New Era Online

Shemer Kuznits

After being betrayed and cursed by an extremely rare spell, Oren Berman — a powerful and influential player in the VRMMO New Era Online — finds himself transformed into a 1st level Goblin monster. Stripped of his human character and former power, he must survive as low-level fodder while using his encyclopedic knowledge of the game world to build a goblin tribe from scratch. What begins as desperate survival evolves into kingdom-building, monster evolution, and large-scale warfare as Oren carves out a place for his people against hostile players, rival monster clans, and eventually a revolt of the game's own VIs — all while leveling, evolving, and expanding his settlement.

Progression: Explicit LitRPG progression central to every volume. Oren and all entities have numeric Levels (1 to 60+), Stats, Skills and monster evolution tiers — Goblin → Hobgoblin → Orc variants — with tier gates tied to level and achievements. The VRMMO New Era Online quantifies power via system windows; settlement progression is equally explicit: the goblin village upgrades through building levels, resource tiers, crafting ranks and clan reputation. Boss evolution, class-like monster roles, and settlement tech trees provide parallel advancement axes. Each book foregrounds grinding, stat allocation, skill unlocks and territorial expansion as the engine of plot and power scaling.
