When quiet Orrin and his extroverted best friend, Daniel, were transported to a strange RPG-based world, not much changed between them. Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Since then, they’ve toppled villains, saved cities, foiled devious plots, and fought their way through hordes of lethal foes, each encounter forcing Orrin to step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth―with powers he didn’t know he had. Of course, Daniel gets all the glory, but Orrin doesn’t mind. He’s just happy they’re both still alive.

But in the fourth volume of this hit LitRPG fantasy series, the adventurous duo may soon find everything they know called into question. The Demon Lord is at the gates, his dark horde ready to attack. Orrin and Daniel are prepared to defend the people of Asmea, but civil unrest brews in the heart of Dey, where talk of rebellion grows daily. Meanwhile, Orrin has stumbled on to a mystery that could have far-reaching implications with each unraveling thread.
