Synopsis

Book One: Rostislav Grokhotov, an ordinary clerk working for a privately-owned company, just wanted to earn some extra money in the game. He had no specific plans for his new character. Little did he know that his new nickname Rosgard would become the game's next greatest legend. Whose side does one take without becoming a pawn in anyone's game?

Book Two: Rostislav Grokhotov does not want to become anyone's pawn. Therefore, his unexpected acquisition makes him ponder his own goals. Having become the sole owner of a unique spell coveted by top-ranking clans, he no longer wants to go with the flow. That way would only lead to ruin and obscurity. He'd need to go all in—and to have a good plan. With several more contingency plans for good measure.

Book Three: Nothing is ever given freely. Easy money for a seemingly minor quest in a game? Well, you're obviously being played for a mark. Suddenly stumbled upon a unique spell coveted by the entire world of Waldyra? Expect trouble for certain, for there's a horrendous creature hunting you now, intending to take your life eventually—it's but a question of time. That's the only way of becoming a legend of Waldyra. You cannot run from your problems forever—at some point, you'll still have to face them, so face them on your own terms.

About Dem Mikhailov

Dem Mikhailov was born on November 23, 1979, in the city of Zarafshan (the Republic of Uzbekistan). His natural aptitude for science and technology decided his initial career choice, prompting him to enter the local industrial college. Upon graduation, he worked in the mining industry specializing in separation and beneficiation of metals. Still, he didn't find much joy in the admittedly boring job. Fed up with the daily grind, Dem finally decided to radically change his lifestyle and moved to Turkey, where he spent the next twelve years working in the leisure industry, rising through the ranks from a regular entertainer to an animation team manager. Although leisure-time animation is admittedly a vocation for the young, it allowed Dem to mix with all kinds of people and later use his knowledge of human types and characters in his books.

In 2012, Dem Mikhailov returned to his home town, which marked the beginning of his stellar writing career. He's rightly considered one of the founding fathers of LitRPG, and his legendary saga The Sleepless Ones (The World of Waldyra) became one of the cult LitRPG series serving as an inspiration for such bestselling LitRPG authors as Vasily Mahanenko, Dan Sugralinov, and Michael Atamanov.

Goodreads review by Johnny on July 07, 2021

Book seven This is another series where I get ARC's to check the translation from Russian to English. I like this series now that it's professionally translated. Can be a bit slow at times due to the many different threads the author has woven throughout this story. 8/10......more

Goodreads review by Ajit on July 08, 2021

Better This still better than volume 6 but still way away from the benchmark set by the 5 volume. Lake Naikal seems to make the author maudlin.......more
