When Harris took his video game-obsessed teenage son camping, he was hoping for a bonding session in the great outdoors teaching his boy the essentials of how to survive in the wilderness.
But when mysterious forces destroy society and impose a game-like system upon the survivors, Harris and Leo discover they have a lot to teach each other. Harris can’t survive this new world without Leo’s gaming experience, and Leo can’t survive without his dad’s survival instincts and skills.
Now they have three level up, gear up, get home to mom.
Most will die. Some will survive. A small few will thrive.
The mysterious Overlords destroyed all electronics on Earth, imposed a game-like System, and unleashed ravenous horrors upon the planet.
But something went wrong.
My name’s Arthur, and I should have been a player since I’m a normal human. Or I was.
Thanks to a glitch in the System, I’ve been turned into a lowly goblin with the Engineer class. So now everybody wants to kill me, the other monsters want to eat me, and the players want some easy XP.
I should be easy prey, but they’re going to find out what happens when you give a goblin engineer human intelligence. They won’t know what hit ‘em.
In an instant the world changed, and the Earth became the battlefield of the gods in their Great Game…
Thomas Grimshaw thought the hardest part of his day was going to be scaling a sheer wall in Yosemite on his climbing trip, but the inscrutable gods had other plans. In a flash they terraformed the planet and imposed the rules of the Great Game.
Why Earth? Why do the gods compete against each other? Do the human ‘players’ have free will, or are they mere pawns? Why was he given a special class option to select from? Thomas will discover these mysteries in time, but for now simply surviving is critical. Luckily, the Spellfletcher class, an arcane arrowsmith, is built for survival in a harsh world.
With great danger comes great rewards, and surviving can become thriving in this new world. Thomas might just discover that the Great Game is one that he can win…
