Dystopian Litrpg

After quitting her job as a therapist, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even. It thus came as no small shock to her when she was chosen by a god. Suddenly thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are par for the course, Tess will find that simply surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and spiders keep trying to claw her face off.

Here you are, Book 4. You wanted more dragon action? You’re getting it—bigger, nastier, and ready to burn the world down. Ren’s getting richer, Herald’s in the mix, and the District Historical Society just picked the wrong alchemist and professor combo to mess with. Expect more worldbuilding, nastier politics, and answers to questions nobody wanted—like where the hell a gloom sprite even came from. Oh—and mounts are back. Cheddar the Furious, Muenster of War, and Cheezenado lead the charge in a full-on rat cavalry stampede.

Riven Thane has risen from survivor to sovereign, carving out his very own necropolis in a world shaped by apocalypse and bloodshed. Ruling over the undead, he maintains tight control of his territory. But power never exists in a vacuum. As his influence spreads, so do the malignant forces determined to test it. Across Panu, factions mobilize and ancient cults move in secret, seeking to claim all that Riven has built. Battle champions, grotesque monsters, and powers from the great beyond have begun to take a vested interest in the vampire king and the empire forming under his banner.

Since the apocalypse began, Bain Lee has survived with a class that should never have been intended for combat. Using his ability to see into the true nature of the System, he has turned the ocularist class into a powerhouse on the battlefield. His time on this new Earth has changed him, transformed him into what he was always meant to be: A leader among humanity, a general among all sentient species.

War is brewing on the horizon... Whether it was in the Netherworld, the Mortal Realm, or the Spirit Plane, war was coming. For some, it was already here. It was not something Salvos wanted to partake in, since she just wanted to protect her friends, but when her very first companion wanted to overthrow the Demon King, she had no choice but to help him in his rebellion in freeing the legions from their servitude. But when she has to face down Jofis the Disgraced Hellking, former ruler of the Netherworld, she is forced to learn that perhaps she is not as prepared for war as she thought she was.

Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk.

In a world where deceit shaped its history, a new era of rifts dawns. Red rifts, harbingers of divine wrath, bring forth gods and monsters, challenging humanity's very existence. As anarchy rises, the remnants of humanity cling to survival, relying on the Hunters who brave these rifts to keep them at bay. Amidst the chaos, the so-called heroes maintain their rule over the fractured land, backed by the powerful Association that seeks to control the coming change. But change is inevitable, and Sloan will be at the heart of it.

Book 3 of Towerbound cranks everything up. The Scrap Rats are rising—and so is a world-ending dragon. Ren was just a cowardly alchemist hiding behind potions and excuses. But when a global event drops a world boss into their lap, the guild needs more than a healer—they need Super Ren.

As the years start running out, you often find that life has left you completely alone. This is what has happened to one military veteran who’s lived through many of history’s “flash points”. In order to inject some color into his final days, the former soldier signs a contract with a company that has developed a fully immersive virtual world. Project Alpha Rome is a multi-level city plagued by endless wars between humans and mutants. You can play as either species. The best argument in favor of living here is the firepower and the reflexes of your weapons.

In Book 2 of the Towerbound series, the Scrap Rats finally have a home base—and a target on their back. Dungeon spawn are shifting, guilds are sending spies, and the in-game economy is breaking down. Ren isn’t a hero. He’s a regressor with a potion empire, a bunch of orphans to protect, and just enough foresight to stay one step ahead.

In a grim, not-so-distant future, humanity is in crisis. A deadly pandemic has confined billions to their homes, leaving society completely isolated in their homes and utterly dependent on the mega-global Chum Corporation. For some lucky beta testers, the only escape is to log into New Arcadia—a real-as-life role-playing game set in a gleaming 1990s-inspired city. There, they can enjoy the freedoms denied to them in the real world—like Prime Beta Tester John Chambers, who has reinvented himself in New Arcadia as street-fighting hero Blaze.

Surviving the first days of the apocalypse, William is a wreck and hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems. The reality-warping apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games. To survive, he must learn how the new uncooperative system works, choose a class without any real knowledge of what it does and create a place safe from the spawning horrors.

