      An endlessly inventive and entertaining love letter to underdogs who spent countless hours with a game controller in hand, this story unfolds a cycle where a Demon King rises and conquers, followed by the rebirth of a Hero to defeat him. For thousands of years, civilizations have crumbled under the Demon King's hordes, with humanity relying on the belief that a legendary Hero will always emerge to save them. However, only 23 years have passed since the last rise of the Demon King, who has already conquered more than half the world. If humanity waits for the Hero's return, there may be nothing left to save. Enter Yui Shaw, who embarks on an ambitious 10-step plan. She aims to obtain the Hero's legendary sword, earn obscure classes, gain levels, and enhance her skills. Yui will navigate meticulously-crafted dungeons seemingly designed for a specific Hero and, if luck is on her side, she might even encounter a fairy. This LitRPG fantasy adventure is a must-read for fans of beloved RPG stories, offering a fresh take on the genre while celebrating the spirit of adventure and determination.

      It doesn't take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps. Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He's fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods -- and left them defeated in his wake. But he's a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he's used to. He's already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it's damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he's in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really

      Forging Divinity is an epic fantasy with a strong emphasis on intelligent characters, political schemes, and well-developed magic systems. If you enjoy reading about characters that try to use their abilities cleverly to solve problems, you'll probably enjoy the book. If you prefer stories where magic remains more mystical and vague, it probably wouldn't be to your tastes.Here's a quick blurb:Some say that in the city of Orlyn, godhood is on sale to the highest bidder. Thousands flock to the city each year, hoping for a chance at immortality. Lydia Hastings is a knowledge sorcerer, capable of extracting information from anything she touches. When she travels to Orlyn to validate the claims of the local faith, she discovers a conspiracy that could lead to a war between the world's three greatest powers. At the focal point is a prisoner who bears a striking resemblance to the long-missing leader of the pantheon she worships. Rescuing the prisoner would require risking her carefully cultivated cover - but his execution could mean the end of everything Lydia holds dear.
