of a complete novel for the first time. I’ve achieved this great feat by writing a very unserious LitRPG story to try and prevent overthinking. However, I’ve come to the point where I enjoy writing these characters and I’m thinking of revising the draft to post on RoyalRoad. I let myself touch up the first chapter a bit as a reward for not restarting yet, and was hoping to get any impressions or feedback.

Is the introduction too jarring and weird? Would you keep reading past this point?

Thanks to anyone who even clicks this post!