For Daniel, a zombie apocalypse couldn’t have happened at a worse time. If he’d been back at the farm, he might have stood a better chance than most. Instead, Daniel woke up in a distant hotel room armed with nothing but a hangover.

This is a collection of short stories written after each main Towerbound book was published—so for the best experience, listen to Books 1–3 of the Towerbound LitRPG series first.

Deine Eltern lassen sich scheiden, darum bist du nach deinem 16. Geburtstag zu einer erbärmlichen Existenz als Angehöriger der untersten sozialen Schicht verdammt. Deine Freundin aus der Nachbarschaft verbessert durch eine Schönheitsoperation ihr Aussehen und levelt schnell, um dich zu beeindrucken. Ein Schlafender Gott hat dir etwas Macht gegeben, doch dafür verlangt er absoluten Gehorsam und Loyalität. Obendrein will die Vernichtende Seuche, dass ihr Abgesandter alle Lebewesen infizieren soll. Zu dumm, dass du ihr Abgesandter bist.

Alex Sheppard fliegt zu den Dämonischen Spielen, in der Hoffnung, dass er und seine Freunde Malik und Tissa das Unmögliche schaffen und siegen können. Fast 400 Spieler, die Besten der Besten aus ganz Disgardium, sind zu den Spielen eingeladen worden: Champions der Arena, der Battlefields, der Greifenrennen und der Tiergefährten-Kämpfe sowie die allerbesten Handwerker und Großmeister ihrer Berufe. Alle warten auf die Ankunft von Scyth, der Klasse-A-Gefahr, der nun beweisen muss, was er ohne seine göttlichen Fähigkeiten leisten kann.

Die Armeen der Allianz, des Imperiums und der Neutralen sowie alle Spitzenspieler und Verhinderer-Clans sind von Nergal dem Leuchtenden aufgerufen worden, in der Lakharianischen Wüste unter seinem Banner gegen den schrecklichsten Feind allen Lebens in den Krieg zu ziehen: Scyth. Doch Scyth muss sich dem Kampf nicht allein stellen. Er hat die Unterstützung einer Legion von hirnlosen, wilden Völkern und grauenhaften Monstern wie dem Zombie-Gitarrenspieler Infect, dem Todesmagier Crawler und dem untoten Krieger Bomber.

Anfangs galten die Kaninchen mit den messerscharfen Zähnen rund um das Dorf als der größte Feind für die Bewohner. Aber dann kreuzten die Eichhörnchen auf… Letztendlich wurden die Menschen auch mit ihnen fertig und alles schien gut zu laufen, bis - Überraschung! - die Wölfe auftauchten. Während die Anzahl der Feinde immer weiter zunimmt, offenbart sich endlich ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels. Eine andere vernunftbegabte Spezies! Möglicherweise können sich die Menschen mit den Goblins zusammenschließen und gemeinsam an ihrer Zukunft arbeiten.

Nachdem Alex Sheppard in die reale Welt zurückgekehrt ist, muss er feststellen, dass das Spiel für ihn vorbei ist. Mit seinen 16 Jahren hat er die ausgefeilten Pläne der mächtigsten Leute der Welt zunichtegemacht und ihren Zorn auf sich gezogen. Nun sinnen sie auf Rache, und sie wissen, wo sie ihn finden können. Verglichen mit ihnen waren die kriminelle Triade, das heimtückische Kartell und die heuchlerischen Verhinderer harmlos. Da seine Todfeinde nun den Planeten beherrschen, muss Alex außerhalb der Legalität operieren.

Wegen seiner hervorragenden Leistungen in den Kämpfen des Spiels der Reiche ist Scyth – im Inferno als Tiefling Hakkar bekannt – von Prinz Belial zu einer Audienz eingeladen worden und hat Funken des Höllenfeuers von ihm erhalten. Mit den Funken des Höllenfeuers als Waffe ist Scyth jetzt bereit, Holdest zu erobern und den Nukleus der Vernichtenden Seuche zu eliminieren.
