Through an infinite number of lifetimes—and in the least likely of places—an immortal discovers what they value most in this contemplative fantasy novel.

Stuck in a cycle of endless reincarnations, Luri has experienced everything on offer—and more. Whether it's spending decades as a monk in religious contemplation or waging war across continents as a conqueror, they've absorbed knowledge, acquired skills, and grappled with all forms of emotion.

But despite the gifts their unique kind of immortality offers, Luri questions their existence, wondering if they really understand the meaning and purpose of it all. The only solace they have from their brooding thoughts is Bastion's: a multilevel, barlike haven in the realm outside of reality called "the Between."

Over and over, Luri and their fellow reincarnates appear in this space post-death, gathering to share tales of their pasts while drinking and playing board games prior to being reborn again. And the regulars, bonding over their stories and secrets, have become more of a family to Luri than any from various incarnations.

Now, regardless of the victories and defeats, the passions and the pain, and the long and limited years, this is the one home and family that Luri's found worth living and dying for—again and again . . .

The hit LitRPG fantasy tale—with nearly 300,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tropes include: reincarnation, quests, found family, and second chances.

Beautiful Story

This is a good book, excellent even, but there is such a sadness than runs through the whole story. It is a look at what happens between the death of a life and the beginning of another, in what is called the In-between.
I really enjoyed the book, the writing is good, the world building, such as it is (the book takes place in a type of inn), is also on-point. The characters are well fleshed out, the MC and their friends the most, but all who pass through their orbit have a decent back story.
I'm not sure if this is the start of a series or a one-off but either way it's a thoroughly enjoyable read (listen).
