Four other students round out a group whose lives will intertwine at Camelot — though only five can bond as a coven. A mild LitRPG set in a magic school, planned across eight books.

Duke is offered $15,000 to paint a mural — with a catch. He must first see what his client wants painted, which means entering a private server: Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, a survival horror full-immersion game where fantasy races clash with technology, giant monsters guard the gates of heaven, and players take the role of battlefield surgeons keeping those behemoths alive.

It was built by the world's most sadistic minds as a place to bring victims, exploit the game's full-pain and realistic anatomy systems, and push them far beyond any normal breaking point — then bring them back and do it again. Trapped, Duke has one goal: survive, win the game, and become the most ruthless monster in the room.
