The Heroic Villain 1

By: Charles Dean

Narrated by: Jeff Hays, Justin Thomas James, Annie Ellicott

Although he was once the promising young CEO of a successful corporation, Lucas abandoned everything he knew and retreated from both the real world and his demanding life following a horrific accident. In order to cope with tragic loss, he began spending his time in virtual reality, lazing about in the sun, and living a carefree life.

When he learns that his escapist paradise is being threatened and is about to disappear, however, Lucas is once again forced to take action and do what he does best: take charge. With newfound purpose, Lucas desperately begins making plans that will not only save the world that he has come to love but also propel him back into the spotlight once again -- only this time as the villain.

In this GameLit LitRPG adventure, Lucas overthrows local lords, assumes command of the evil Imperium’s forces, and begins designing a dungeon that no player would ever want to miss out on. As he struggles to evolve his monsters and create an entourage of minions in order to become the greatest villain ever, however, Lucas realizes that things aren’t going to be as easy as they initially seemed.

This book is brought to you from the author of the LitRPG series War Aeternus, The Bathrobe Knight, and Merchant of Tiqpa.

Critic reviews

"A great start to a new series from a master storyteller! The MC being more of an antihero is a new twist for Charles, and I’m really enjoying it!" (Dave Willmarth, writer of the Greystone Chronicles)

someone done goofed.

chapter 10 of this book is literally the last chapter from book 3. This massive editing mistaketotally ruined the flowof the story, left our necessary information and events and completely spoiled the end of the third book.

please fix this, and do better I'm the future.
