They Fight Three Giants (Caverns and Creatures Short story)

Nothing ruins a nice morning of binge drinking quite like the threat of being cornholed by stone giants.

 

My Opinion: 39 pages, $2.99, Not available on Kindle Unlimited

Dave, Cooper, and Tim are tricked through a magical portal and kidnapped by a giant who wants them to help his sons become men. Hilarious misunderstandings, innuendo, and bathroom humor follow.

Overall, a funny new short story in the Caverns and Creatures collection. However, for the page count, it’s just not worth the price of almost $3. I’d recommend waiting until the author includes the story in his next Caverns and Creatures short story collection.

Score: 7 out of 10.

While attending college, a computer science instructor named Professor Stone introduced Rex to a hidden pocket deep in the internet that contained a tantalizing opening sequence to a new game called Shadows Online.

Rex is drawn into the simulation as the fantasy world beckons to him. A step, a surge of power, and Rex awakens as Thulen playing for his life in the game of Shadows Online.

Reternity Online: Rescue Quest: A LitRPG Epic

Logan hated full-immersion virtual reality MMORPGs like Reternity Online. He’d watched his younger brother Jason and countless friends throw away their lives because of their addiction to playing RO. He vowed he would never put on a NeuraLink headset and waste his life like they had.

Then he received an anonymous email from kidnappers demanding a real world ransom payment of $150,000 USD to release his sister Emily, who they held in an undisclosed location. To keep her compliant, the kidnappers used a NeuraLink headset to log her permanently into RO. In-game, Emily’s character was locked away where no one would ever find her.

They called it mind-locked. Emily wasn’t the first person to fall prey to mind-lockers and she wouldn’t be the last.

If Logan didn’t pay up, the kidnappers would sell her real body on the black market for organ harvesting.

If he had any idea where Emily was, Logan could do something to save her. But he didn’t. Nobody did. And he didn’t have $150,000 to pay off the kidnappers.

He only had one choice. Go inside Reternity Online himself, level up, and try to find his sister in-game to gather clues to her whereabouts before they murdered her in the real world.
