Jakob Tanner

Jakob Tanner, the author behind Arcane Kingdom Online, Tower Climber, and Second Chance Swordsman, is a storyteller whose worlds are forged in the fires of video games, anime, and classic fantasy. Born in Toronto, Canada, Jakob's love for immersive, expansive storytelling started early, shaped by his experiences with MMORPGs, the Final Fantasy series, and epic anime like Full Metal Alchemist. These passions blend effortlessly into his writing, where video game mechanics meet high-stakes adventure, creating stories that capture the excitement of a battle for survival and the nuances of personal growth in virtual realms.

Jakob's journey into writing began after he graduated with a degree in English Literature from the University of Toronto, where his understanding of storytelling and character development deepened. He later moved to the UK, balancing life as a writer with his job at a bookstore—an environment where stories thrive and creativity flourishes. It's from this intersection of real life and virtual worlds that his LitRPG novels are born, each one drawing readers into worlds filled with magic, strategy, and danger.
