Dont Call Me Jack

By: David Lingard

Narrated by: Ben Douglas

OK, I need to clear something up before I start. I’m not Jack the Ripper.

I was actually a pretty normal guy for the most part. I enjoyed drinking, and spending time with my friends and family. All of a sudden, I found myself transformed into a Reaper of Souls and sent back in time to Victorian London.

At first, I didn’t know if I was in a drunken nightmare or if I had been drugged. But as the time passed, it became clearer that this was my new reality, and I had no choice but to simply get used to it.

I had been sent back to act as a "Nighttime Reaper" guiding lost souls to the afterworld, though I would quickly find that a part of my human self still remained, and during the day I would revert to it.

At night, I would become the Reaper. A part of the magic that transformed me meant that anyone looking directly at me would see but a shadow of a man, not wholly there, though not entirely absent either.

I found out that my powers meant I was constantly teleported to the victims of others as they experienced mortal peril. I would learn that perhaps I could help people, rather than what I thought Reapers were supposed to do.

A normal guy by day, and a Reaper by night. Join me as I try to use my powers for good rather than evil, and bring an end to the horrific killings in Whitechapel in the 1880’s.

This includes leveling and LitRPG/Gamelit elements...and has a loose basis in history.

Highly entertaining

Wow! This story was as inventive as any I’ve ever read. Characters, plot, setting and narration are all on point. The gameplay mechanics aren’t overwhelming and the flow of the story doesn’t get bogged down by stats and upgrades like I’ve seen in other books. I’d love to see this as a movie. Don’t pass on this one ladies and gentlemen. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve checked out recently and highly recommend this to anyone. Even non-LitRPG fans will enjoy this book. Bravo!
