A LitRPG Adventure (Pyresouls Apocalypse, Book 1)

When Pyresouls released, it was a brutal new virtual reality game with a twist: The first to beat the game would win billions of dollars.

But after the Burgon Beast couldn’t be defeated, Pyresouls turned very real and unleashed an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. For many years since, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth where only ancient, guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from Pyresouls.

While defending his bunker with some of the last refugees of humanity, yet another friend loses his life to secure one final hope: an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time.

In a cruel twist of fate, Jacob becomes humanity’s best chance for survival. He takes the plunge into the past of the terrifying, fractured realm of Pyresouls, where every player is out for blood and the monsters are more vicious than anything on Post-Collapse Earth. Armed with knowledge of game mechanics, secret loot, and enemy weaknesses, along with well-honed swordsmanship from years of battle, Jacob has every possible advantage against the competition. But the choices he makes have long-reaching ripple effects on the timeline.

Can Jacob beat the clock while grinding out Levels and manage to avert the apocalypse, or will his every action darken the timeline even further?

This post-apocalyptic gamelit series includes battle, levelling, and gear-enhancing mechanics inspired by the Dark Souls games.

This was a fun ride

I don’t usually love time travel related stories but this one was really fun. I think k I will even listen to it a second time. If you are on the fence about listening, take the chance and give it a go; you’ll enjoy it.

Great

Different twist on rpglit. great read can't wait for the next adventure from this author

Worth it

Mechanics follow the dark souls theme, but bringing them to life with their own personality and twists.
The story was definetly engaging. Worth the read!

Best Souls Iike Adaptation

Great job to the team. This was an ambitious project done well. It made me reinstall Elden Rings.

Supernatural

The middle management angle was never my favorite villain arc. Also the direct intervention of the villain in game was unbalanced. Darksouls is a great game however there is no impetus for the villain arc in this story. Reminds me of leviathans from supernatural but they had a reason being that they were imprisoned and isolated.
