The Bad Guys

Eric Ugland

The second series in Eric Ugland's iNcarn8 full-immersion game world of Vuldranni. Ben, a petty thief, gets a new name, a new face, and a new body as Clyde Hatchett in the medieval fantasy city of Glaton. Across eleven volumes of guild quests, heists, dungeon crawls, pirate voyages, necromantic possession, and imperial politics, Clyde rebuilds the Biscuit's Union guild, learns magic, bends the game rules to his will, and fights for the Empire - full of loot, magic, and intrigue.

Progression: Explicit LitRPG/GameLit advancement inside the full-immersion game world iNcarn8/Vuldranni: quest offers with XP rewards (Reward for success: survival of the guild, unknown, XP), guild ranks and membership thresholds (reform the guild with eight members in good standing in one week), respawn through repeated deaths (any of the numerous deaths he has gone through), learned magic (taught spell-use by Careena), bending game rules to his will, and loot/level-driven growth. Goodreads shelves the series as a LitRPG/Gamelit adventure.
