It's time to be the hero you've always wanted to be. Marcus must evolve from a desperate novice into a powerful spellsword to survive in this foundational LitRPG action-fantasy adventure.

Marcus and his friends escape a stagnant society by entering a revolutionary virtual game world that defies their wildest imaginations. But from the moment he logs in, Marcus finds himself separated from his friends and thrown into a remote village under attack by a horde of goblins.

Forced into battle, Marcus rallies the beleaguered villagers and--with their help--manages to drive off the invading creatures. With the village in ruins and their supplies spoiled, the survivors desperately turn to Marcus for help rebuilding.

Realizing that this game is nothing like he's ever played before, Marcus is swept up into a whirlwind of adventure as he struggles to defend his new home, quickly finding that marauding goblins are the least of his problems.

He must master the blade. Command the arcane. And ascend.

Before titles like Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights with Monsters took the world by storm, ASCEND ONLINE stands the test of time as one of the founding books of the now-exploding LitRPG genre.

About the Series: Ascend Online follows the adventures of a group of friends that dive into a brand-new Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game - a game unlike anything that they've ever played before, with high stakes as real as life and death. Features a deep magic system, crafting mechanics, survival elements, town building, power progression, and so much more.

For fans of: Ready Player One, Sword Art Online, World of Warcraft, Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights with Monsters, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Solo Leveling, Re: Zero

The book hit my nostalgia buttons hard, and I can't wait to read the sequel. --Andrew Rowe, author of How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps and the Arcane Ascension series.
