Ruthless

The end of the world affords a restless everyman the chance to be a fearless warrior in this exciting apocalyptic adventure filled with magic and monsters. James Robard was a risk-taking con artist and thief before he turned over a new leaf as a loving husband and a dull suit in a law firm. He's never felt so unadventurous. That is, until the System descends upon Earth and he's initiated into a thrilling game world of magic and mayhem, training for exhilarating challenges that make him feel alive again. With much of the Earth's population already wiped out, James's first mission is to survive. But the System sees much more in him-like his potential as a warrior. After all, it's judging him by his nefarious past. It knows he'd kill to outlast the dangers ahead and be reunited with his family. In fact, it's counting on it. It seems the System has found its game villain. Forging a path of escalating stamina, mana, and skills, James is tossed into violent combat with ravenous monsters, treacherous humans, diabolical cults, and gods of less-than-divine intervention. The life-and-death risks and total abandon are giving James a rush. He's been given free rein to be ruthless. But being a pioneer of chaos has its consequences. Torn between his power-hungry impulses and better instincts, James embarks on a journey of self-discovery through a cataclysmic new realm. And along with a band of fellow survivors, he's about to find out his true purpose in the System's apocalyptic endgame.

A hero and his family fight to survive and reunite in a strange and terrifying new reality in the propulsive second installment of this epic LitRPG series. A System apocalypse has ripped humanity away from its home planet, Earth-73, firing the starting pistol on a marathon race for survival against beastly odds. And in the violent magical worlds of the System's "Orientation," it's getting harder to tell the monsters from the savage humans. Mina and her younger sister, Yulia, have been dropped on a frozen wasteland to live with other Earthlings in a remote settlement. But soon people start turning up dead. Their game has begun. It's kill or be killed. Yet all Mina can wonder is: Where in this horrifying new world is her husband, James? After leaping into a mysterious abyss to escape a diabolical cult leader, James floats in the void between worlds. As he endures testing by a trickster god, the band of survivors he left behind flees from the cult and into the hunting ground of an even greater threat. Now James must choose whether to go to the rescue of the group that has come to see him as a leader and protector or rush to his family, who are in a position of unique danger themselves . . .

The Orientation may be over, but on a postapocalyptic Earth, the beastly games and humanity's fight for survival are just beginning. James Robard returns to a System-integrated Earth a changed man in a world of ruin and disorder. A conquering hero of the Orientation, rewarded with the ruling title of Fisher King, he has a duty to rebuild civilization. It might look like Florida, but it's the Fisher Kingdom now. The good news is that James is reunited with his wife, Mina, newly gifted in magic; their newborn son; and Mina's sister. The impetus to stay strong amid the chaos has galvanized them, their friends, and their neighbors toward the goal of reconquering Earth for humanity. It's pledge allegiance and stick together-or die. Now for the bad news: James isn't the only ruler gaining control. The monsters that weren't slaughtered during Orientation are now resettling on Earth and occupying every outlying territory. They abide by no laws, just killer instinct. They're coordinated, amassing, and getting hungry. But as a clash between species threatens to erupt, James is learning an apocalypse will not only bring out the worst in actual monsters, but in his fellow humans as well. His idealism in restoring peace is edging toward fear. The world he strives to save has never felt so dangerous . . .
