About the Author
Storyteller at Heart
I’ve always been passionate about my favorite books, films, and video games. Engaging with the projects I work on, diving headfirst into the research, investigation, and production of stories I feel are worth writing about is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I am a curious and proactive Author, interested in subverting the foundations set by classical literature by adapting them to modern themes and my own personal philosophy.
Level One
September 6, 2022
Level One is the first book in the series of the same name.
​
Knights of Lectum promised to be the ultimate escape for players looking to dive into a unique, Fantasy world. However, not long after the game went online worldwide, a problem appeared with the NIM device that created the neural link that transports players into Lectum. In days, millions of players were trapped inside of the game, with only one hope for escape: Beat the Game.
​
One year later, a man going by the name Prakuza online and looking from the outside desperately reaches across illegal lines to abandon his mundane life to join the worry-free life inside of Knights of Lectum. Of course, even paradise has its own dark clouds and silver linings. In the case of Lectum, while the world is free of the responsibilities of the day-to-day, the reflection of reality is in several cases too accurate, most notably when it comes to pain. Death is something that human beings were never meant to live through, and the agony of it threatens to break Prakuza and the other players' minds.
​
In response to coming violently up against this truth that the rest of the world isn't aware of for those suffering inside of Knights of Lectum, Prakuza resolves to assist others in their quest for escape. To do this, he'll have to reach out, break through his own insecurities, and make friends along the long process towards victory.
