《Malheur aux vaincus - Short stories》Une journée de routine en garnison au bout du monde connu
Advertisement
Les hommes valeureux constituent la meilleure tour de défense d'une cité, Alcée de Mytilène Une journée de routine en garnison au bout du monde connu Le soleil au ponant éclairait de ses derniers feux cette journée sanglante. Une nouvelle page de gloire pourrait être gravée sur notre aigle, si le lendemain elle était encore entre nos mains, ce dont nous doutions fort.
Les tribus du septentrion avaient déferlé sans répit sur l'oppidum dès le petit matin. Au mépris le plus total de la mort, des myriades de barbares peinturlurés de signes cabalistiques se jetèrent sous nos pieux, galvanisés par les chants de guerre. Pris au dépourvu, incapables de contenir une telle marée humaine, les hommes étaient tétanisés devant cet ennemi implacable. Devant leurs figures inhumaines et leur témérité folle, associées à leur nombre, même les plus intrépides doutaient. Toutefois, malgré le désespoir qui menaçait, leur discipline, fruit d'un entraînement continuel, leur permit de contenir vaille que vaille le premier assaut. Pour chaque soldat qui tombait, dix adversaires trépassaient. Le flot humain, s'il ne se tarissait qu'à peine au fil des heures, encourageait les défenseurs. Se ressaisissant après ce mince succès, le moral des troupes changea : les solides fortifications qui avaient permis de résister ne leur feraient pas défaut, si tant est qu'ils puissent continuer à tout faire pour les tenir.
C'est à cet instant que la deuxième vague s'élança, voyant l'échec de la première. En effet, ces féroces combattants respectaient une coutume tribale séculaire : seuls les plus jeunes guerriers, encore guère expérimentés, participaient aux premières passes d'armes, ce qui permettait de les écrémer. Ainsi, des combattants dans la force de l'âge, l'honneur de leur peuple, entrèrent dans la bataille alors que les cohortes engagées sur le rempart guerroyaient sans répit depuis l'aube. Soumis à une pression intolérable, le front commença à plier, certaines poches de barbares prenaient durablement pied sur les murs d'enceinte. Galvanisés par leur réussite, ils trépignaient, littéralement pris de transe pour atteindre les fantassins hagards qui commençaient à se débander.

Face à une défaite qui s’annonçait inévitable, nous prîmes la décision d’enflammer nos palissades avant qu’elles ne tombent aux mains de l’ennemi, les pertes subies étant tellement importantes que le dernier bastion du fort, seule construction de briques suffirait amplement pour les survivants, en espérant que ceux-ci ne périraient pas étouffés par la fumée d'enfer que produisaient nos défenses en feu. Nous avions tenu tout le jour, seule l’arrivée d’autres garnisons du dispositif défensif romain pouvait désormais nous sauver, ce que notre feu de joie devait en outre hâter, tel était le mince espoir auquel nous nous raccrochions. Sinon, nous aurions toujours la possibilité de rejoindre Pluton accompagnés du plus grand nombre possible d'ennemis, un bûcher funéraire aussi fastueux ne pouvant que le ravir.

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

Luminether Online: A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure
A year after the tragic death of his best friend, Carey Walsh copes with feelings of guilt and loneliness by trolling strangers online. His secret little addiction becomes a nightmarish odyssey when he trolls a billionaire inventor of a futuristic VR simulation housed on a faraway tropical island. The game, known as “Luminether Online,” is actually an experiment meant to rewire the brain’s empathy centers - an experiment that kills the bullies it attempts to fix. Suddenly trapped inside, Carey encounters an epic fantasy world full of vibrant magic spells, terrifying monsters, and ancient gods who left behind superpowered races of humans – one of which Carey must choose as his avatar. Armed with the most basic armor and sword, he must level up, stop a guild of necromancers hellbent on world domination, and do it all while playing as an orange-eyed "Feral" rogue with a furry tail and amazing stealth, agility and parkour skills. But there are other, more toxic, players who will do anything to win, even if it means committing real-life murder against their competitors. In order to win the game, Carey must recruit allies, explore the mythical world of Astros, and unlock the secrets of this baffling new reality - because the truth is not what it seems. Luminether Online is a standalone LitRPG novel, though it is set in the same world as a different series known as The Luminether Series, a non-LitRPG epic fantasy.
