Who I am in real life doesn't matter; who I am in the game is what counts.
Before it happened, I bumbled my way through the virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game "The Greenwood," made crap builds and wasted my time.
Then I got murdered. A shadowy figure took my hard-accumulated possessions and left me to die. I admit, I did a rage quit and deleted my character.
Then I wondered what kind of person that rage quit made me? Maybe I was a quitter? And maybe I really was someone who would let a bully get away with disrespecting me?
But then again, no: I respected myself too much for that. I rolled a new character, I vowed to get good and re-entered The Greenwood.
I took on the name Barcud and the profession of ranger. I vowed to rise through the levels, hone my skills, hunt down the shadowy figure, and grind his face in the dirt.
This is my story.
Total war is coming bringing hunger, sword and flame.
The game of The Greenwood isn't just life or death, it's far more important than that.
I’m Barcud, Sergeant at Arms of the Rangers’ Guild in the virtual reality RPG, The Greenwood. By taunting our enemies, I’d provoked a war, and now those enemy hordes threatened our very existence. In a race against time, I had to level my village and build up the high stone walls to keep them out.
I knew I had the tricks, I thought I had the guile, and my friends were counting on me. Maybe those weeks playing Total War weren't wasted after all because our foes were many, our allies were few and time was running out.
We devised a cunning strategy, gathered our friends, trained our armies, and waited.
Then they attacked with knights, beast-men, warlocks, sorcerers and their orc allies, unleashing War in the Greenwood.
War in the Greenwood is the third book in The Greenwood series.

The end of the world is hiding in a game, and now it’s time to play...
A Mashup of LitRPG gameplay and H P Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu horror mythos.
Adam Harker is a disgruntled employee of a data-mining corporation in a world that is falling apart. Everyday news stories emerge to suggest the end days are coming.
The ground down population of the great cities of the world work like slaves to service the mega rich elite, and in their spare time they forget their troubles in alcohol, drugs and virtual reality games.
But Adam doesn’t enter Darkworlds like everyone else — unlike them, he isn’t fleeing the end of the world by playing a game.
Which is just as well, because the end of the world lurks right there.
Taking up his role as a gun toting misfit priest, Adam begins to level and take on quests in this Lovecraft themed Virtual Reality RPG set in 1927 London.
But then a secretive guild of players contacts him — a group dedicated to fighting the monsters they find in the code.
The return of Sir Gorrow, Knight of King Arthur's Round Table.

Gorrow is faced with a dilemma -- does he abandon his village to the raids of evil minions, or does he attempt to defend it?
Or could he come up with a way to disappear completely?

She promises him a +10 boost to all stats for a month, so how could he refuse?
She is also remarkably pretty.
A light hearted LitRPG short story set in the Greenwood.
I’m Barcud, a Level 14 Ranger, and I thought we’d got them beat.
Our enemies were besieged behind their high city walls and everything was going very right.
Until it went very wrong.
High up from the back of my eagle, I saw the Greenwood turn black and dead. But it wasn’t just the trees that died; bears, foxes and wolves succumbed to the plague, then came back as something worse. In the villages and towns, the dead rose from their graves and went hunting fresh meat.
The zombie apocalypse was unleashed.
Our siege camp was threatened and victory was slipping through our fingers. Before all was lost, I knew I had to step up and search out the secret source of the zombie plague.
Aided by a runesmith, a thief, a bard and a wizard, I raced against time to find the mystery of the plague and defeat the wicked intelligence spreading it.
But in the end I realized victory meant taking on the gods themselves.
