Summary

When virtual reality becomes real enough that people feel as if they're being transported to another world, Valia Online arrives.

A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all. Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord.

A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he'll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't.

As the game becomes too real and touches a part of him that he'd rather leave buried, he is faced with two questions: Who is he, really? And who should he become?

Challenge is book one of the Unbound Deathlord series, a LitRPG saga.

Another excellent performance by Jeff, as always brings the story and characters to life.

Not a bad story but the MC would argue with himself. He's an annoying, spoiled little bollox. I don't understand why he wasn't toned down a little, I nearly gave up because of his constant batching, grow a set of balls.

I'll give the next book ago and hopefully he's grown up a bit.

Good story but MC a whiny little b
