Arcane Arctic 3

A LitRPG Dungeon Crawl Adventure

Situation Upgraded: From Bad to Worse, with a Side of Crazy!

Jay Morgan, his Barbarian bestie Molly O'Brian, the fierce fox-kin archer Lyra, and their newest companion, the dark magic-wielding Hareblood woman named Dahlia, have finally reached the third floor of the dungeon.

Their mission: to infiltrate the Mad King's castle and retrieve a vital [Corporeal Artifact] for Nova, the enigmatic and slightly unhinged entity that rules the dungeon and has an obsessive interest in Jay.

But as soon as they arrive, they're ambushed by a group of hostile holy-rollers. As if paladins don't already have a chip on their shoulder the size of a Wall Street bailout... these ones seem to have a special hate-on for Jay and his girls.

A narrow escape leads the party into the Night Market, a bizarre and dangerous place where dungeon goods are traded against World Dungeon Market regulations.

The good news is, this might be where Jay can find the spell book to unlock more secrets of his class.

The bad news? These paladins are ladies who just won't take no for an answer, and they're in hot pursuit of the "one who got away."

With enemies closing in from all sides, trust is a luxury Jay and his team can scarcely afford. Danger lurks in every shadow. Alliances form and break in the blink of an eye.

If Jay and the girls are going to navigate this treacherous floor with their lives intact, they'll need wit, courage, and a dash of insanity. Fortunately, they've got that last bit in spades...
