Empire in the Clouds

A Dungeon Core LitRPG Story (Rise of Kers, Book 3)

Kers’ dungeon flew too high. Now he has the attention of a god.

Therrill, the ruling deity of the planet whose very atmosphere Kers resides in, is on the warpath, hellbent on his destruction.

Worse, his dungeon fairy, Selena, has been taken captive and stands accused of treason. The Overslime is missing. And civil unrest threatens to boil over in his companion city, Liraffemyn.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Kers will have to spawn his craziest mobs, devise his most devious traps, and expand his influence toward the stars if he is to have any hope of striking back to save his family.

But if Kers has learned one thing from his time as a dungeon core, it’s how to deal with a bit of altitude…

Perfect wrap-up

This book was so good and original and humorous I'm loving this writer and studio!

The capstone of a great book series

The (what i assume is) last book in the series and what an end for sure. Twists and turn i couldn't see until they were right next to me. I know I would have loved a quick recap chapter but other than that it was great. JTJ and the rest of the crew was amazing and the cornerstone of the book and series!

Now that’s how you end a series

It’s everything you’ve been waiting for and then some. It’s time to go big or go home and they are the home. While the story comes to a definitive conclusion it is surely not the end of the line. Where ever you go after this I wish you well. A story may stop being told but they never really end.

Very good!

Book 2 left the story in a bit of a cliffhanger, and I am glad to say book 3 brought about a satisfying conclusion to the majority of events. That being said, the universe and writing is some of the best in the dungeon genre and I hope/wish the author writes more in this setting or genre in the future.
