Darkworlds

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.

If you like Dungeons and Dragons and Real Time Strategy games, you should like War in the Greenwood. Go grab a copy now.

This is a compendium of five books adding up to over a quarter of a million LitRPG words!

The Greenwood is a virtual reality MMO. There is a lot of humor with larger than life (some awful) characters. The stories are full of action, PVP, dungeon delving and army level combat. They also don't take themselves too seriously and promise no uplifting moral points.

The hero Barcud is a ranger who levels up and makes friends, builds towns, leads armies, engages in PVP.

Other notable characters are the psychopathic Harald Runesmith, a crafter of runes.

The shifty thief Jimmy the Zit.

The wise Druid, Rohan.

Black Metal Loving Ajora who transforms into a polar bear for combat.

The flamboyant and powerful killer bard Romeo el Mejor.

A LitRPG story that lets you join King Arthur and fight by his side against evil.

Camelot Overthrown is the first book set in a future virtual reality fantasy role playing by Miskatonic Games.

Join Gorrow as he rises up from Level 1, hones his knightly skills, upgrades his weapons, makes friends, and builds a village on his way from Squire to Knight.

But his progress is threatened by the ever encroaching armies of Satanus, who threaten even Camelot itself.
Gorrow must race to level so he has the skills to fight and defeat evil. And the financial resources to back up his fight.

King Arthur sends out a call. If Camelot falls, surely Christendom will fall too? Then who will resist Satanus as his black tide threatens to overwhelm the medieval island of Britain?

The return of Sir Gorrow, Knight of King Arthur's Round Table.
With the fall of the City of Camelot, Sir Gorrow shines out as a beacon of resistance and hope to the free folk of the north. But a beacon casts too much light and soon the servants of the Evil One come to hunt him down.
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?

Romeo el Mejor, best bard in the world, or at least in the City of Vinab in the virtual reality massively multi player online game: The Greenwood, is about to put on a play when a goddess appears and asks him to run an errand for her.

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.
