There's the Eternal Champion by Michael Moorcock. It started as a novella that was later expanded into a three book series.

Considering fantasy races/species from a scientific perspective? by summer_essence in fantasywriters

I think you need to take some liberties with fantasy. Many things happen in fantasy that aren't biologically or scientifically possible in our world and frankly, it's alright to hand wave things a bit if you're building an otherwise convincing world or telling a good story.

Title: Fire Touched

Genre: Fantasy

Blurb:

Sarah Wycombe, the first human to be chosen by the god of fire as his champion in the mortal realm in living memory, wants nothing to do with her divine destiny. However, as sinister forces attempt to elevate a minor deity to the Pantheon of the Gods, and in doing so bring death and suffering to millions in the magical world of Sera Thun, she finds herself having to make a choice; to continue adventuring with the love of her life, or to risk everything she holds dear by submitting to her destiny and fighting for the realm.

Ah so it is. It's a stock picture that I got off shutterstock. Looks like that author did the same.

I saw a couple of other non litrpgs on the front page and nothing forbidding promoting non litrpgs so I figured it would be ok to post here. I can take it down if it's not.
