Vice Ideals Versa Immortal

by M.R. M.R.

“He died a soldier. He awoke a pawn in a sorcerer's game.”

When seasoned soldier Ethan Cross dies on the battlefield, he thought his life was over. Instead, he wakes up in a ritual chamber, surrounded by glowing coffins and shadowed by a dark presence. Malik Voss, a twisted sorcerer, offers him a deal cloaked in help four other lost souls find redemption, and Ethan can return to the moment that matters most— saving his brothers-in-arms from an ambush that changed everything.

Each soul bears Ethan's face. To save them, he must travel into their pasts, live their lives, and rewrite the choices that doomed

A hunted assassin.

A lawyer seeking justice for a forgotten and wronged orphan.

A broken wrestler chasing one last shot at glory.

A caring brother protecting his sister from ruthless vengeance.

As Ethan rights their wrongs, glowing coffins turn from orange to blue—marking peace won at a price. But when his own turn comes, Ethan discovers the sorcerer's true to consume their souls and forge an immortal being... and it hinges on Ethan's regret.

With fate hanging by a thread, Ethan must cling to the past that haunts him, or break the cycle with a single, powerful truth —peace isn't perfection; it's acceptance.

A soul-twisting, time-bending thriller of sacrifice, second chances, and the fight for what truly matters.

Can one man's redemption rewrite the preordained threads of a dark destiny?

3.5 ⭐️

Hey this book is good. The story is very interesting and different than anything I’ve read. I am not an avid fantasy reader so maybe they have books out there with similar stories but I personally haven’t read any.
This becomes as little more impressive in my opinion because I think this is the first book this author wrote. The book is very short and my only reason for not rating higher, even though anything above 3 ⭐️I consider books I really liked. But my reason is , I would’ve enjoy more if we had romance in it . Don’t get me wrong there is some mention and underline romance there, but it’s not a romance book.
But the whole concept of the souls needing to fulfill their purpose and do what they were supposed to do it to be happy was exciting.
Basically we have Ethan and he is the one that is going to interfere “if I can say that” in the other souls lives and correct what needs to be correct and he must die in the end. There are 7 souls he needs to do this for. The Sorcerous is threatening the life of his unborn child and wife if he doesn’t do what he is supposed too. So seen the individual stories and the moment their story went wrong was cool. So he goes from lives of an assassin to a lawyer to a gang member and etc…..
it felt to me like he was going through reincarnations. It’s was interesting! I liked it. It there was romance it would’ve been perfect.

Vice Ideals Versa Immortal is an action packed Dark Fantasy book, involving different characters throughout who are lovable, funny and down right dangerous. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Soul 2 and his friends, the banter was great, the sprinkled in longing between characters made this part of the story irresistible! I could easily read a whole book on just these characters!

I really enjoyed this book, there was a good deal of information on each character and real eye for details. It's a very unique book and I had an awesome time reading it!

I received a free copy of Vice Ideals Versa Immortal in exchange for an honest review—and I genuinely loved it.

This book completely surprised me in the best way. It’s such an easy read, but it keeps you hooked the entire time. The concept is incredibly clever, and the way the story unfolds is both unique and entertaining. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but I found myself flying through the pages.

Even though it’s outside what I normally read, I was fully into it. It’s fast-paced, thought-provoking, and just so cool in how everything is structured and revealed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different, smart, and engaging from start to finish.

★★★★.5

What an amazing debut!!

I haven’t dabbled in fantasy in a while, but this book reignited my interest and once I started, I couldn’t stop reading!

It’s Ethan’s final patrol duty before he’s due to take leave and support his wife through a challenging pregnancy. But it turns out to be Ethan’s last patrol. He dies in an enemy attack. When he awakens, he finds himself in a mysterious room surrounded by coffins and a sorcerer who offers him an unusual deal…

“Seven faces, seven lives, and perhaps, seven fates intertwined.”

I was absolutely glued to the pages! The concept is so compelling and felt truly original. It’s hard to explain just how cleverly this story is plotted without giving too much away. Readers should definitely go into this as blind as possible to enjoy the full impact. Each soul’s life and final moments are so beautifully written; they immediately draw you in, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.

The short chapters and well-placed graphics add to the immersion, helping to visualize the room and keep track of the story’s shifting states. It’s clear this was crafted with the reader’s experience in mind.

