NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. I plan to release it on Kindle Unlimited in July 2022 with significant edits, so please finish it here before the end of June! I will write a short story as a stub, with a link to the final book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give it five stars!
Book One:
In the VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world-wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago in game. The players are having fun, but everyone agrees it's about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.
The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in...ever. Aspen, a retired war hero, has earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They're tired of fighting, bigotry, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully far away from the city. As soon as he figures out this farming thing, he's never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for him, his country and his Goddess aren't quite done with him yet.
Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She's just a kid, and her focus should be on school and hanging out with her friends. Emphasis on should. She's pretty good at school, and doesn't actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she's offered a very special quest and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She's never been that much of a rule follower anyway....
(Author's Note: New chapters of Legendary Farmer will be released at least three times a week. I keep a minimum of ten more chapters written than I've published, so this should be very reliable, even if I get sick or am on vacation. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing!)
(P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers. Don't take it too seriously!)
Synopsis for Book Two: Sowing (Starts after Chapter Fifty - well, actually One hundred, but the cover will show up after 50.)
Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know.
In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins.
Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom.
Together, they'll all find out that what you sow is exactly what you reap.
Book Three: Reaping (starts after Khor's arc):
Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
