Battle Spire

Hundred Kingdoms
by Michael R. Miller
Battle Spire (Hundred Kingdoms) by Michael R. Miller
Unrated

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he’s fighting for his life.

When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players. But Jack is in a worse predicament. He’s cornered in the very tower the terrorists have taken as their base; the only free player left within its walls. Even worse, in the real world, his body lies in a sweltering room with no hope of relief.

Playing the profession-based Scavenger class, and at a low level, Jack’s prospects of fighting his way out are next to impossible. Crafting gear, traps and weapons, allying with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can’t fully trust, Jack is in a race against time to save not just himself but the millions of players held hostage.

Battle Spire is a meeting of World of Warcraft and Die Hard, using crunchy LitRPG mechanics with a heavy focus on crafting. Readers can expect to find in depth item and spell descriptions, along with stat tables and profession recipes.

Note: strong language is used throughout.

Michael R. Miller

Michael R. Miller’s writing brings readers into the heart of sweeping fantasy worlds, where dragons fly high and the fates of heroes are bound by the choices they make. Known for his vivid world-building and fast-paced storytelling, Miller has established himself as a captivating voice in the realm of epic fantasy.

Growing up along the rugged coast of Scotland, Miller was immersed in a landscape rich with myth and legend, a backdrop that would influence much of his writing. His stories are inspired by the wild beauty of nature and the timeless conflicts of heroism and destiny. From these roots, he created The Dragon’s Blade series, a trilogy that explores themes of redemption, transformation, and the bonds that hold worlds together. With millions of readers across the globe, his debut The Reborn King and its follow-up novels set the stage for an unforgettable journey through realms of magic and power.

Miller’s writing stands out for its ability to blend compelling character arcs with intricate magical systems. His readers are often drawn into the personal struggles of his characters—fighting for identity, control, and survival in worlds that feel as real and dangerous as our own. Beyond his novels, Miller’s expertise extends into the world of publishing. With a background in Bloomsbury Publishing and as a co-founder of Portal Books, a digital publisher, his insights into the evolving landscape of self-publishing have earned him recognition in multiple circles.

But it’s in his latest works, like Songs of Chaos and the Ascendant series, where Miller truly finds his stride, blending classic dragon-riding fantasy with a fresh, daring twist. In these tales, readers follow ordinary characters who find themselves thrust into extraordinary circumstances, battling forces much larger than themselves—both on the battlefield and within their own hearts.

From chart-topping bestsellers to recognition in academic settings (with excerpts from his novels appearing in the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts Exam Anthology), Michael R. Miller’s influence continues to grow. His writing is a testament to the power of storytelling to connect us to our deepest hopes, fears, and dreams.

When not writing, Miller often explores the intersection of nature and myth, crafting tales that invite readers to ask what it truly means to be heroic.
