An Outcast in Another World: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure (Book 2 - Shared Insanity)

By KamikazePotato

A chain, a portal, and darkness. That was all it took for Rob's life to go from the everyday mundanities of college to being being forced to survive in a hostile fantasy world full of horribly mutated creatures. After discovering civilization and making (very tentative) allies, Rob carved out a sliver of normalcy in a society that hates him, barely managing to make it through his first month in Elatra. Unfortunately, his newfound home did not, leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces and make for greener pastures. Having won the respect of the locals via a heroic almost-sacrifice, Rob travels with them, recognizing the importance of having people around to watch your back. After all, if he's learned one thing since arriving to this strange new world inhabited by abominations and ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, it's that death is lurking around every corner. His assumption is prove right yet again when a botched meeting with the Elven ruler's soldiers leads to thousands of people, Rob included, fleeing to the northern wastelands in a mass exodus. Ambushes from monsters and men are the least of his worries - dealing with the system's assaults on his mind and the occasional eldritch abomination takes up most of his time. As Rob slowly loses himself, fighting to stay as a person his loved ones back on Earth would recognize, he slowly realizes that surviving just for the sake of seeing the next day isn't going to be enough to keep him sane. He and his friends will be faced with struggles both external and internal on their journey north, and the only people they can trust are themselves. By all rights, they'll perish. They're the underdogs, and history isn't kind to those. Every inspiring legend of success is built on the graves of a thousand defeats. Society, the system, and the very world itself are against them - in the face of odds like that, what could they possibly do? Simple: survive.
