Scavengers
Change is coming to Quest Academy. Can Sal rise to the occasion?
When the second years nearly lose their lives in a failed excursion, it’s the first years that pay the price. The curriculum is being radically altered to challenge the students, which means the stakes just got a lot higher.
Salvatore’s worst nightmare is taking on a demon, but if he wants to stay at Quest Academy, how will he prove to himself and everyone else that he can succeed? He’s going to have to take on an entire floor of a demonic tower before the first semester comes to a close.
That’s the least of Sal’s problems as he navigates through his first student mission away from the school. Sal is more comfortable at the crafting table, but he needs to survive in a reclaimed zone, outside of the academy, with the worst team of misfits you could possibly imagine.
It’s time to push the limits of Mythcrafting…

Brian J. Nordon
Brian J. Nordon didn’t set out to be a LitRPG author—at least not at first. But somewhere between his quiet hometown of Dundalk, Ireland and the sprawling universes of online role-playing games, a story took root and refused to let go. What started as a creative experiment on Royal Road quickly became something more. Wildcards: The Dread Pirate, his debut, cracked the site’s top ten rankings and sparked a small but passionate following.
That early success didn’t come without its share of stumbles. Brian’s path has been shaped as much by trial and error as by imagination. He’s candid about learning the craft in public—testing ideas, absorbing reader feedback, and constantly rewriting his internal rulebook. It was during one of those reflective moments that Quest Academy was born—not as a project to chase popularity, but as a story written for himself, one that finally captured everything he wanted to say about power, identity, and world-building.
Quest Academy
There’s something off about the elite training ground known as Quest Academy—and it’s not just the dungeon runs, leveling systems, or stat-boosting artifacts. It’s the way the walls seem to shift when no one’s looking. The way success is measured not just in XP, but in survival.
In this immersive LitRPG series, what starts as a fresh chance at power quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The protagonist isn’t your standard wide-eyed initiate. He’s flawed, self-aware, and just savvy enough to know that the rules of this game are rigged—and that someone, somewhere, is always watching.
Quest Academy consists of five books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
