Garrett Andrews will have to do all that, plus develop a mining colony on two separate planets if he wants to stand a chance at defeating the ancient, primordial evil bent on destroying the universe.

The World of Loreston was Erick Brighton's favorite video game. He'd become one of the top players and constantly stayed up all night, competing in tournaments and avoiding any real commitments besides feeding his two plants.

Turning into a Lord, one of the individuals gifted with the ability to create structures, he starts out as a lowly serf.
