Rewind: A Grimdark LitRPG Series (Pyresouls Apocalypse, Book 1) James Callum (best large ereader .TXT) 📖

In fact, I’ve loved reading for as long as I could remember. From the very first fantasy book I read, Wizard of Earthsea, I was hooked.

For just as long, I’ve also been an avid gamer and DND player (as well as other tabletop RPGs). Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Illusion of Gaia, and on through the years as stories and graphics became better and better.

You’ll be able to find hints of inspiration from all sorts of RPGs and video games in my works. From the Final Fantasy series to Warcraft, Age of Empires to Anno, and games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Because who doesn’t love a little cosmic horror thrown in for fun?

These games (and countless others) have inspired me ever since I was a kid, and they continue to serve as my muse now that I’m much older.

Writing has always been my greatest aspiration, and with your help, I hope to make it a full-time job. At the time of this writing, I still work a day job like most people. It is only thanks to Patreon that I was able to dedicate some of my spare time to writing.

So, if you’d like to provide direct support and help me achieve my goal of writing full-time (so I can write even more stories for you awesome people!) you can hop on over to my Patreon page where you’ll find tons of content.

Beastborne Preview

Before you go, I have a little something extra for you. I also am writing (concurrently) another LitRPG called Beastborne Chronicles.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to read Beastborne: Mark of the Founder, I’ve taken the liberty of including the first few chapters so you can get a feel for it. Beastborne Chronicles is currently closing in on the end of the second book over on Patreon.

Chapters are released weekly on a steady and consistent basis. I haven’t missed a single update day since my Patreon was established. Here’s a brief overview:

A new Founder Marked with otherworldly power. An epic quest to build a Sanctum settlement. A fabled class that wields monstrous magics.

The Founders were the first Marked, and they used those powers to build kingdoms, subjugate the land, and enrich themselves. And they will not suffer another to join their ranks.

Lost in a world with Levels, stats, and monsters, Hal fights to survive in an unforgiving land and escape execution from its rulers.

Ingenuity and courage won’t be enough. With Marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm.

He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within. To fight monsters, one has to risk becoming a monster. If he can survive long enough to Level Up.

Freedom and safety cannot be achieved alone. Only by forging bonds with fellow adventurers and monsters alike does Hal and his would-be-kingdom have any chance of surviving the hazardous realm.

Experience the start of a new isekai litRPG adventure series, full of dungeon crawling spell-slinging action, crafting, party combat, deep magic systems, Lovecraftian horrors, and a horde of combat classes alongside an intriguing cast of characters. Yes, one of those things is not like the other.

Perfect for readers of progression fantasy, Gamelit, epic fantasy, and fans of Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Wheel of Time, and Dungeons and Dragons.

No harems and no profanity. Filters don’t count, right?

Start your epic LitRPG journey today and sink your teeth into over 1,000 pages of the first book of Beastborne!

Prologue

Midarian stepped through the door and kicked it shut behind him.

He was prepared for the shift before it happened. Aldim had stats. Actually, every Worldshard had stats but most of them were hidden and far from the consciousness of the denizens.

Aldim and its ilk were different. Though his home had been Earth, the nature of
