Summary
In another dimension, the Fighting System has overtaken all modern sports.
Fighters use supernatural powers to climb a global leaderboard and enter the Ultimate Versus tournament, where the winner — the #1 Fighter in the world — can have their greatest wishes granted.
And Daniel Chase needs to get home. A seventeen-year-old teen from Chicago, he’s always loved music more than fighting games, but he must battle his way to the very top to earn the chance at wishing himself back. Even worse, the System labels him a Joke Fighter, and only gives him one technique: a counterattack.
A retired top fighter unexpectedly offers to train him, and Daniel seizes the chance to learn from a master. But, as he further grasps his counterattack and prepares for a local tournament, top fighters are dropping dead worldwide. Someone is trying to take over the Ultimate Versus — and every victory brings Daniel closer to the lethal truth.
Featuring:
- Defiance of the Fall meets Street Fighter with a Black protagonist
- Ranked system with classes and a global leaderboard
- Magic system based on fighting games with growth by skill and knowledge
- One-on-one fight scenes
- Weak to strong underdog MC with a limited moveset

Tekken meets LitRPG
A wonderful twist on the genre. The plot keeps the fights interesting, and loved the vibes of those fighting game side on scenes, with a logical reason to shout the moves names. Well worth a listen for something a little different
