Shattered Light: An Isekai LitRPG

When he's sent at the king's command to the demon-razed frontier, Rowan is no longer just a spare hero—and it'll take all that he knows and more to survive. What does it take to become a true hero? Rowan and his companions learned that all too quickly when they were thrown into a system-controlled world and proclaimed saviors of the realm. But then their choice of mighty weaponry was literally decided by the cards, and Rowan ended up with a simple, stupid spear to fight off an invading demon army. Hooray? However, with a bit of training, some hard work, and heaps of luck, Rowan's shown himself to be no basic fighter, earning new skills, formidable cards, and even the heart of a fair combat alchemist. And now he has the chance to prove himself further by taking charge of a remote village right on the war's frontlines. To survive the coming siege, he'll need to transform a motley collection of mercenaries, brigands, mages, and regular folk into battle-ready soldiers as well as harness his own mystical powers. Because someone wants Rowan out of the fight—permanently. And they may be even more deadly and determined than the hellish monsters already knocking on his door . . . The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series―with more than 750,000 views on Royal Road―now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook! Tropes include: underdog hero, loveable loser, and unstoppable foe.
