The Review!

First of all, I couldn’t ask for a better review!

Here’s a snippet:

“Originally a hobby project on the Royal Road, author Apollos Throne has crafted this online story into a full fledged novel. If you read there, do yourself a favor and read it again on Amazon. Things have changed….a good action filled combat story that I read in a single sitting, even though I’d already read the royal road version twice.” Ramon Mejia, of LitRPGPodcast, and author of Adventures on Terra.

Synopsis:

Lucius is an average teenager dreaming of a career as a professional gamer. He is one of the lucky few selected to participate in Codename: Freedom, a new game that promises to push Virtual Reality to the ultimate level.

Unbeknownst to him, the Game Developers were commissioned to design Freedom for the sole purpose of creating super soldiers in preparation for the coming war.

With the pain dampeners turned off and an army of monsters waiting for him, will Lucius find a reason to push his body to the limit, or quit, giving up on his dream forever?
That’s it.
Hope you enjoy!

Currently on Hold.

This is a new, currently non-LitRPG zombie apocalypse novel I’m in the rough draft stage on.

Synopsis:

Caius has a bright future with an athletics scholarship and the girl of his dreams. After the best night of his life with the school idol Jennifer, Caius returns home to sleep off a hangover. He awakens to a scream from his sister’s room. When he forces himself to get up and check on her, any chance of sleeping in is pummelled, bloodied, and thrown out the window. Join Caius as he is forced to suspend disbelief and rush around town trying to save all that he holds dear.

If you were to lose everything, what would be left to live for?

What are people saying?

“Nowadays, when we think zombies, we think The Walking Dead. And so we are divided in those that like it (how?) and those that don’t. Either way, it is clear as day that the setting has lost its shine. The dog has been beaten to death.

But sometimes we get surprises. Long ago, films like Zombieland made me think that zombie stories could be different from The Walking Dead or Resident Evil. There are other aspects to explore in this setting. Sadly, very few did.

I’ve read this fiction up until chapter 6, but I really believe this may be one of the anomalies which prove that the genre can still be fun. We have tragedy, we have real characters, good dialogues and rational decisions. We also have a badass cover and title. If it really ends up being a story about someone who chooses to be alone on a zombie apocalypse, then I will be right and you should all be reading, because this is going to be new AND fun.

Read it, even if you are not a zombie lover.”

LitRPG?

I may go back and LitRPG it up, but the plot has been in my head for over ten years and I just don’t know if it will work or not. I will only go the LitRPG route if it will improve the plot. I believe the LitRPG aspects need to have real barring and direct the story, or at least make a difference. If not I won’t go there.

Synopsis:

War is coming.

The government must accelerate their super soldier program. They have pushed beyond what was thought possible and developed a new Virtual Reality system; the perfect tool to weed out and train recruits.

Against all odds, Lucius, a semipro gamer, is selected to participate in Codename: Freedom, a VRMMO that promises to blur the lines between game and reality.

With the world watching live, Lucius is faced with the opportunity to gain a following and impressing sponsors. His dream of going pro and proving his father wrong is within his grasp.

Unlike normal games that start easy as you learn to play, Codename: Freedom doesn’t give that luxury. The government has no time to waste. After years of hard work to rise in rank, this new game will challenge all that Lucius has learned to the point of breaking and beyond. Will he quit, go mad, or become something altogether different? Something better?

Warning: There are some mature themes that deal with pain, death, and violence.
