Awakening

World of Magic #1 / 6
by Levi Werner
Awakening (World of Magic #1) by Levi Werner
Unrated

The future lies within our minds...

Paralyzed in a workplace accident, Lox’s life is looking bleak. He can't even use the cutting-edge hardware that would allow him to play in the full-immersion-games that have become so popular. This all changes when he hears from New Universal Frontiers, the company with the best game out there: World of Magic.

They offer him the ability to use their hardware despite his injuries, but at a cost... he can never leave the game.

Once in the game world, Lox quickly realizes that there is a lot more to this new realm than just a game. Given a class that everyone thinks is useless due its inherent dangers, Lox begins a long and painful series of trials, some of them explosive, almost all of them dangerous as he masters his magical abilities.

As Lox explores the depths of this world's magic system, he soon discovers there is a lot more going on here than anyone ever expected.

World of Magic is a LitRPG/GameLit series that features leveling, advanced magic systems, dungeon crawling, world exploration, and much more. It's perfect for fans of books like Emerilia, World Tree, and Ascend Online.

Levi Werner

Levi Werner is an author whose work in the LitRPG and GameLit genres invites readers into worlds where the line between reality and fantasy is delightfully blurred. Drawing on his deep love for immersive storytelling, Werner crafts tales that not only captivate with their action and adventure but also explore the emotional landscapes of their characters.

Born with a natural curiosity about the interplay between technology and human experience, Werner’s journey as a writer has been shaped by his fascination with the mechanics of video games and the philosophical questions they pose. It’s no surprise that his stories often center around protagonists navigating complex virtual universes, grappling with both external challenges and their own internal growth. In the World of Magic, readers meet Lox, a character whose journey of self-discovery and perseverance unfolds in a vivid, gamified reality. The series is a testament to Werner’s ability to weave emotional depth into his narratives while still delivering thrilling, action-packed plots.

Meanwhile, in Lich Lord, Werner takes a darker turn, following Zeke, a character reincarnated as a lich, who must navigate the moral complexities of his new existence. The series delves into questions of good versus evil, redemption, and the ultimate power of choice. Werner’s exploration of these themes is what sets his writing apart—his worlds are not just places of adventure, but of introspection and profound philosophical inquiry.

While still making his mark in the genre, Werner has garnered attention for his ability to blend traditional fantasy tropes with modern storytelling techniques. His unique voice and thoughtful character development continue to resonate with readers who crave more than just surface-level escapism. For those seeking stories that challenge the boundaries of reality, Levi Werner’s books offer a captivating, immersive experience that lingers long after the last page is turned.

World of Magic

In the World of Magic, reality and virtual realms collide in an immersive adventure where the boundaries of the physical world are as malleable as the magic that fills the air. Follow the journey of Lox, a character forced into a digital universe after a life-altering accident. In this new world, quests aren’t just challenges to overcome—they’re opportunities for self-discovery, and the stakes feel all too real.

The series is a seamless blend of high-stakes adventure and poignant introspection, where Lox’s journey through fantastical landscapes mirrors his internal struggle to find meaning and purpose in a life forever changed. With each quest, he uncovers not just treasures and allies, but deeper truths about himself. Werner’s writing brings this world to life with richly crafted landscapes, intricate magic systems, and well-drawn characters who each have their own motivations and mysteries.

But World of Magic isn’t just about epic battles or leveling up—it’s about what happens when the game becomes life. As Lox forms alliances, faces betrayals, and encounters challenges that test not just his strength but his character, readers are drawn into a tale that’s as much about identity, perseverance, and personal growth as it is about magical conquests.

What sets this series apart is its ability to balance the thrill of adventure with deep emotional resonance. The virtual world Lox inhabits becomes a mirror for his real-world struggles—loss, adaptation, and the human drive to find purpose in even the most uncertain of circumstances. It’s a story for those who love a hero’s journey but also seek something deeper beneath the surface—a tale that resonates long after the final page is turned.

With its unique mix of fantasy, emotional depth, and high-stakes quests, World of Magic is a journey into a universe where magic is both a literal and metaphorical force, and every decision can change everything.
