Being a hero has its perks, but living for the fight means one must be ready to die for it, in the ninth book of this action-packed LitRPG fantasy series.

Victor Sandoval—now hailed as the legendary Lord Victor—has leveled up his rank and skills like no other Sojourner in memory. He now has thriving lands, ever-increasing power, and a new love, the warrior woman Valla. That is, until she decides she needs a bit of space—away from Victor’s, shall we say, expansive shadow—to discover herself. But when you may live for millenia, you don’t want to rush into a romantic commitment anyway, right?

Wrong. Heartbroken, Victor focuses on learning the ins and outs of the spirit realm from his tutor, the great Ranish Dar, while simultaneously fine-tuning his cultivator talents and continuing combat training. And his trusty axe, Lifedrinker, has undergone a major growth spurt, making it even more lethal—if that’s possible.

And Victor’s going to need a big weapon where he’s Rhun, where everyone is giant and dueling to the death is a way of life. He’s been summoned to take over the role of champion for Ranish’s granddaughter, Queen Kynna Dar. Luckily, he’ll soon discover the best cure for a broken heart is sharing your pain with others . . . again . . . and again . . . and again.

The ninth volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series―with more than a million views on Royal Road―now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tropes rags to riches, leveling up, fight to the death, and politics is war.
