Twelve is right at the Menagerie’s door.

Jessen’s deadly assassin mentor isn’t happy about what happened to his apprentice, and the Menagerie are looking rather suspicious. Their time to deal with him is running out -- and he isn’t going to be nearly as easy to deal with as any of the other threats they’ve handled thus far.

But the Menagerie’s fame has started to spread beyond just the ears of their foes, and Jessen isn’t the only one at their doorstep. Everyone seems to want to claim a small piece of Milten for themselves.

Every day that passes brings fame and power to the Menagerie. But such things are nothing new to Arwin. He’s had both before, and neither hold any temptation for him. The only thing Arwin cares about are his friends, and he’ll do anything to protect them.

Anything.

Book 4 in the next epic LitRPG Saga from Actus, bestselling author of Return of the Runebound Professor. With nearly 7-million views on Royal Road, this definitive edition is perfect for fans of Seth Ring, Jonathan Brooks, Michael Chatfield and lovers of all things Progression Fantasy and Crafting.

Growing up surrounded by books, Actus always felt the pull of storytelling. Whether devouring classics or delving into obscure corners of speculative fiction, his passion for narrative blossomed early. The spark that would eventually lead to his writing career began with simple daydreams that evolved into more elaborate worlds filled with rich lore and memorable characters. It wasn't long before Actus began writing down his ideas, turning his childhood fantasies into full-fledged stories.

His books are marked by a deft blend of lighthearted moments and deep philosophical themes. Actus' work often explores the nature of identity, destiny, and the balance between humor and dark realities. Through vibrant characters and unexpected twists, he creates stories where readers can lose themselves—stories that challenge the way we see the world while providing a generous dose of escapism.

The Morcster Chef series, one of his most beloved, captures his knack for balancing the fantastical with the familiar. It's a perfect example of his ability to transform everyday experiences—like cooking—into high-stakes, magical adventures. This whimsical approach to world-building and character development has earned him a growing fan base, who eagerly await his next release.

Actus is not just a writer; he's a creator of worlds that are at once accessible and incredibly imaginative, grounded in emotional depth and fun. As his stories continue to evolve, his impact on the genre grows, with readers returning to his works for the same reasons they first discovered them: the promise of an unforgettable journey, filled with surprises and heartfelt moments.

Through his growing catalog of works, Actus proves that great stories are never bound by convention. His writing is a playground for the mind, where anything is possible—and everything is worth exploring.
