The HOPE Engine

When a game has the power to bring peace to the planet, you're damn right everyone plays. Every person on the planet can choose if they want to live their life in the physical world or the digital, and Quentin has been waiting for his chance to go all digital.

Once in the game, he chooses a powerful caster, but quickly finds out just how fragile he is. His advisor is a little girl, the village he builds is filled with raving lunatics, and the only edible food for miles around is poisonous to humans. But hey, his friends seem nice.

High level players are fleeing from their towns, beaten by a great force in the East. Will Quentin rise to the challenge and fight these evil forces? Will he pledge his allegiance to them instead? Will he find a meal that doesn't make him sick?

Find out in The HOPE Engine!

Life Reset

Such a fun story. It’s basically the story of a high level player being forced to start over as a goblin, one of the weakest races in the game. It’s an interesting look at a game from the monster’s point of view. All the game mechanics are really well thought out and interesting. Great story.

Arcane Emperor

A person from a world where magic is rare, creates a spell that takes him to a monster filled world where he can finally be the arcane mage he’s always wanted. Fun, combat oriented story with some interesting skills like sleep learning. Something I could have really used in college.
