Rise of Kers, Book 3: Empire in the Clouds

By Daniel Weber

Synopsis

Kers’ dungeon flew too high. Now he has the attention of a god.

Therrill, the ruling deity of the planet within whose atmosphere Kers resides, is on the warpath and hellbent on his destruction. Worse, his dungeon fairy, Selena, has been taken captive and now stands accused of treason. The Overslime is missing, and civil unrest threatens to boil over in Kers’s companion city, Liraffemyn.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Kers will have to spawn his craziest mobs, devise his most devious traps, and expand his influence toward the stars if he is to have any hope of striking back and saving his family.

But if Kers has learned one thing from his time as a dungeon core, it’s how to deal with a bit of altitude…

Punish the System Synopsis:

They’re called the Outsiders, and they’re here for a good time. Humanity’s time.

When the apocalypse kicks off hundreds of years too early, the System is still asleep, and Earth quickly becomes a chaotic mess of pop-up dungeons and roaming monsters. With the alien invaders treating the planet’s destruction as a resource-gathering fire sale, things are looking bleak.
