Threads of Fate
When a Hero falls, who rises up to catch them?
Once more, and against all odds, Marcus and the rest of Virtus have managed to snatch victory from the jaws of total defeat, capturing not only Carver but also destroying the orc advance completely.
Yet there is no peace in store for the exhausted victors, for not only must they pay the price for their desperate triumph, but they must also rise up once more to meet a new terror that has revealed itself.
A terror that, if left unchecked, will consume the world.

When Luke Chmilenko first sat down to write Ascend Online, he wasn’t trying to start a movement—he just wanted to tell the kind of story he’d always wanted to read. A story where the game wasn’t just background noise, but the world itself. Where the stakes were more than loot drops, and choices had lasting consequences. That book, published in 2016, quickly became a defining entry in the LitRPG genre—one that helped shape the virtual battlegrounds readers now devour with fervor.
Ascend Online
In the world of Ascend Online, reality is just one layer of a sprawling universe waiting to be explored—and conquered. This immersive virtual game isn't just a pastime; it's a battleground where players face high stakes and even higher rewards. At the heart of the story is a young man named Marcus, whose journey begins as an ordinary gamer seeking escape but soon turns into something much more. When he logs into Ascend Online, he finds himself swept into a game where the stakes are real, and the line between virtual and physical begins to blur.
Ascend Online consists of five books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
