Incursions — J.A. Giunta

From the author of The Ascension Trilogy, War Golem and The Warden's Legacy comes a new fantasy series that blends the genre with LitRPG and science fiction in a page turning thrill ride.Palmer never felt like more than an average high school kid—until the day he discovered the portal. One moment of reckless curiosity pulled him through a hidden doorway into a world of magic and monsters and stats he could suddenly see ticking upward. He was a player now, able to level, fight, and grow stronger as if he'd stepped into a brand-new game.But with every quest he completed, one question gnawed at him: If this world is a game...what did I leave behind?The answer is worse than he imagined. The portal isn't a glitch—it's a hack. A bridge between servers created by malicious players who intend to carry their hyper-leveled characters into Earth's simulation. If they succeed, no one back home will stand a chance.To stop them, Palmer must team up with a handful of others like him and any friendly player allies willing to help hold the line against an onslaught of reckless and bloodthirsty PvPers. Their best chance is to stop every new breach before it creates a permanent bridge, and enemy players destroy his world, to put an end to the...Incursions.
