The Executor

Aleksey Osadchuk is a popular science-fiction writer familiar to LitRPG fans. “Underdog” is a series of novels he started writing under a pseudonym. Even though the “new” author’s name is unknown to everyone, the books quickly gain a wide readership. In the fall of 2019, the author reveals the pseudonym and publishes the books under his real name with Magic Dome Books. We’re presented with a world ruled by the Great System. The main hero, Erik, is a teenager born “reset”—that is, with low stats of “Life” and “Energy.” This condition is blamed on the machinations of the evil spirit Bag. The prospects are terrible: the boy risks being permanently confined to bed. His parents, who bought rare artifacts that supported his life, die. Erik is left alone with this world—yet unexpectedly he gains a power he couldn’t even dream of. In the seventh book of the series, the novel “The Executor,” Erik will need the strength he’s found. The sky of the Dark Continent is teeming with predatory creatures. At the gates of the Forest City (Lesograd), thousands of refugees are seeking salvation from a mysterious affliction. The wastelands are filled with packs of vicious necromorphs that devour everything alive in their path. In the Stone Forest, the Dark Gates open—through them pours an horde of monsters from other worlds. The ancient enemies gather armies and stockpile strength. Ancient foes form alliances. The Great System world is once again on the brink of change.
