Forgotten Title RRL story about a guy who is a marine vet and he returns home and game-window apocalypse happens

It's got him and he is back home and he goes on jogs in the beginning and he can't get the courage to ask a hot redhead out on a date, then finally he does and they go to the mall and she is in the changing room when goblins start to suddenly appear. she gets stabbed and he uses a health potion that dropped from the goblin. later on he goes on to make his own village/duchy and other races start to appear like elves, who have a pheromone problem that makes guys go crazy. the whole thing was like 100 chapters and then it got dropped.

 

nevermind I found it, it's called Once a Hero

Wold have loved to read the story, but it looks like the author have died, so it won't be finished.
And i don't have a habit of picking up stories that most likly won't be finished or that the author droped (RIP tales og demons and gods).

 

Was one of the greats till the author went and poofed.

If only iy continued. Maybe in another universe.
