Every hero must eventually face the fact that each victory only leads to another battle in this fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
As a young, powerless transplant from Earth, Victor Sandoval was destined for certain death in the slave pits on Fanwath. But he had other ideas—bigger, bolder, bloodier ideas. Now known as Lord Victor after a hard-fought campaign to claim the newly christened Free Marches, his legend grows beyond his own lifetime.
With yet another conquest, Victor must set order in his new realms, a task more daunting than battle with all it entails. But above all, he must somehow save his dear ally Edeya, whose spirit was stolen in the chaos of war. That alone will require Victor to level up not as a warrior but as a leader and politician. Because saving Edeya means portals to other worlds. And portals mean coming up with one hell of a lot of scratch. After all, working the System isn’t cheap.
The first step may prove the hardest, as Victor must visit the settlement founded by humans from another timeline—First Landing—to raise some much-needed Energy beads to power his colony stone and begin his quest. It’s a place where beings from all realms have since created a haven of freedom and light and where all are welcome. It’s also a place where certain sinister parties are trying to take control, suppress those they deem unworthy, and besmirch Victor’s awesome reputation. But soon, he’ll make them wish they were very, very far away . . .
