For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.

She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.

She might not be a Hero - but if she can fake it long enough, she might still be able to save the world.

After leaving Blizzard, he worked at other amazing companies like Cryptic Studios and Obsidian Entertainment.

Rowe has gone and made another beautiful piece of work, this time in audiobook form. I ate up the Dragon Quest and Legend of Zelda references. The voices of Suzy Jackson and Steve West are absolutely lovely! I cannot emphasize how good of a listen this is. To everyone involved, keep up the good work!

Another wonderful book by Rowe

The creative writing from the perspective of a character that lives inside of a RPG/video game world was great. If you are familiar at all with either of these things you are going to love how the story plays with mechanics from both of these. I don’t wanna give any spoilers here but seriously we need that sequel. I need to know what happens next!!!

I loved this! sequel PLEASE!!!!
