Roark offered her a grateful smile, then nodded. He would deal with tomorrow’s troubles tomorrow. For now, though, the Infernal creatures of the citadel’s first floor needed to celebrate while they could … especially since they might not have another chance.

If you love my books and need more litRPG right this minute, then you might want to try my other litRPG series Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm (Book 1). Already read that? Well, you might also like my Yancy Lazarus Series, which is gritty, tough, shoot-em-up Urban Fantasy at its finest. If Harry Dresden had an older, grumpier, drunker, more gun-happy uncle, you’d have Yancy Lazarus. Get the first book here: Strange Magic (Yancy Lazarus Episode One)

About the Authors
James A. Hunter
Hey all, my name is James Hunter and I’m a writer, among other things. So just a little about me: I’m a former Marine Corps Sergeant, combat veteran, and pirate hunter (seriously). I’m also a member of The Royal Order of the Shellback—’cause that’s a real thing. I’ve also been a missionary and international aid worker in Bangkok, Thailand. And, a space-ship captain, can’t forget that.
Okay … the last one is only in my imagination.
Currently, I’m a stay at home Dad—taking care of my two kids—while also writing full time, making up absurd stories that I hope people will continue to buy. When I’m not working, writing, or spending time with family, I occasionally eat and sleep.

I am invincible. I am a mutant. I have 3 hearts and was born with no eyes. I had eyes implanted later. I didn’t have hands, either, just stumps. When my eyes were implanted they asked if I would like hands as well and I said, “Yes, I’ll take those,” and pointed with my stump. But sometimes I'm a hellbender peeking out from under a rock. When it rains, I live in a music box.
But I’m also a tattoo-addict, coffee-junkie, drummer, and aspiring skateboarder. I love you. Let’s be friends.

Dedication
To our team at Shadow Alley Press—Tamara, Jeanette, Holly, Aaron, Alejandro, Amalia, Armen, Jay, Jake, Jess (lot of As and Js in there)—you guys rock and make this possible. We love you!
Special Thanks
James A. Hunter
I’d like to thank my wife, Jeanette, and my wonderful kids, Lucy and Sam. They are my constant motivation and inspiration. A special thanks to my parents, Greg and Lori. A quick shout out to my brother Aron and his whole brood—Eve, Brook, Grace, and Collin. Brit, probably you’ll never read this book either, but I love you too. I need to say thank you to eden Hudson, who is an amazingly talented author and the best co-author on the planet. Despite what she may say, All the mistakes came from me, and all the exciting, breathtaking, and pulse-pounding scenes came from her.
Here’s to the folks of Team Hunter, my awesome Alpha and Beta readers, and to all the awesome people at Shadow Alley Press: Aaron Crash, Jay, Jake, Alejandro, Jeanette (of course) and the amazing eden Hudson—the coolest writer on the planet. And of course a big thanks to my editor, Tamara Blain who rocked this book.

Thanks for reading! This story wouldn’t exist without readers like you to read it. It’s basically Shrodinger’s litRPG. It also wouldn’t exist without the alley oop assistance of several PCs, NPCs, and AIs. These ones here, specifically:
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the original Devs.
Everyone at Shadow Alley Press, who for some reason haven’t kicked me out of the guild yet.
James Hunter, one of the coolest authors out there willing to play this game in co-op. Everything awesome in this story came straight from him.
Tim McBain, the sounding board for every fit of genre fancy I have.
Nicole, the first Mario to my Luigi.
Emily, the Sideburns to my Junior.
And Joshua, the methodical, logical, clever, warlock to my let’s-pickpocket-everything-and-then-stab-it rogue.
