David Dalglish

Conquer the artificial world. Level Up. Save humanity.

When an ancient alien artifact chooses research cadet Nick to explore the world stored within it--a place full of forgotten empires, heroes with strange powers, and monstrous creatures that he is automatically transported to when he sleeps--he finds he has no choice but to grow stronger within the realm of Yensere to uncover its mysteries.

But Yensere isn't all fun exploration. In this land guided by statistics and levels, Nick is seen as a demonic threat by its diseased inhabitants and always killed on-sight. When he dies in Yensere, he awakens in his bed upon the research station, his body in a state of panic; when he sleeps again, Yensere drags him back for another life... and another death.

Nick can only keep this up for so long before he dies for real. But there's a good chance Yensere holds the key to saving humanity from a terrible fate, and so he ventures on, getting stronger and stronger with each new enemy defeated. And there are a LOT of enemies to defeat...

David Dalglish

Conquer the artificial world. Level Up. Find your champions.

The plan to kill God-King Vaan and free Yensere from the effects of the frozen black sun is finally underway. Nick has accrued an impressive array of friends: the guarded spellblade, Frost; the world-generated fire scholar, Violette; and their bodiless AI guide, Cataloger. But they will need more help if they are to build an army capable of slaying a god. Hearing of a potential usurper king--one who can defy death--leads them to rescue a broken champion, Batal the Beast.

Free from his bondage, Batal rampages against his enemies, claiming multiple victories against the God-King. But Batal's true motivation is a guarded secret and he won't hesitate to use Nick and his friends to get exactly what he wants.

As Batal schemes, and Nick struggles to grow in power, Frost breaks from the group in search of her missing sister. As they get closer to the truth and Nick learns more about the incredible girl who willfully placed herself in the Artifact's grasp, they'll find that sometimes the questions you want answered most are the ones you'll wish you'd never asked...
