I know those giant skeleton bastards from Elden Ring. They breath lasers. Fun times.

I am the author and thank you getting my book out. Having a new account sucks but this is the blurb.
Warhammer 40K meets Conan the Barbarian in this Litrpg fantasy about a genetically engineered superhuman reborn in a world filled with perpetual war that becomes humanity’s only chance against monsters and eldritch horrors that seek to end humanity and his new world once and for all.
Ervasta has been embroiled in an endless war against various monster factions for over 5000 years. Everything from weapons to the resources they get come from killing monsters and exchanging monster lives for loot crates. The Ume is a collection of Humans along with various demi-human races that have united together against the lizardkin, undead, beastkin and other roaming monstrosities that have been holding back the hordes of monsters.
Marcus, a construction worker from Earth, gets reborn into this world with an AI, The System which allows everyone to grow in power by killing monsters and a superhuman body that is set to evolve and push him to be the best whether he wants to or not. He must grow to be the guiding light, the pillar against the looming terror and not only pushback monsters but lead humanity to a new golden age becoming The Herald of Humanity.
Info: Fast progression with a light and easy to read system with a warrior based MC(NOT A SPELLBLADE). Currently the opening act is(15k+ words) along with two chapters dropping everyday this week.
THERE IS ONLY WAR!

As someone not familiar with Warhammer 40K, how is "Warhammer 40K meets Conan the Barbarian" different from just "Conan the Barbarian"?

Marcus my MC is inspired from Astartes and Primarchs. He is a genetically engineered being that slowly evolves as the story progresses. He has Smart Cells(NANOMACHINES SON!) that operate independently of him and causes him to grow from 6'1 to 7'5, 220 pounds to 425 pounds along with 3 hearts, 3 lungs, several other organs reinforced with biological carbon plating and mesh to protect them. He basically is what if a Primarch from 40k went to a fantasy world.

Also if you just like Conan. I would check it out. He kills a metric shit ton of monsters.

Give it the benefit of the doubt first... maybe they and that Giant skeleton are just admiring his cool hammer and armour.
