Finding himself on the run from the law, he will need a safe place to hide.
His target? A borderline lawless subordinate territory of the Empire; a land of cruelty, vigilantism, and mountains of ice—the Northern Belt.
Despite having acted in self-defense, Freddy knows that, should the law catch up with him, he stands no chance of being declared innocent. If he wants to remain free—or even alive—he needs to find somewhere he can hide long enough to bury the trail.
His first choice ends up being the infamous, crime-ridden area of the Northern Belt.
With four-stars being banned from entering or staying there, the ceiling of absolute power is lower. With the absolute border of the Northern Spine, there are almost no ways in or out. With the prevalence of greed and personal benefit above all, the Northern Belt makes for the perfect poison jar.
Anyone who reaches the peak of the third star is taken away by the empire for their purposes.
For Freddy, there are only two paths ahead of him—either he will break the jar…
Or come out the other end as a deadly venom.

The series
In a world where power is everything, Freddy Stern’s life is about to change forever. 1% Lifesteal invites readers into a gritty and immersive LitRPG universe, where every battle, every victory, and every defeat comes at a cost. Freddy, an ordinary young man with no desire for grandeur, is thrust into a brutal reality when a near-death experience grants him an extraordinary gift: the ability to absorb strength with every enemy he defeats. But with this power comes a deeper question—how far will Freddy go to grow stronger? And at what cost?
Read full series description
The series takes readers on a journey that’s as much about personal transformation as it is about conquering powerful enemies. Blaise doesn’t simply create a world full of high-stakes action—he builds a universe where every character is forced to reckon with their choices, where power is a dangerous and addictive force that shapes not only the world around them but also their very souls. Freddy’s development is at the heart of this tale. As he grows stronger with every kill, he must grapple with the darker side of his newfound abilities—what is the true cost of the power he gains?
In 1% Lifesteal, the stakes aren’t just about surviving the next fight—they’re about understanding who you become when you start to gain everything and lose a little more of yourself with every step. Blaise’s masterful world-building makes each encounter feel weighty, not just in the context of the game mechanics, but in terms of Freddy’s psychological and moral evolution. As Freddy becomes stronger, the line between hero and villain begins to blur, and the boundaries of right and wrong seem to vanish.
The series has already captured a growing following with its unique blend of thrilling combat, rich character arcs, and deep ethical questions. What happens when a person realizes they can keep growing, no matter how many they defeat? 1% Lifesteal isn’t just a tale of gaming and battles; it’s a reflection on power, sacrifice, and the fragile nature of human morality. It challenges readers to consider: how far would you go to change your fate, and how much of yourself would you be willing to lose?
