The Lone Keeper has an entireworld to protect, but that world is about to get a whole lot bigger…

 

After discovering that his presence in Derelya has adetrimental effect on the ambient energy if he stays in one place for too long,Bax is determined to keep on the move. Forced to go solo after his Party abandoned him, his entire goal is tolearn more about the world he is duty-bound to protect, while also attemptingto gain the support of the population – all despite being one of the despisedKeepers. 

 

On his travels, he stumbles across an individual who isjust as much of an outcast as himself. Teaming up, Bax hopes to one day help the new addition to his Party getstronger and potentially even become another Keeper to join him in his effortsto save Derelya from the monsters that threaten it… 

 

…until a Task to defeat a Remnant goes sideways.  Despite eliminating the powerful monster, hisnew Party member is unfortunately killed soon after; in an effort to get herback, Bax accidentally does something that will change the world – and theentire Retrogression System – forever.

The final Developmental Phaseis thrust upon the Contenders, whether they like it or not…

 

After inadvertently triggering the start of DevelopmentalPhase 4 with the destruction of The Citadel, Thaden learns from his squirrelcompanion, Sadia, what the Wildlands has in store for him and the otherContenders.  Unfortunately, despite his incrediblepower as a largely solo healer, he quickly discovers that in order to succeedin the final Phase, numerous additional people will need to participate.

 

In other words, he cannot do it alone.

 

The problem that arises is, sadly, an obvious one.  While Thaden is powerful and more thancapable of tackling many of the challenges that Phase 4 presents, the otherContenders in Region #1, let alone all of the other Regions on Tarth, are farbehind the required Level to even have a chance of succeeding against themonsters in the Wildlands.  And if hedoesn’t find a way to get them to that point, then the deaths of not only everyperson in Region #1, but the entire world, will become an inevitability.

 

Will Thaden persevere when the odds of success are slim tonone?  Or will he do somethingunbelievably stupid and put the lives of everyone on Tarth even more atrisk?  Find out in the thrillingconclusion of the Earthen Contenders series!

 

This story contains an overpowered MC with anormally non-offense-based Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, andisekai/portal fantasy elements.  Containsno sexual content or harems.

I'm currently working on the 2nd book in the series, which should hopefully be out by the end of October.  

Whathappens when a new Keeper recruit inadvertently eliminates not only the otherrecruits, but all of the teachers, as well?

 

At first,when Bax suddenly found himself transported from Earth to an organization ofpowerful, universe-spanning races, he was thoroughly confused.  After he learned that his world was beingforcefully inducted into something called the Retrogression System, which wouldintroduce monsters to the Earth while eliminating all of the technology of theHumans living there, he understandably panicked.

 

Unfortunately,there was nothing that Bax or the Keeper Recruit program that he suddenly foundhimself being enrolled in could do about it. Instead, he was told that he had to learn how to be a Keeper, which wasa powerful protector of the worlds included in the System in which the Earthwas now a part.  More than that, he wasto become a Keeper Guide, a teacher of sorts for future Human Keepers once theRetrogression cycle began anew.

 

The onlyproblem was that he had been transported from Earth while he was in the earlystages of the flu he’d contracted from a co-worker.  Bax’s experience being ravaged by the virus wasunpleasant, to say the least, but he eventually recovered with enoughrest.  However, when he finally emergedfrom his room, ready to really start his learning as a Keeper Guide, he quicklydiscovered that the rest of the Cooperative seemed to be abandoned.

 

Now, what isa Keeper Guide recruit to do when there’s no one left to teach him?

The 1st book in the Magical Fusion series, Der Fusionist, is now available in German on the Amazon.de marketplace!

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0FNKD1PFY

Ein junger Mann und seine Axt, zusammen mit einem magischen Leben, um das er nie gebeten hat ...

Larek Holsten ist anders als die meisten Menschen. Er lebt im Königreich Androthe, wo seine zwei Meter große Statur von den kleineren Bewohnern mit Misstrauen und Wut betrachtet wird. Aber solange es ihm hilft, der beste Holzfäller zu werden, der er sein kann, stört ihn das nicht sonderlich. Er und sein bester Freund, eine Axt mit einer mächtigen Fusion, die sie schärfer und stärker als ein normales Werkzeug werden lässt, werden von den Bäumen im magischen Wald nördlich seiner Heimat gefürchtet, denn er kann die schnell wachsenden Monolithen schneller fällen als jeder andere in der Gemeinschaft

.
Unglücklicherweise gerät Larek nach einem Besuch im Dorf durch ein absichtliches Missverständnis in Schwierigkeiten, was dazu führt, dass er seiner Familie und dem einzigen Zuhause, das er je gekannt hat, weggenommen wird. Auf dem Weg dorthin wird sein schlummerndes magisches Potenzial von jenen entdeckt, die mehr wissen als er, und er wird dazu verdonnert, eine Art Akademie für Magier zu besuchen.

Das Problem dabei? Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen, die die Chance ergreifen würden, mächtige Magie einzusetzen, um die Monster zu bekämpfen, die die Dörfer und Städte des Königreichs bedrohen, hat Larek absolut keine Lust, ein Magier zu werden, vor allem, wenn er keine Wahl hat. Alles, was er will, ist, nach Hause zu seiner Familie zurückzukehren und die Bäume im Rushwood-Wald zu fällen.
Aber als er ein einzigartiges Talent entdeckt, das aus seiner neu entdeckten latenten Macht herrührt, muss er vielleicht einfach bleiben, um zu sehen, was er tun kann ...

Diese Geschichte rund um den Protagonisten, der sich von einer schwachen zu einer starken Persönlichkeit entwickelt, enthält LitRPG-Elemente wie Charakterentwicklung und Statistiken sowie einen Schwerpunkt auf Handwerkskunst. Keine expliziten sexuellen Inhalte oder Liebesdreiecke.

After a harrowing experience with a Soul Manipulator after he created his Easter section, Elmer Robbins is back and developing a brand-new area based on another holiday. With enough Life Force gained from the Adventurers perishing throughout his dungeon over the last few months, the Dungeon Core decides to implement the holiday of Independence Day as his newest addition to his dungeon defenses.

Cooking on a grill, playing with water during hot summer days, and setting off fireworks are some of the best things about the Independence Day holiday he remembers from back on Earth, and he wants to translate those experiences into his dungeon. At the same time, he needs to discover a way to prevent the same thing that happened with the Soul Manipulator from occurring again, because the last thing he wants is his soul captured and used against his will.

However, the danger to his Core won’t come from another Soul Manipulator. Instead, it will present itself in the form of an old enemy, as well as from an entirely unexpected direction….
