Into The Game: Dungeon Crawl Quest
by C. A. A. Allen
Live real. Play real. Just try not to die for real.
Riff Jenkins is having a bad day. He's behind on his college tuition and is getting kicked out of his dorm. His girlfriend just broke up with him for playing computer games too much. And if that isn't bad enough, Riff hasn't been able to beat the goblin boss in Dungeon Crawl Quest despite months of trying. His brother Mack says it's a glitch-that DCQ is unbeatable-but Riff knows there's a way.
When a mysterious package arrives from the recently deceased DCQ developer, Riff finally gets his reward for being one of the game's top players: a special Grimoire and an invitation to one of LA's premiere gaming dens.
But the Grimoire is much more than it appears. When Riff syncs it to a computer at the den, he's virtually transported into the game. And his bad day just got worse, because the company that owns DCQ will be shutting down the servers at midnight if Riff and his band of misfit players can't beat the goblin boss and save the game.
Oh yeah, and if the servers go down while they're in the game, they all die for real.
“The book contains a number of stat panels, including shop inventories, character sheets, and one creative aspect of a LitRPG story I hadn’t seen before: Rumor boards. The art throughout the book is really good too.” T. Harned – MMOHuts
“The main character gets sucked into a game and must do the most in order to get out alive. There is fun banter between the main character and the zany party of adventurers, with my favorites being the mack-like thief, the kick-butt heroine, and the drunk-old ninja. I appreciated the use of the word Gigglegibber (See EverQuest 2) and references to competitive eSports Team Kaliber and Atari E.T. cartridges. This book is a fun ride from front to back. If you like DnD, Choose Your Own Adventure, or dungeon crawl gaming you will like this." J. Palmer – Fantastic Science Fantasy Adventures
“The real world section establishes the main character’s personality, the reason why he is sent to the game, and sense of urgency to beat the game boss. By the 12% mark, the MC is in the game. Action, Trapped in Game, Die in Game Die in Real Life. R. Mejia – LitRPG Podcast
