When virtual reality becomes real enough that people feel as if they're being transported to another world, Valia Online arrives.

A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all. Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord.

A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he'll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't.

As the game becomes too real and touches a part of him that he'd rather leave buried, he is faced with two questions: Who is he, really? And who should he become?

Challenge is book one of the Unbound Deathlord series, a LitRPG saga.

holy s*** I don't need to know his stats that haven't changed every 30 minutes

We don't need to see the MC stats every 30 minutes

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

And that is the reading of the character sheet at the end of each chapter probably great to have in the printed book but just annoying in an audio book

Fun but for one thing

I enjoyed the ostensible very much. The protagonist was quite fun to play the game along with and he kept the surprises coming. Excellent idea to use stat points instead of EXP, very original! This was a great story I would recommend to any fan of Lit RPG. I’ll definitely pick up #2.

Good fun!