After learning more about Moganaviniith Rathinavel, I am incredibly excited to see future story ideas across multiple genres come to life! I am so impressed by this debut, created in close collaboration with two friends, an editor, and an artist. What a talented writer!

Thank you M.R. M.R. for a copy. All opinions are my own.

Vice Ideals Versa Immortal by MRMR, eathan is in Afghanistan leading his troops away from base camp when they get bombarded by Al-Qaeda and everyone is killed. after this last mission he was going to head home to his pregnant wife Lana who is soon going to give birth but instead he finds himself waking up in a strange room with a wizard dress like the Grim Reaper, someone called the soul navigator an empty coffin and four other !caskets that have an inner glow one is transparent blue and the rest or orange but where is he and how did he get there. Soon the wizard guy explains to him that he will have to intercede on the lives of four men who seem to all look exactly like Eathan and fix the mistakes that caused them to be unsatisfied at the time of their death. The look-alikes are named Marcus who is a hitman Javier an up-and-coming lawyer Darren a boxer and Adrian a Mexican gang member who’s just trying to make it. Everything to Eathan seems unreal but despite that he’s still tries to figure out what’s the point of him being there and what the wizard is keeping from him? unfortunately it seems the more questions he asks the angrier the wizard gets the Wizard seems to be quite evil but what does he want with Eathan and why do all the dead men look like him? I noticed whenever I really enjoy a book I find it hard to write a great review and I really enjoyed this one just know if you love the supernatural good against evil great storytelling and then even better ending then you will definitely enjoy this book. Throughout the book each person has their own little vignette story I found those interesting I just think the author has a great talent for riding and I will definitely be reading other books by him hopefully soon. #TheBlindReviewer,#ViceIdealsVersaImmortal, #MRMR,

I would like to give special thanks to the author for sending me a copy of this piece in exchange for an honest review!

I have read many many MANY books within the fantasy / sci-fi genre and I can say that this story is truly unique. It is a shorter book, a novella really, and I almost wish I could have had MORE! The story is a mix of smaller stories within one main story that connects them all together. Each little piece is like it's own fun movie playing in your head. I truly felt the emotions of going through the hardships these characters went through. You definitely are rooting for the good guys in this one! One could definitely make each little story into its own full fledged book, but I did enjoy how quick and fast paced the story was.

This book has a lot of lore going on, and it makes me just want more! I have questions about the magical parts within the story (think bigger picture world building type stuff) that could potentially lead to more books down the line...if we're lucky LOL. I am impressed by the author's mind and can't wait to see what else he writes as time goes on.

This is his first novel and so I will add there are a few minor editing mistakes within the text, but honestly that just shows how pure of a piece it is...truly done by the author and him alone! I can only see things getting better from here on out for M.R. M.R. and his future books!

This book was given to me as an ARC. Thank you for sharing it with me. Now, I will say my thoughts about it.

This book has a strong message that readers can learn a lot from. I like the way contentment, greed, regret and second chances interplay in the story. It is also fast-paced and action-packed, making it exciting to read. I think I just really like the idea of this book.

However, I wish the story was being shown more than told. Putting more emotional weight to the characters will make the message delivered more powerful. Also, I think adding way more details in many parts of the book will keep the readers thrilled in reading it. Yet, considering it is a debut novel, it already is an amazing book.

I was quite curious about the Sorcerer’s backstory. Who knows the next book is about him and how he rises into the villain that he is?

★★★☆☆
This book had potential and offered some interesting ideas, but overall it didn’t quite land for me. The pacing felt rushed at times, which made it hard to fully connect with the characters or the story’s emotional weight. On the flip side, there were also sections that felt overly wordy, which slowed the momentum and diluted some key moments. That said, there were still flashes of strong writing, and I appreciate Mr Mr's effort and creativity.

[Noir · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was wild—in the best way. The story is super unique and really engaging. I legit couldn’t stop reading and finished it in one sitting (3 and half hours!). It felt like watching a psychological thriller movie with so much heart. The plot twists, fast pace, and character glow-ups were all on point. The soul numbers and mirror stuff? Super creative. And the 14 maps/pics for the ritual? So helpful. The author really snapped with this one!

[Garry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book—it felt refreshingly different and easy to follow. However, I’m a bit unsure about what the author meant by the 'Easter egg' at the end. I might’ve missed the hidden meaning, but overall, it was a clear and engaging read for me!
