Legends of the Frozen Game [LitRPG] [NPC Uprising][Epic Gear Crafting]
In the far future, humanity travels the stars through space folding. Using that same technology, they created Realmforge, a moon-sized world in a private pocket dimension. For a thousand years it ran flawlessly. Lab-grown races built their own civilizations and dynasties, while players lived out their fantasies. Death wasn’t just another mechanic for the players.
The day Demir and Aris first stepped into Realmforge, everything changed. The HUD went dark. The portals sealed. Leveling froze. Death became permanent.
Four years later, the game has become a cage. Childhood friends Demir and Aris are trapped on opposite sides of a broken world. Aris struggles on a remote island, apprenticed to a healer. Demir fights to hold together a ragged survivor camp deep within the Iron Confederacy.
This is a dual POV progression story. Demir’s path is survival, crafting, and building a refuge. Aris’s path is academy politics, healing, and uncovering the secrets of a world that doesn’t want him to grow. Both follow a hidden system of titles, narrative weight, and echoes. There are no stat screens allocate points choose skills, no easy grind, and no second chances.
Expect meaningful crafting with a dwarf mentor. Expect academy trails, corruption, and espionage. Expect a snarky talking fox with far too many opinions. The tone is hopeful yet gritty, with light humor woven into real stakes.
If you want crafting progression, academy intrigue, and survival LitRPG where choices —not menus— shape power, welcome to world of Aethyros.
P.S. I’ve been experimenting with audiobooks. It takes a while, so I can’t keep up with my writing speed, but I’ve turned the first 20 chapters into an audiobook.
No excuses now. You can listen while gaming, walking, commuting to work or school, and then come back to read the rest. :D
