Synopsis

Meghan can’t afford to take a break.

She’s gotten food and shelter for her family. Her oldest is turning into a wizard, her middle boy is some kind of self-healing monkey, and her youngest is accumulating a small army of pets. That’s a bit much to roll with, but when monsters are appearing on the lawn, it’s probably for the best.

What worries her is the mysterious – and dangerous – “Challenge” she knows is fast approaching, and she’s got to get her kids and community ready to face it. Some neighbors are ready and willing to pitch in, but others? They might end up being a bigger problem than the alien monsters.

The second installment in a LitRPG apocalypse saga.

The next book of the series! Demon Hunter (Living Ice Book 2): A Portal Progression Fantasy Series -

So you died a horrific death in your own world? No problem! Maybe you are exactly what an old, dying mage needs to resurrect the princely line of the Morozov family.

An old maniac sliced a couple of people to bits right before your eyes? Relax! Now he’s your teacher, and he’s going to guide you along through life.

What? You’ve actually seen real demons? Huge, ten-foot-tall monsters wielding axes? Take a chill pill! They appear pretty frequently in unexpected places all over the world and wreak destruction.

You want to go back? But don’t you want to hear about the Wastelands? They’re well-protected lands of magic inhabited by demons who pillage and plunder borderland cities...

You’re going to stay away from them? Good luck. Just to let you know, your teacher is planning to go and live right next to one of them. For some reason he thinks that if you just learn to kill demons and undergo a series of dangerous tests, you can become a true master of your bloodline...

The Heir of an Ancient Bloodline is the first book of the Living Ice saga. It brings us to a stark and forbidding parallel world where, by some miracle, humanity managed to survive after a demon invasion. In those ancient times, mages took it upon themselves to play a central role in protecting the human race, thereafter founding the aristocratic families that stood as the world’s guardians.

To one such family was born Ivan, a boy with no control over his magical energy. This flaw cost him his life, and only the willing sacrifice of an old mage is able to return the soul to his body before it goes cold. Well, with one small catch—it’s not his soul. In fact, it’s not a young boy’s soul at all.

Re-start

Dan Sugralinov

At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who’s struggling to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (whenever he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge.

On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player.

Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they’re far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is playing one of the most epic RPG games of all times.

Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life?

Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?
