Mayhem

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Aaron Oster

Narrated by: Steve Campbell

Trapped in a new world. Targeted by everyone. He can either run, or embrace the mayhem!

Ben finds himself stuck in the beta of Mayhem, forced to be an evil elf character by the system AI. Their race is universally hated due to their lust for destruction, bloodshed, and world domination, so, he’s understandably a bit irritated.

His buddy Chip and his Rainbow Unicow Bessie, on the other hand, couldn’t be happier. Extreme violence is right up Chip’s alley and seeing as Bessie has gotten a taste for human flesh, she’s totally up for the bloodshed bit.

The problem with being universally hated, however, is that there’s no one who will take you in. And with only one life, Ben doesn’t much relish the thought of losing it. But he doesn't have the luxury of hiding out in the safety of a major city as an evil elf. Everyone is after him–angry barbarians, villagers with torches and pitchforks, Halflings hopped up on cornstarch, and way too many weird monsters that have no right to exist!

Don't miss the start of this hilarious, action-fest of a LitRPG adventure from Aaron Oster, bestselling author of We Hunt Monsters and End of the World.

A standard trope with better people.

This is your standard trapped in a game plot except the people are realistic-ish. honestly my only gripe is that the players treat NPC's like people at all. Companions I understand but there is a reason almost every game with unkillable NPC's have mods for that. I would expect much more savagery from people who have to kill programs to escape. But it works it's way into it. Looking forward to the next book.

Lives up to its name

Fantastic story. Definitely lives up to the title. Perfect balance of action and humor. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Fun. Different.

In the age of awful AI stuff, this hit the mark. Worth getting for the narration alone.

When do we ge more.

The best way to explain the feeling this story gives me, would be to say if you know games if you mix the game Gorn with Bethesda's Fallout games specifically if you have bloody mess active; because holy, just wow this was an adventure I can't wait to continue.

Dark and amazing

Only dislike is that it's over. Dark but still funny at times. Hope a book 2 won't be a long wait.
