Mage Tank

by Cornman8700 · Royal Road

Books 1 - 4 are on Kindle and Audible. Book 5 comes out near the end of July (date subject to shenanigans) and will stub 10 days or so beforehand. Currently posting chapters for book 6! After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial, and he is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well. Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG adventure set in an epic fantasy world that is rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered. There are strong horror themes, graphic violence, overindulgent use of naughty language, and poorly constructed jokes. Mage Tank features slow progression and intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences. RR cover art generated with MidJourney and Canva. Co-authored by Sir Raiu Koren. Posting schedule: ??? (Ideally it'll be Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but I've got a 0 year old child, a new puppy, and poor time management skills so here we are with very little structure these days. Alas!)
