By Lachlan Wells

A LitRPG that destroys the boundaries of the known world. 

 

Do you like to be wisped away into a new world of LitRPG wildness? Then read on...

 

Enter The Quell:

 

When the Reckoning came, the world was plunged into the fantasy realm of the Quell. Those who remember the old world would say that it's like those old video games they use to play only with the threat of death. Those in the Quell would say it has given them a life of freedom, while it has robbed some of everything they have. 

 

In the Quell, it's fight or die and Adriana Swann aimed to live. Ever since her uncle got kidnapped by cultists, she has set off on her own quest of freedom and answers. The Quell is vast and full of horrors, pushing one's mind to the brink of insanity. Adriana has never been too worried, though. Her uncle taught her everything she knew, and nothing was going to get between her and finding answers...

 

But how far is one girl willing to go to unlock the secrets of this world that everyone has known for so long?

 

What sacrifices have to be made to get what she wants and is she willing to make them?

 

This book is just the Prequel, a taste of what The Quell might bring. I have much more for you where this comes from!

About The Author, Lachlan Wells

Prelude: The Reckoning 

One afternoon, when the earth was still full and it still felt like home, a voice rang out across the horizon, carried by every corner of the wind. A deep, resonating sound that some thought was the voice of God and others knew it was not. Two words that changed the very foundation of existence: I’m bored. 

Like a rapture, a third of the population of the world vanished instantly. What remained of national governments ran for their warheads and firearms, only to find empty lockers and chambers. Advanced technology beyond the industrial had been swallowed by what people now call the Quell.  All knowledge of electronics became obsolete. The world dove into chaos, humans killing each other before nature could do it for them. 

For thirty years, people attempted to rebuild from that event and the voice they now call the Reckoning.  The collapsed wilderness of what remained was transformed into a landscape of monsters and chaotic magic that slowly grew and those who lived in the dangerous landscape known as the Quell learned quickly of their new lives.  While most people tried to live their lives in the make safe pockets of the Quell, known as Havens, the ones who ventured out discovered they were capable of astonishing feats, physically, mentally, and magically. While some could harness the capabilities of any weapon they touched, others could cast spells or take out monsters with their bare hands. Their lives were not dictated by daily monotonous tasks, but with danger, uncertainty, power and frailty. 

It was a game for the amusement of the Reckoning, and the remaining citizens of earth were its Players.
