출판사 설명
An Epic Fantasy LitRPG perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights With Monsters.
Conquer the artificial world. Level Up. Save humanity.
When an ancient alien artifact chooses research cadet Nick to explore the world stored within it—a place full of forgotten empires, heroes with strange powers, and monstrous creatures that he is automatically transported to when he sleeps—he finds he has no choice but to grow stronger within the realm of Yensere to uncover its mysteries.
But Yensere isn’t all fun exploration. In this land guided by statistics and levels, Nick is seen as a demonic threat by its diseased inhabitants and always killed on-sight. When he dies in Yensere, he awakens in his bed upon the research station, his body in a state of panic; when he sleeps again, Yensere drags him back for another life...and another death.
Nick can only keep this up for so long before he dies for real. But there’s a good chance Yensere holds the key to saving humanity from a terrible fate, and so he ventures on, getting stronger and stronger with each new enemy defeated. And there are a LOT of enemies to defeat…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dalglish (the Vagrant Gods trilogy) makes his first foray into the litRPG genre with this skillful blend of science fiction and fantasy. The plot incorporates mechanisms found in role-playing games—including leveling up, health points, magical objects, and character classifications—into the worldbuilding. After Nick Wright activates an alien Artifact found on a ruined planet, he's transported into a fantasy world that mirrors the planet's deserted landscape, albeit now full of life. Questing through the simulated world of Yensere, he learns its history and is drawn into the growing rebellion against its omnipotent Godking, Vaan. But every time he dies in the simulation, he reawakens in his bed. When more of Yensere is suddenly replicated back in Nick's reality, he further devotes himself to cracking the world's riddles, even as the strain of repeatedly dying takes its toll on him. Dalglish embeds naive gamer Nick in a simulation that's out to destroy him while still making the gameplay feel believably fun for Nick and his fellow players. Dedicated RPG fans will be tickled, but even readers without a gaming background will find plenty to enjoy.
