SPIRE: The Seven Rings War
[Mythic Pantheon Battle Royale LitRPG]
By Paul Todkill
The gods are real—and they hate you.
This wouldn't be true for most people, but for Samuel Lin, whose first interaction with a god was telling them to fuck off, well...you get the idea. In Sam’s defence, he was behind on his Master’s thesis, and he'd just been selected as one of humanity's representatives in an interstellar battle royale: a fight to the death on the grandest cosmic scale.
Dropped through a portal onto the slopes of Mt. Olympos, he discovers that the only way to survive is to climb, and the only way to climb is to fight. Overwhelmed by monsters and surrounded by enemies, it’s clear that he’s already been marked for death. Turns out gods are renowned for holding grudges.
The countdown has started, and contestants have been assembled from across the galaxy. With immortality on the line, only seven souls can conquer the summit. The winners will ascend to the Halls of Eternity, and for Sam, that poses a very interesting question.
Does he have what it takes to kill a god?
