[Hero Online 01] • Quest for Vengeance

**It's all fun and games til somebody hacks the game, locks you in, camps your spawn-point, and makes you their slave.**

Gideon's a sad man. Middle-aged, over-educated and under-achieving, he's just lost his job and he's looking for some way to cope with the looming midlife crisis. When he sees his chance to connect with his kid-sister in the bleeding edge VRMMORPG *Hero Online,* he jumps at it. But all's not well in this game, as he very quickly finds out.

Before long he's fallen prey to a group of malicious players who aren't above PKs and even enslaving other players to get what they want. And that's just the beginning. Before they've finished with him, he's a broken man, ready to be done with *Hero Online* forever. There's just one problem with that: he's stuck inside. Forced to face a possible eternity in VR, he gears up and gets ready to do the only thing he can do:

Get even.

Hero Online Book I: Quest for Vengeance is my LitRPG debut. It's one-part homage to the classic fantasy-world LitRPG stories I've come to love, and one-part homage to any and all Comte-de-Monte-Cristo-type revenge narratives. Immerse yourself in the virtual world with Gideon to find yourself in a realm of elves and orcs, honor and deceit, heroes and villains, and, most importantly, revenge.
