Slumrat Rising #4
A Man on Fire: A Cyberpunk LitRPG
The descendent of an ancient and terrible clan will wield extraordinary power come the end of days in the epic fourth installment of this urban fantasy.
Truth Medici knows life isn’t fair. But for the first time, the balance is in his favor. Cultivation has taken him from desperate slumrat to burglar to mercenary to bodyguard to terrorist, and now he’s the revered prince of a kingdom to come—immortal heir to a dynasty hidden for millennia.
Pampered by succubae, demons, and sprites, Truth is more than ready to embody the might of his ancestors, who’ve prospered in secret for centuries. With an aura that reeks of power, he’ll make his presence known. His word and will are law.
But not all is perfect. Truth’s lover is no longer by his side, and neither is his beloved brother Vig, a revolutionary still devoted heart and soul to smashing the System. With a vast nationalist uprising reaching its fiery peak, Truth can’t help but What does he really want the end of the world to look like when all is said and done?
The answer lies back home in impoverished Harban. Truth left there a slumrat, but he’ll return as King Rat. And his reign will count for more than anyone can imagine . . .
The fourth volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

The last two books could have been combined and tightened into one book. While I'm as close to a supporter of the philosophy in this series, I don't like being hit over the head with it so often and for so long. Tone it down please.

Still heavy on the philosophy, but that can be skimmed (or skipped if desired)
