Life smashing your walls? Build them taller. Then put auto-turrets on them.

Joe the Ritualist and the town of Novusheim have survived their first major battle, at the cost of leaving most of the settlement a smoking crater. Only most of it. The core of the town survived, and permanent casualties were low. Now that the survivors have a better understanding of what to expect, they go on a reconstruction spree… but why stop there? Every inch of their upgraded defenses will be more potent, durable, and deadlier than ever before.

Even as Joe is kneeling knee-deep in blueprints, an urgent message arrives; sending the Ritualist venturing across the frozen wastelands of Jotunheim. With the safety of his own town mostly ensured for the moment, they can’t make him stay… but not a single person wants him to leave. Trusting the wrong person has been Joe’s downfall more than once. As the cherry on top, Grandmaster Havoc tasks Joe with obliterating any Elven settlement he comes across.

It's better to end threats early on, before they have a chance to stab you in the back.

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.

Known for his passionate engagement with fans and a commitment to producing the stories they crave, Dakota Krout is one of the voices defining modern speculative fiction. 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.

The Completionist Chronicles

The Completionist Chronicles offers a thrilling, high-stakes journey into a world where quests, choices, and challenges are more than just part of the game—they define the very fabric of reality. Set in a universe where leveling up means more than gaining power, this series follows a protagonist determined to complete every mission, conquer every task, and unlock every secret that the world has to offer. But as the stakes grow higher, so do the consequences of success and failure.

What sets The Completionist Chronicles apart is its unique exploration of a world where the rules of gaming aren’t just for play—they shape every moment of the characters' lives. The protagonist, driven by an insatiable desire to "complete" his journey, finds himself facing not only the external threats of a dynamic, immersive world but the internal struggle between ambition and the toll that relentless pursuit takes on relationships, morality, and self. In this fast-paced series, every quest, every decision, every victory has weight.

Through its clever world-building, Krout delivers a universe rich with intricate systems, magical mechanics, and an array of characters that are as flawed as they are compelling. From combat-focused encounters to mind-bending puzzles, readers will find themselves rooting for a character who will stop at nothing to finish what he starts—yet risks losing himself in the process.

The series draws deeply from gaming culture, but it transcends it by adding layers of emotional complexity and philosophical questioning. It's about more than just completing the tasks at hand; it's about understanding what happens when you pursue perfection and whether it’s worth the cost. With each book, The Completionist Chronicles builds toward a deeper exploration of what it truly means to "win" in a world designed to challenge you at every turn.

For fans of LitRPG and epic fantasy alike, The Completionist Chronicles offers a blend of thrilling action, thoughtful character development, and a story that makes readers question what it means to truly "finish" a journey. Whether you're a gamer at heart or just someone looking for a story with high stakes and unforgettable characters, this series will pull you in and keep you hooked from beginning to end.
