Taming Destiny

A desperate man is thrust into an unforgiving wilderness, where survival must be earned and every choice has a cost, in this slow-burn LitRPG adventure. Markus Wolfe has lost his parents, his girlfriend, and now, his job. Stripped of confidence and purpose, it seems he's at his lowest point. But when an apparition appears, offering him a mysterious inheritance, Markus is given something he urgently needs: direction. Transmigrated into a vast wilderness with no signs of civilization, Markus is stripped of everything he's known and forced to survive with limited tools, unfamiliar rules, and absolutely no margin for error. And as he takes his first steps to earn his place in this new reality, he quickly learns nothing will come easily. Now Markus is tasked with the all-too-simple yet impossibly challenging objective of lasting an entire year in this strange land. Armed with limited Inventory, a map, and the unfamiliar Tamer Class, he seeks alliances to help defend against the monstrosities that lurk in the shadows. He should be prepared for anything, but surprises are waiting around every corner. If he hopes to make it out alive, he'll have to adapt to his new existence-and fast. Because the predators stalking the wilderness are only part of the danger-and the promises of Markus's unseen benefactor may carry a price of their own. This is a kill-or-be-killed world, and Markus will have to fight his way to the top of the food chain . . . or become some beast's lunch. Welcome, traveler. You're going to need more than luck.

A man must determine who he wants to be as he faces new threats and battles prehistoric killing machines in the second book of this gripping portal fantasy. Ever since Markus Wolfe transmigrated to a lizard-eat-lizard world in which nature has reverted to an almost Jurassic-level wilderness, he's been uncertain of his patron Nicholas's ultimate goal-but he has learned how to increase his skills and outlast the man-shredding beasts that cross his path. Things get personal when Kalanthia, Markus's leopard companion-known as the Great Predator to her enemies-is attacked, and her precious cub, Lathani, is captured during the struggle. Having already overcome so many odds, Markus isn't prepared to let his luck run out just yet. Now he's on a new quest to find Lathani alive, and he's determined to make sure the odds remain in his favor. Accompanied by Bastet, his raptorcat ally, Markus embarks toward perils unknown with one pressing question: Who-or what-in this uncivilized world could be crazy enough to get on Kalanthia's bad side? Tracking Lathani, they find the chilling answer in a desperate and dodgy village of lizard folk who've been driven to the brink by a fast-encroaching forest of sentient killer trees. As Markus faces this unexpected threat and the darkness that lies ahead of him, he realizes this journey into the treacherous valley isn't merely a survival mission but one of self-discovery-and it might just reveal who he truly is . . .

In this gripping portal fantasy, a man must gather his strength to fulfill his promises and meet the demanding challenges of the wilderness he now calls home. Despite barely surviving his arrival on a brutal world, Markus Wolfe has overcome each trial he's been confronted with since then. He's no longer just a stranger lost in the wild but the very heart of a growing pack. But with old wounds still gnawing at him and new responsibilities piling up, he must find a way to protect those who now look to him for leadership . . . even if he's not entirely sure he can protect himself. Meanwhile, Markus also made a promise to his new ally, River: in exchange for the lizard-man's help rescuing the leopard cub Lathani, Markus will save River's people. But that means facing a forest of carnivorous trees. Markus will do everything in his power to defeat them, but his Core space still bears the scars of absorbing too much Pure Energy chasing false promises in days past. If he hopes to make it through this next round of tribulations, he'll need to unlock a new kind of magic . . . But it's not all war and wounds. As Markus's team grows, so do the bonds-and tensions-between its members. From prickly alliances to Lathani testing her claws, they'll navigate the tangled web of loyalty as raw magic hums through the land. And when Fenrir the lizog is abducted, the pack's trust will be tested as they risk their lives to rescue him.
