Jake Taylor was your average broke student at the University. One day, when he had no classes, he stumbled across a booth set up for "brain scans," Earn while you sleep. It looked like easy money, so he signed up for the full scan. It would require sleeping in a booth for two days, but he would wake up thousands of dollars richer. It should be easy money…

The next thing he knows, he is no longer human, and the new world he finds himself in is an extremely dangerous place. So dangerous that the former occupant of the body he finds himself in had just died from a venomous snakebite.

He is informed that the body he was in had been wearing a crystal resurrection necklace. He is now one of "the "resurrected." Many of those that died while wearing the strange crystals have their bodies healed, but their memories were lost and replaced by something from the crystal. He now finds himself "Isekai'ed" (implanted into a new body) on a planet where there are no humans, in a body that looks like the former owner was a martial artist, one that used steroids and worked out... A lot of steroids!

It is a very dangerous land, but there is always work for someone who can fight and can kill monsters. Unfortunately, sometimes the real monsters are hard to tell from normal people…

This places a Hard S/F wrapper over an Isekai story with lots of humorous elements. There is fighting using medieval-level technology weapons. And some surprises later on. This has a minor harem element but contains zero explicit content.
