Nick Gallows’ quest to stop the apocalypse reaches new heights—and new stakes—in this action-infused fourth installment of the Apocalypse Regression LitRPG series!
The first mass dungeon break in history grows nearer. Nick and his growing guild are training against time to be ready to stop this “Red Death” before it ever happens, but no one outside Nick’s closest circle knows this true purpose behind their intense tactical team-combat exercises. The secret weighs heavily on Nick as he considers revealing the truth of his regression to his found family, the Walters, and his other allies, hoping they will believe him and still support him when he needs them most.
Meanwhile, the preparations for the Red Death take Nick and the Daedalus Guild on a mass, multi-team raid on the medieval Ecto Sanctuary dungeon, a battlefield of vengeful specters and bands of roving undead. The adventure promises levels, skills, and rare loot—if Nick can get everyone home alive.
But the undead are a simple-if-lethal threat compared to Nick’s cousins, all angling to best Nick and each other in the upcoming competition to decide the heir to the Gallows dynasty. Allies and enemies could be one and the same when Nick receives an offer that changes the game completely and could make or break Nick’s world with the Red Death only days away.
When time weighs heavily, it's time to hit the weights in this regression LitRPG/Gamelit story of dungeon-diving, leveling stats, and facing down the apocalypse!

The Grind - THE PICKAXE OF A THOUSAND ATTRIBUTES is a fantastic novel written by two of the best Russian LitRPG authors, Dan Sugralinov (Disgardium, Re-Start, World 99, Sidus), and Andrey Nechaev (AlterGame). https://geni.us/1000pickaxe_Book1
It is set in a fictional future Russia and the main character, Egor, is a fresh college grad, who takes his classmate’s advice and joins a popular VR game, hoping to earn some cash. But with a tight budget that won’t cover a full account or a fancy VR immersion capsule, he opts for a free trial account and fires up his ancient gaming console (a PS6).
Laggy gameplay, crappy graphics on his old TV, a sluggish internet connection—who cares about all that when you’re not there to play? Egor’s plan is simple: mine ore in the sandbox and slaughter hordes of rabbits, all in the name of scoring some sweet loot. Little does he know, he’s about to stumble upon an item that will make the game’s elite players stop at nothing to take him down…

For Nick Gallows, time is everything, his most important resource as he tries to prevent the Apocalypse. Yet, time is also an enemy, a clock ticking down to the death of humanity—and faster than Nick knows. The clandestine Forebears of Ingenga snake their shadowy tendrils through every echelon of society in an effort to expedite the end, and after Nick foiled their plans once, their crosshairs have settled on him and his burgeoning guild. Meanwhile, Nick trains tirelessly and takes on dungeons with his team, but he remains focused on the Endless Night, the day the Apocalypse truly began in his last life, the day horrific monsters, dragons, and flesh-hungry demons rip open an unsealable rift between their world and his. The Endless Night is Nick’s nightmare and Ingenga’s dream. But will Nick and his friends survive the reality?

A wonderful new story from a fantastic LitRPG author. Out now!

Library System Reset: Overdue is LIVE!

The day is finally here!

This book holds a little bit of my heart. If you like magic, talking furniture, and owls - you might enjoy this book!

Narrated by the fabulous Andrea Parsneau the book is also live on Audible!

Blurb:
The Library once stood proud as a beacon of magic and power.

For 500 years, it has been broken.

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly she is the sole existing potential Librarian. Now it’s not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the Library system before the universe itself disintegrates.

Once she’s settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work- just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no Librarian for the last several centuries.

And once that’s done she can start gathering overdue books.

All 18,042 of them to start with.

There’ll be a helluva lot of late fees to process.

Blaise Corvin has a new series out and it's good. Go check it out!

New book launch!

Sponsored Apocalypse is the (LitRPG) story of Miles, a guy who has been let down by the world, by other people, and just wants to be left alone.

He suddenly sees a quest window one day with a countdown to the end of the world. It takes some time, but he decides after some introspection and experimentation that he is not crazy. Since he decides he's sane, he needs to prepare for whatever his quest window is counting down to.

What eventually happens is completely unplanned for, though.

This is a dark story with flashes of hope and human nobility, similar to Apocalypse Cultivation.

After all, the end of the world doesn't only bring out the worst in people...sometimes it can bring out the best, too.

THIS IS REAL. Seven auteurs. One prompt.

Soundbooth Theater’s inaugural collection of April Fools’ Day shorts, Jacob’s Untouched Cheese, poses the question, “Can a group of artists create over two hours of content based around a forlorn dollop of ricotta erroneously served with a vegan’s lemon sorbetto dessert, and — perhaps more importantly — should they?”

In breaking with our April Fools’ tradition of releasing pure trolls, this anthology was a chance for us to bring together an army of talented writers, actors, musicians, and engineers to channel their gifts into something truly random and off-the-wall.

All proceeds benefit the ASPCA. Check out the link in the comments!

Scavengers: Quest Academy Book 2, by Brian J. Nordon is now available on Kindle and KU

Change is coming to Quest Academy. Can Sal rise to the occasion?
When the second years nearly lose their lives in a failed excursion, it’s the first years that pay the price. The curriculum is being radically altered to challenge the students, which means the stakes just got a lot higher.

Salvatore’s worst nightmare is taking on a demon, but if he wants to stay at Quest Academy, how will he prove to himself and everyone else that he can succeed? He’s going to have to take on an entire floor of a demonic tower before the first semester comes to a close.

That’s the least of Sal’s problems as he navigates through his first student mission away from the school. Sal is more comfortable at the crafting table, but he needs to survive in a reclaimed zone, outside of the academy, with the worst team of misfits you could possibly imagine.

It’s time to push the limits of Mythcrafting…

In the city of Puerto Manada, orphans never get a chance they don’t make for themselves—especially not rare badgerboy orphans. Struggling to even find a little bread to feed himself, he survives by working as a pickpocket for local crime bosses, while his world is ravaged by a war between its two great superpowers. But everything changes when an enigmatic member of the elite wolfmen hands the badgerboy a mysterious package to deliver to a faraway land.

Lured by the promise of answers about his deceased mother—as well as a decent amount of silver—the badgerboy embarks on a daring journey as he runs from thieves, assassins, and the authoritarian government, while traveling on the high seas and fighting his way through monster-filled lairs. Assuming new identities as he crosses some of the biggest battlefields in the world, the badgerboy must continue to hone his magical powers if he wants to survive long enough for the package to reach its destination. Will the orphan fulfill his mission and get his rich reward, or will he get caught and face his doom?
