Magnin and Beory are dead, but Tyron is still alive.

However, the flame of vengeance burns in his chest, and only one thing can quench it.

Join Tyron as he weaves his plot of revenge right under the noses of those responsible for his pain, mastering the Necromantic arts and growing his undead horde, one body at a time.

RinoZ

In the ever-evolving world of LitRPG and progression fantasy, few voices resonate quite like that of RinoZ. An Australian writer who started his journey not in the spotlight of publishing houses but in the quiet corners of web fiction forums, RinoZ carved out a name for himself with stories that don’t just entertain—they pull you in, level you up, and leave you questioning the very mechanics of the worlds you thought you knew.

What sets RinoZ apart isn’t just his knack for crafting immersive game-like systems or his obsession with stat sheets—though both are present in spades. It’s the way he uses those systems as a lens through which to explore transformation, identity, and resilience. In Chrysalis, his wildly popular debut, readers were introduced to a protagonist reborn as an ant in a dungeon teeming with danger. But what could have been a quirky gimmick became something much more: a deep, often funny, sometimes unsettling exploration of what it means to evolve—not just in level, but in spirit.

Following the success of Chrysalis, RinoZ took a darker turn with Book of the Dead, a LitRPG necromancer series that swaps the swarm for the grave. Here, the stakes feel heavier, the world grittier. Magic isn’t just power—it’s consequence. Fans quickly latched onto Tyron, a gifted outcast navigating a brutal system that punishes those who defy its sacred rules. Through undead armies and moral ambiguity, RinoZ challenges readers to root for the kinds of characters fantasy often casts aside.

Raised on a steady diet of web novels, RinoZ came late to writing but early to worldbuilding. He often jokes that he started Chrysalis as a side project, “just to see if anyone would read it.” They did. Millions of words and a legion of fans later, he’s still updating chapters, still tinkering with character builds, still obsessing over whether a summoning cooldown makes sense.

Though he prefers to let his work speak louder than interviews, RinoZ once described writing as “a dungeon crawl through your own imagination. Sometimes you find treasure. Sometimes you get eaten by a mimic.” It’s this self-deprecating wit—and unrelenting curiosity—that keeps readers coming back, book after book.

Today, RinoZ’s books are available across Amazon, Royal Road, and Audible, consistently ranking among the top LitRPG and progression fantasy titles. But for those who’ve followed him from the early days, he’s more than just a chart-topper. He’s a fellow adventurer, guiding readers through strange worlds with a torch in one hand and a stat sheet in the other.

Book of the Dead

The story centers around an unlikely hero—a man forced to confront the darkest corners of existence when he stumbles upon the mysterious Book of the Dead. This relic, long thought to be lost to history, holds the key to untold power. But as he begins to unravel its secrets, he quickly learns that the book is not just a source of knowledge—it is alive, and it has its own hidden agenda. Now, he must fight not only to control the book’s power but also to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

The world of Book of the Dead is rich with layers of intrigue. From ancient gods to forbidden magic, every corner of this universe is steeped in mystery, and every revelation brings with it new questions and dangers. The narrative delves into themes of power, mortality, and the struggle between light and darkness, all set against the backdrop of a world on the brink of destruction.

Character-driven and plot-focused, the series introduces a cast of unforgettable characters who grapple with their own demons, both literal and metaphorical. As alliances shift, and enemies reveal themselves, the protagonist must navigate a treacherous landscape where nothing is as it seems. The choices he makes will determine not only his fate but the fate of the entire world.

Book of the Dead stands out in its genre with its atmospheric world-building and the constant tension between life, death, and the forces that lie beyond. It’s a series for those who crave mystery, magic, and the exploration of moral gray areas. Each book invites readers to step deeper into a world where death is not an end, but a beginning—and where every page turned could bring them closer to an ancient truth.

Dark, mysterious, and endlessly compelling, Book of the Dead is a journey through the underworld of fantasy that will captivate from the very first page. Whether you’re drawn to the arcane, the supernatural, or the eternal battle between good and evil, this series offers an unforgettable ride into the unknown.
