Rorkh

Vova Bo is the pen name of a Russian-language fantasy writer known for his cycles of fantasy novels. One of his most successful projects is the “Rorkh” book series, created in the ambience of LitRPG. The series won the literary contest “New Frontier,” held by the publishing houses “1C-Publishing” and “Magic Dome Books” on the Author.Today portal.

And here’s the result: the first book of this cycle has already been translated into English for sale on Amazon.

Rorkh is a virtual world—safe by day and deadly at night. That’s why, after dark, only the most desperate and brave play. The key nuance is that in this world, the death of a player character is fatal, and a new body costs a lot of money.

The main hero, having lost his character—his “h u n t e r”—rents someone else’s and, using that person, performs an important service for a powerful guild of players. In the end, he receives an offer to join them, and even the chance to acquire a new “hunter” on good terms.

Participation in a night mission together with the guild opens new facets of the virtual world—where people sometimes turn out to be more terrifying than the monsters that appear at night. Listen to the beginning of the story in this audiobook.
