Not all heroes go to heaven.
Terrence Mack was born poor, grew up tough, and died hard. Waking up in a sea cave with nothing but the clothes on his back and a new bullet scar was enough to convince him that wherever his death had brought him, it wasn't paradise.
His new world quickly proves to be a place of danger, magic, monsters, and - for Terry at least - women.
Known on Celestine as a template, Terry's genes are key to the survival of the eldritch races. But the fiercely competitive eldritch don't typically leave their lovers alive long, and aren't accustomed to taking 'no' for an answer.
The average life expectancy of a template on Celestine? Three days.
A city boy with no survival skills to speak of, Terry sets out in a desperate bid to gather allies. With the help of a lonely dryad, a mixed-up minotress, and a misguided party of dungeon delvers, he must be brave, cunning, and good with the ladies to have any hope of living through the month.
All the while an ancient evil bent on the destruction of Celestine exists in the north, and templates are the key to its southern expansion ...

Why didn't I read this earlier?
Gosh, this was a way too much fun read.
Loved every single page, word, sentence, humor and awesomeness of MC.
Some awesome tidbits for you, Spoilers Ahead:
"Not to mention the truism that all women are crazy. It isn't about finding the exception. It's about finding a woman with the kind of crazy you can live with. I think Shy fits."
He lifted an eybrow, gazing up at her wit the question plain on his face. " Fuck for great Justice".
I could whore myself out in the city until I had whatever it was I needed.... That's me. Terry Mack, laying his way to world domination. So stupid.
Terry: "Now you're just fucking with me."
Euryale: "Now, later ... whenever you like."
T: "Not what I meant."
E: "The offer stands."
