Book Description


Attorney by day, gamer by night. After a heart-crushing rejection, Allan Young blows off his responsibilities and escapes reality into the virtual world Conquest until his HUD starts glitching out. He wakes up the next morning to find that his neurological implant has fried yet again, and he begrudgingly decides to go to the office before he gets fired.


Allan Young is a highly skilled lawyer who has mastered his craft, honing his skills to perfection, and he’s gambled his fate in a single, crucial securities contract. But when he unexpectedly meets his client one fateful morning, his entire world crashes down around him. Suddenly, Allan is the target of a brutal assassination attempt, and he finds himself caught up in a dangerous, unknown reality. Allan grapples with the shocking realization that supernatural forces are at work when his attacker transforms into a terrifying creature straight out of a nightmare, and it quickly becomes clear that something far more sinister is at play. Allan survives the attack and inherently levels up in real life, unlocking hidden powers and abilities he never knew he possessed. He finds himself embroiled in a treacherous game, where supernatural forces vie for control, and the stakes are higher than ever.


After getting knocked unconscious during the attack, he later awakens in a primitive prison of barbed wire and fencing. Allan realizes he has become a pawn in a larger game, with forces beyond his comprehension manipulating his fate. He determines that he must be inside the game CONQUEST and has entered a new level. His only ally is a mysterious vagrant who claims to have seen visions and prophecies about him who serves as a guide, offering valuable insights and guidance as he levels up and masters his newfound abilities.


As Allan delves deeper into this apparent spinoff of the game, he struggles to unravel the web of intrigue surrounding him. But will the hidden powers and talents he’s discovered be enough to overcome the forces aligned against him, or will he fall prey to the nightmarish creatures that now stalk his every move? He must use his wits, strategy, and cunning to stay ahead of the competition and survive in this high-stakes world.


Allan's journey of self-discovery and survival is a thrilling adventure, filled with epic battles, leveling up, and supernatural forces beyond comprehension. He must master his skills and embrace his destiny to emerge victorious in this ultimate game of life and death.



Book Extract


Devastation spread around him for miles. Dead NPC and avatar bodies were lying everywhere - some with their armor on, others with their bodies bare to the sky. The vicious carnage was so gruesome and realistic that he again had to remind himself that the scenes he was experiencing weren’t real.


He wondered what sort of battle had taken place that had left this place charred and smoking. Blackened skulls lay against the wall, dotting the streets as though they were decorations. Whoever had done this had done so to leave a message. Everything looked bleak. The once beautiful city now lay desolate and its people burned alive. He could still hear the echoes of their screams.


Using the live data from his HUD, he checked the stats of the inventories available but it appeared that most of the good stuff had already been picked clean. Step by narrow step his feet took him, not worrying about what danger lay ahead. A glint of metal then caught his eye.


Could it be?


He trudged over to the fallen player's avatar, and a prompt appeared.


Opportunity Alert


Do you wish to loot this fallen player's inventory?


***Disclaimer: only unlocked items are available to loot (item locking is a service only available to Premium Members)***


Loot Body | Leave Body


He eagerly selected 'Loot Body', and let out a cry of victory when he saw the green icon of a sword.


Yes! Finally I can ditch this pitiful spear!


New Weapon Acquired: Claymore Sword


Length: 140 cm. The wielder of this sword is granted the ability to hew down opponents with dexterity and ease. Chances for Instant Kill are 70%. Greater chances for instant kill increase with higher levels. Requirements: Level > 7, Strength > 9, Agility > 4, Intelligence > 4


He hefted the sword into his hands, and was surprised by its weight. It would definitely take some getting used to. He then stored the spear in his inventory, unsure if he would need it again at a later point in the game.



Author Bio


Most of his friends from High School still don't even know his first name. Known only as either "Mulder" or "Agent", there was an unforgettable moment when a girl he was dating expressed her confusion when a friend approached him and called him "Richard". The ongoing joke was "Hey Mulder, where's Scully?" Ironically he later married a redhead...


R.M. Mulder began querying agents for his Conquest Saga back in January 2016. He then received some inspirational feedback from one of the editors involved in a query contest that had stated in part, "Honestly? Everything about this screams 'Blockbuster self-pub!!' Writing is sharp and commercial. Author has a plan. Go be Hugh Howey. I don't think querying is gonna go your way, and you've got big vision." Mulder ran with this inspiration, and has since become an Amazon Bestselling Author.


His series also won 1st Place as Favorite Dystopian during Virtual FantasyCon 2016.


Mulder invests his time and talents in his GameLit Saga "Conquest".
