Altered realms: ascension

Some people dream of getting a second chance at life. For Eli Miller, it was never a choice.

Most of Eli’s life has been spent running, doing everything in his power to protect his family. His world is plagued by war, wild magic, and unimaginable monsters. But none of these threats are more dangerous than the immortal beings known as Adventurers. They are players and Entarra is their game. Its citizens aren’t real. Yet, to the billions of near-sentient AI that live there, the game world is the only one they will ever know. It is where they are born, live, and die. Eli is no different. 

After being attacked with a strange weapon, Eli awakens as the thing he fears most: an adventurer. Struggling to cope with his new reality, he finds himself in the middle of the most nefarious plot of all: His world, and everything he loves, is about to be deleted. 

Reviews:

 "An interesting take on being stuck in a VR Game with an NPC becoming a Player. The reason for this bug, the learning ability and growth of Eli could have some serious implications on the real world and very weird consequences on the game itself as shown on some of the initial chapters." - Thalyndor ★★★★★
 
"There is more depth and history to the characters in this book than in many LitRPG/GameLit I've read. The emotions and reactions make sense given the context and aren't just tossed in to add drama then forgotten moments later (Thank you!). - KARENEE ★★★★★
 
"The story is great and I liked the logic behind how and why everything was happening with the system bugging out. That was clever. The story is set up nicely and it's a fun read. It's got depth, likable characters, and decent world-building." - NIKUROU ★★★★

An Epic LitRPG Saga for people who love Log Horizon, Ready Player One and The Matrix.

Sample text:

Chapter 1

A chill western breeze flowed through Dawnmoon Bay, towards the far off Wildwood, carrying the stale scent of death with it. The city of Dawnport, its patchwork tapestry of wood and stone buildings, sat perched on a low cliff above frigid waters. Saltwater slapped against rotting wooden pylons, filling the streets with its corrosive mist, as breathless whispers dissipated into the wind.

“The Wildwoods, a hunter. His name is Eli.” One man said to another, as a pool of crimson liquid gathered at the base of an anvil bathed in cool green light.

Miles from the city tucked away in a small cabin; a man tossed in his sheets. His eyes were still closed as he took in the low chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves from the surrounding trees. Today is another day, he thought as the sounds of a crackling cook-fire danced through his kitchen and into his ears. A faint snap accompanied the crack of fresh-cut vegetables followed shortly by a sweet jaunty tune, humming in the background. His wife, Kata, was sounding out a simple Wode Elf folk song about adventure. Fried eggs with rye porridge and roasted vegetables again, he thought, as a smile crept across his face.

Eli’s life fit him like an old suit, always the same, always dependable. He needed nothing fancy; he wanted nothing extraordinary. The monotony and repetition made things safe, manageable. He had lived in the city, and it didn’t suit him or his wife. There were far too many people and far too many problems. He would wake up, chop wood, check the snares, help tend the field, chop more wood, and teach his children their numbers and letters. But today was different; he felt it in his bones. A stiff breeze fluttered against the shutters, causing him to shiver. Top notes of pork fat, blended with middle notes of sweetness and bottom notes of smoke, filled the room.
