Hello!

For years I’ve been a massive fan of the LitRPG genre. Initially, I devoured the few books available in English and sought more content in episodic fan translations. Now, finally, the genre is starting to rapidly grow. I love how authors manipulate progression. There’s something wonderful about being presented with a mold, only to see it broken and surpassed.

I’ve always been drawn to stories that work to build a stable world then, once norms are established, begin to rock the boat in a big way. The first book in my series aims to establish this world boat, while offering glimpses beyond the horizon. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Not just any game, I wanted the game to have interesting and incredibly stylish abilities such as necromancers raising circles of skeletons around themselves in an instant or druids melding into trees to rapidly warp through forests. I dreamed of a world, vivid with NPC hierarchies that the players could infiltrate, becoming masters of thieves’ guilds or of mercenary guards. I wanted a massive, open world where guards could be hired to escort a caravan, while brigands might lie in wait in the tree branches of a dark forest to ambush passing merchants—all with real-time, skill-based combat.

The amount of time, effort, and technology for a game of that scope was beyond reason and beyond profitability. I didn’t pursue that goal, but I kept my ideas for that world in an old notebook, tucked away in a closet. It was only after reading several LitRPG novels that I remembered the notebook and the urge to create a game world was rekindled.

So, it’s a version of something I’ve been wanting to create for half of my life. I just never knew there were so many other like-minded authors and readers.(less)
