Twilight Templar book cover
#1

Twilight Templar

2020

A Game of Life and Death (Warning: Contains violence as well as adult situations and language) Ben sat down to play a brand-new MMORPG, Eternal Journey Online. Next thing he knew, he had been transformed into his character, first-level Paladin Hawke Lightseeker, and found himself in a corpse-filled cavern complex crawling with monsters and undead. Armed with a sentient sword, Hawke must learn the rules of a reality where magic and power-leveling are as real as swords and knives, and where you only get a limited number of respawns before you die for good. Follow Hawke as he explores the mysterious Common Realm, meets new friends and foes, battles to survive, and learns more about his growing power and inner strength. Note to LitRPG Fans: This novel concentrates primarily on action-adventure, with a focus on power-leveling and learning new magic and class subsystems. Future novels will deal with town and stronghold management. There is also a harem (fade-to-black, non explicit) subplot that plays a part in the story without detracting from it.

A new threat is rising: an ancient Labyrinth has begun to disgorge Chaos-tainted monsters upon the countryside. He must join forces with old foes to confront those responsible: the Court of Thorns, Chaos-worshipers who seek nothing less than the destruction of the Realms and the overthrow of the Makers. To survive, Hawke must master his new abilities and learn how to use them. And he must do so without losing his humanity.

He's been making up crap and writing it down for fun and profit ever since.
