The fabric of reality is bursting at the seams. The gnolls’ negotiators are knocking at the gates of the Kremlin. Ancient half-forgotten gods take on a new lease on life as AlterWorld’s avatars. A spark of the Creator’s almighty will is still alive in the hearts of millions of players, obeying the impulses of their faith and knowledge while reshaping the Universe to suit their unspoken needs.
Initially AlterWorld came complete with infernal planes. So how about confronting a few demons? Not the cartoon characters dreamed up by some game designer: These are the true spawn of evil, archdemons and princes of hell, the vengeful retributors that our faith has delivered unto this newborn world.
Max has a lot on his plate. As a clan and alliance leader, he has to repay his debt to the gods and prepare for the upcoming battle for the First Temple. And still, how could he say no to a potential ally? Could he leave desperate fellow players without help? And how could he ignore the vast unclaimed territories just begging to be taken? Soon the volcanic wastelands of Inferno will shudder from the march of the steel legions. Its lands will awaken to the tramping of the countless mounts, players’ pets, and familiars – and groan under the thunderous gait of the many assault golems.
I can’t wait for the next one While I find some issues with the pacing of the story, I still enjoy the book immensely. LitRPG is quickly becoming one of my favorite genres. I hope to see more Play to Live books as well as more authors putting forth their own works.Â
best book ive read in years the best book in the series, by far. i loved the first three books in this series. but this one took it up a notch. ive read 1000,s of books in my life. this book is in my all time top 5. the world building, the characters, the action are all great. even if you never played a video game in your life, you should get this series. i wish i could give it 6 *
Nitpicking Started off slow, but the second half of the book definitely made up for it.Â
