Goblin Peon No. 49: A LitRPG Adventure

By Eddie Maddox

"This was the goblin protagonist I didn't know I needed. Hilarious, dark, and surprisingly emotional. Can't wait for book 2 " - Amazon reviewer

Goblin Peon No. 49 is a level-one nobody. A disposable NPC at the very bottom of the dungeon food chain.

Then his script glitches. He gets a character class, attributes, a user interface-and even a name: "Rook."

Stalked by the god-like System and guided (sort of) by a giant, pot-bellied rat with delusions of grandeur, Rook stumbles into a quest that could change everything: recover three memory shards with the power to turn an NPC into a player character.

Unfortunately, this dungeon isn't especially supportive of personal growth. Along the way, Rook will encounter goblin-sized blenders, malevolent (and chatty) ancient artifacts, demons repurposed as transportation hubs, hallucinatory giant mushrooms, and trolls with a very specific skincare routine.

If Rook wins, he'll become a player character in a world designed to kill him. If he loses... well, the dungeon has plenty of uses for spare goblin parts.

Goblin Peon No. 49 is a darkly comic LitRPG/progression fantasy for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Defiance of the Fall.

Warning: rude language, fantasy violence, and goblin philosophy.
