Description: [edit] [history]

***COMPLETE! One or two days left to read in its entirety on RR! Moving to Kindle!!***

Nash Evers has never played a video game in his life. He's a businessman first, a politician second. Everything else gets left in the dust.

And death doesn't change a thing.

These days, most people have their minds uploaded to HereAfter when they die, and keep on living into eternity. For Nash this just means infinite opportunities to grow his wealth and power. A perfect death.

That is, until he gets drawn into a game he can't escape, with rules he doesn't understand, and stakes he never imagined.

Dragons Rising is the name of the game, and the humble HereAfter citizens fill the role of NPCs in the wealthy gamers' VRMMO experience. The realest game ever made.

The experience points are real, the magic is real, and death—for the NPCs—... is real .

Nash teams up with his hacker son to try to stay alive and bring down the corrupt organization that started all this. But it's going to take more than a few potions and some grinding to teach this old dog new tricks. Nash has conquered men, corporations, even entire nations—but he's never faced anything like Dragons Rising .

If you are enjoying the story, please comment, rate, and/or review! I'd love to know what you're thinking and feeling about the story as it goes!

Note: I'm planning to release this on Amazon when it's finished, but I'll keep uploading the continuing stories (this is just part one of a planned long series) as I go. I love feedback and would love to hear your thoughts—good and bad :)

Update (11/1/18): Planning to release this to Amazon kindle in the next day or two, after which I'll have to take most of it down from RR! If you want to be able to finish it here, hurry up!

That said, the kindle version will have some copious changes that will hopefully make it an even better story. The sequel will be posted on RR as I write it, just like I did with this book.
