Synopsis

ASIN moved to this edition

The need for Advance Online has ended and Grant returns to Continue Online’s fantasy world. Once there, he realizes that events echoed strangely across the two virtual reality games, resulting in the resurrection of King Nero and Grant’s wife, albeit with consequences.

King Nero resumes the throne and seeks to punish Grant for killing his sister-in-law. Grant is sentenced to join a prison chain gang assigned to work in the worst dungeons around, and to fight against other inmates to ensure his character’s survival.

While in reality, Miz Riley worries about the recreation of deceased human personalities and clear meddling of the AI Voices. She too moves toward a decision, one that will put everyone Grant loves and cares about in danger.

Grant’s brief reunion with Xin is quickly jeopardized; he desperately tries to stay alive in the virtual world to try to gain enough strength to help those dear to him withstand the upcoming trials as the entire system gradually crashes.

Jay Boyce

Reborn five years in the past. A second chance to do everything over. What would you do?

For Ashlyn, being reborn five years in the past is both a boon and a bane. She’s reborn in the wreckage of tragedy, forced to deal with a life that she messed up before. Now, all she has to show for her life is five years of accumulated knowledge in the greatest virtual reality game ever released - Elysium - and the pain of friendships lost.

This time, Ashlyn is going to make a difference. This time, she’s going to fix the mistakes she made and save the relationships she lost. And to do that, she’s going to use all the knowledge she gained from the future to blaze her way to the top with a new class: the Mystic Mage.

In the face of an impossible mission, Krian has no choice but to keep going, while risking everything that's become dear to him.

Obligations Incurred

★ 4.19

Blaise Corvin

Henry and Jason somehow survived being kidnapped to Ludus, a monster-filled sword-and-sorcery world. They managed to make friends, pay their rent, and they even founded their own adventuring business, Delvers LLC. Unfortunately, by overcoming the odds and creating a reputation for themselves in such short time, monarchs and nobles have taken notice of the two men from Earth. Foreign, deadly struggles may be unavoidable for Delvers LLC. Henry and Jason are about to discover something even more dangerous than murderous monsters on Politics.

They Called Me Mad

★ 4.16

J. Pal

I was in my garage when the space elves addressed the whole world.

They didn't call themselves space elves, of course. Most humans struggled to pronounce Khjurhnalva, so we opted for the easier version. They had a message for us: forces that had eradicated their species' males were now heading for Earth.

Hungry for our resources, the alien hordes annihilate everything that stands in their way. The space elves offered us access to the System and asked for very little in return. After all, cooperation was vital to the survival of both our species.

I, Mathew Alexander Dunphy, know all of the above is bullshit. I saw the truth with my own eyes and heard it from their beautiful, delicate, deceitful mouths. No one believes me, though. They call me mad.

What reason could the space elves have to lie?

Planet-wide survival reality show?

Ridiculous.

Don't miss the start of a fun new LitRPG Series in a system apocalypse setting and featuring mad scientist powers along with plenty of laughs. Oh, and killer aliens. Lots of em.

About the MAD world: Not all game-mechanic systems hand out levels, stats, and skills. Sometimes it offers super powers and leaves the progression up to the user. What is LitRPG without the fan-favorite blue boxes, though? Instead of STR, DEX, AGI, expect them to house crafting-based notifications.

Expansion

★ 4.44

Dave Willmarth

The human race has become nearly extinct.

Allistor and his small group push to make themselves stronger, fighting to survive the year-long Stabilization.

Forced to battle increasingly stronger and more deadly monsters, they work to expand their holdings, learn better spells, and gather resources to improve their crafting.

Dungeons must be cleared, and dragons defeated. Fellow survivors are found - some friendly, some hostile.

Allistor considers every human life precious, but when it becomes a case of kill or be killed, hard choices must be made.

And each day brings them closer to the invasion of Earth.

The Dire Lands

★ 4.44

Dave Willmarth

Jupiter Tech's headquarters, Olympus, has been attacked. Lives have been lost in the real world. Alexander and friends must now thwart the servants of the Dark One both in and out of the game. With a few new allies, the Greystone Guild moves out of the noob zones to take on the challenges presented by the ruins of Dire Keep and its inhabitants. They must conquer, rebuild, and defend the Dire Lands against attacking forces. The players (and Fibble) must now overcome tougher dungeons, and more dangerous foes. Even betrayal by one of their own! This is the second book in the Greystone Chronicles series. I recommend reading the first book before this one.

Nigmus Online

★ 4.16

Noah Barnett

Virtual Dive technology is coming out of the workplace and into homes. Nigmus Online is the first MMO to use this new device. The only caveat to the game; there is no manual. The only instruction the player gets is how to interact with the user interface. That's it. Nobody is going to hold their hand or give out rare items. Players begin life as a level zero commoner. Its entirely up to them what class they become. Explore a world that spans five continents.

~Story Summary~

Liam is tricked into trying an expensive and innovative online MMO. On his first trip into the game he stumbles upon a hidden class. The Undead Necromancer. Intrigued by this turn in events he continues to explore this mysterious world.

In another part of the country Kathrine(Kat) suffers from a debilitating and paralyzing disease. Taking part in an experimental research could offer her a new lease on life (of a sort).

Even further afield Russia and China are undergoing a massive spike in suicide rate. What could be causing so many young adults to dire ends?
