The first book in the New York Times bestselling Cradle series!

Lindon is born Unsouled, the one person in his family unable to use the magical Paths of the sacred arts. He uses every trick and technique he can borrow or steal to improve his life, but it seems he will never be able to join the ranks of the truly powerful.

Until the heavens descend and show him the future.

When Lindon becomes the only one who sees the approaching doom, he must leave his homeland to save it... and to see how far he can go by walking his own Path.

Cradle is now complete! This 12-book series begins here with Unsouled and concludes with Waybound.

The Dungeon is a place of magic and mystery, a vast branching, underground labyrinth that has changed the world and the people who dare to enter its depths. Those who brave its challenges are rewarded with wealth, fame, and powerful classes that set them apart from the rest.
Ken was determined to follow the footsteps of his family and become one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known. He knows that the only way to do that is to get into one of the esteemed Dungeon colleges, where the most promising young adventurers gather.
Despite doing fantastic on the entrance exam, when his class is revealed, everyone turns their backs on him, all except for one.
The most powerful adventurer, Crimson, invites him to the one college he never thought he’d enter. Haylon, an all girls college.
Ken sets out to put together a party and master the skills he'll need to brave the Dungeon's endless dangers. But he soon discovers that the path ahead is far more perilous than he could have ever imagined.

Milton Frederick was arguably the best player of Crowned Lieges of Destiny in the entire world. As the strategy coordinator for one of the top guilds, he was beginning to actually make a living from it. That was, until he was abducted by aliens.

Instead of your stereotypical grey aliens with big black eyes who like to perform anal probes upon unsuspecting victims for unknown reasons, The Collective had a more altruistic purpose. Sure, kidnapping 100 humans from Earth, ripping them away from their lives and families, and erasing their memories doesn’t sound great – but the way they saw it, the benefits would far outweigh these side-effects. Seriously, who wouldn’t want their consciousness trapped in a Station Core, subjected to the whims of a collection of alien races, and then ordered to defend against other hostile aliens for all eternity? They’d be immortal – so…bonus!

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), the Station Core now known as Milton never arrived at his destination. Severely damaged and confused about what happened to him, he woke up to find himself trapped inside a massive chicken egg on a strange, primitive world filled with curious – and deadly – creatures.

Now, in order to survive the harsh environment, Milton has to rely on a snarky, foul-mouthed AI guide to show him what it means to be a Station Core. With her help, he might just live long enough to figure out a way to get off the planet – if only he wasn’t so afraid of squirrels…

Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as level progression and experience, optional tables, no harems, and a heavy Dungeon Core emphasis.

Warning: Contains foul language that might not be suitable for young readers.

Note: The optional stat tables tend to skew the percentages toward the back of the book. The locations can be a tad deceptive; while this book is 96,000 words, stat tables comprise less than 5% of that total word count.

Updated 4/26/19: New cover, additional editing, and less foul language

Half-dwarf, VR MMORPG, Sci-Fi Fantasy, smithing, crafting, party-focused, LitRPG Complete series!

Austin just wanted to build.

Build a house, craft some blades, maybe pound out some armor and go on an adventure.

He wanted to escape. He had made it to the top. As CEO of an asteroid mining company, Austin has accomplished everything he ever wanted in business. Fame and fortune were his, but he missed working with his hands, adventuring to lands unknown. Doing new things, making friends based on mutual interests instead of financial ones.

Emerilia answered him, beckoned to him, a retreat from the world. A fantasy game where you could do anything you could on Earth, and so much more.

Austin the CEO is Reborn as Dave the half-dwarf. Just another player. Little to his name than the clothes on his back and determination in his heart. He’s going to need it. Because Earth, Emerilia and history are not as he knows it.

Here, the game is real and Earth, just a simulation away. He’s going to need allies, player and non-player alike. Even if its true, how can you convince people they’re slaves to the game they play?

Any sufficiently advanced virtual reality makes it indistinguishable from reality.

Dave will need to level up, increase his skills and learn Emerilia’s true past.
