Trapped between worlds. Potentia might be the way out. Time to kill Something.

Luke is an apprentice leather worker, training with his family to one day take over the business. He and his friends Andre, Taylor, and Zed have known each other forever, and swear that nothing will ever tear apart their friendship.

Then the Royal Decree comes. With the Dynasty of Dogs invading, and strange monsters appearing in the Hollow Kingdom, a draft has been implemented. Everyone seventeen or older is required to be tested for ‘Potential’. If they have it, they will join the mysterious and renowned Ascender Corps. If not, they will be drafted into the Legion as a forced recruit.

Three of the friends test as powerful, or dangerous, classes of Ascender. Luke is found to have Potential, barely, but when he steps through the portal to begin his training… he is pulled to a plane that shouldn't exist. With no class trainer, the possibility of survival is low. Luke decides that he wants to live, and keeping his humanity isn't going to help.

His best chance is going Full Murderhobo.

Born with a love for gaming and a deep fascination with speculative fiction, Krout’s storytelling journey began as a way to combine his two passions. His books take inspiration from the structure of video games, particularly those within the RPG genre, but go beyond mere game mechanics—they delve into the human element of choice, consequence, and growth. Whether it’s through the perspective of a reluctant hero or a skilled but flawed protagonist, Krout’s characters live and breathe the worlds they inhabit, facing challenges that resonate with readers in a deeply personal way.

His breakout Dungeon Born series was a game-changer in the LitRPG space, offering an innovative take on the genre by introducing a protagonist who is not a human, but a dungeon core—a unique twist that captivated fans and marked Krout as a pioneer in combining the thrills of video games with rich, narrative-driven fiction. The series has garnered a dedicated following for its fast-paced action, smart dialogue, and complex moral dilemmas.

As Krout continues to expand his bibliography, each book explores new layers of storytelling, whether it’s crafting epic adventures or diving into the emotional depth of the characters. His works are filled with tension, humor, and an underlying sense of hope that balances the darker aspects of his universes.

His ability to blend humor with high-stakes adventure, along with his mastery of complex characters, ensures that his books will continue to excite readers for years to come. If you’re looking for a story that’s as thrilling as it is thought-provoking, Krout’s work promises to deliver exactly that.

Full Murderhobo

Full Murderhobo invites readers into a chaotic and humorous world where the rules are simple: survive, fight, and make your own path. The protagonist, a down-on-their-luck adventurer with a knack for causing mayhem, isn’t your typical hero. In a world where RPG-style quests and battles dominate the landscape, they’re more likely to stab first and ask questions never—making them an unpredictable force in a universe that thrives on combat and chaos.

What sets Full Murderhobo apart is its fresh take on the LitRPG genre. It’s not about following the rules or playing by the book; it’s about embracing the absurdity of an open-world, quest-driven landscape and turning it into a playground for chaos. The protagonist is a true embodiment of the "murderhobo" archetype—a character whose brutal efficiency and dark humor constantly push them into morally gray situations, where allies are few and enemies are many.

The world-building is rich yet lighthearted, blending a quirky RPG-style setting with fast-paced action and witty banter. From bizarre dungeons to over-the-top combat sequences, Full Murderhobo keeps the energy high and the stakes low—at least for the main character. Along the way, the story offers a wild ride through a world that doesn’t take itself too seriously, filled with strange creatures, unpredictable NPCs, and quests that range from the absurd to the downright ridiculous.

In terms of character development, the protagonist’s journey is both hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt. Despite their knack for mayhem, there’s a depth to their character that makes them more than just a chaotic force. As they clash with enemies, form unlikely alliances, and grow stronger with each battle, readers are treated to a compelling mix of comedy, action, and personal growth that keeps them coming back for more.

If you're looking for a series that’s as unpredictable as it is entertaining, Full Murderhobo delivers. With its blend of humor, action, and a protagonist who’s too wild for their own good, it’s a thrilling, fast-paced escape into a world where anything can—and will—happen.
