Gamer's Guide to Beating the Tutorial

An ex-pro gamer's body and mind are on the line as he fights for his life in the Hell level of a mysterious "Tutorial" in this dark fantasy LitRPG. Lo Fennrick is going to die. Maybe later this month, maybe this very week. Either way, the homeless ex-pro gamer is only going to avoid starving if he freezes to death first. On a snowy New Year's Eve, Fennrick negotiates one last hurrah in a seedy internet cafe, but at the stroke of midnight, he receives a tantalizing invitation: "You have been invited to join the Tutorial." And when presented with the available difficulty levels, he makes the obvious choice: Hell. Soon, Fennrick finds himself in frenzied, violent combat, and it's a toss-up as to which he'll lose first: his life or what little sanity he has left. With his criminal record, estranged family, and nonexistent future, he's ready to accept death. But with monsters lurking in every corner, he's surprised to find himself battling all comers-human or otherwise-in a desperate attempt to save his own worthless self. Can Fennrick emerge from Hell with a single shred of his sanity intact-or will it be game over?

Unlike the challenges Lo Fennrick has faced so far, the one that lies ahead can't be solved with brute force and manslaughter, in this dark fantasy LitRPG. When former MMORPG champion (and current indebted, isolated madman) Lo Fennrick joined the Tutorial, it seemed grit, dedication, and a willingness to kill were all he needed in order to beat each hellish floor. But as he enters the ashy wastes of this next one, he finds a familiar face awaiting him-alongside a challenge that might prove to be more than he can handle . . . Together with fellow challenger and former rival Moleman (who may or may not now be his friend) and the goblin Simel (of whose friendship he's fortunately entirely certain), Fennrick-or PrissyKittyPrincess, as he's come to be known-must make his way across the world of Purgatory. One thing's for sure: he'll do everything in his power to do the right thing by his new allies, no matter how tenuous their bonds. And as Fennrick battles his way through savage beasts and harsh elements, he'll soon come to realize that making-and keeping-a friend can be far more difficult than killing.

From the author of Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same: In the deadly Tutorial, an ex-pro gamer must face the consequences of his actions. Lo Fennrick has been through Hell-literally. Surviving the levels of the Tutorial has been hard enough. His body has taken beating after beating, and his mind has disintegrated numerous times over. But on top of all that, it seems the gods have voted on his removal from the game, which would condemn him to an unknown future. Their aversion is hardly unexpected. After all, he's already assassinated an emperor, murdered the king of Acheron, killed thousands of others, and eaten human flesh. Few would be disappointed if he suddenly exploded into a cloud of confetti. And now rumors are swirling about a Tutorial-wide tournament, spanning all difficulty levels, all servers, and all floors. It's the opening the human leaders who run the servers have been looking for to finally try Fennrick-PrissyKittyPrincess to them-for his crimes against both humanity and goblinkind. Defended by his lone friend, Moleman, he must thread the line between guilt and innocence as he simultaneously fights his way through the tournament and his own trial. His guilt is certain, but what of his punishment? With his stats at such high levels, can he even be executed? With the entire world seemingly against him, Fennrick will fight off packs of drowned dogs, try out a paid internship, escape a pit of snakes, and maybe, if he's lucky, make a few new friends along the way. All in a day's work for the most hated man in the Tutorial . . .
