  “Alex, don’t hold the past against me. I was an idiot. Just say, can you help me? I understand you probably don’t want to, but can you?”

  “I can,” I answered. “I’ll help. When are you leaving?”

  “Soon.”

  “What’s the nature of your threat?”

  “Any time I’m attacked, all my attributes are multiplied several times.”

  “How many times exactly?”

  “A lot. It was ten at level one, but I leveled it. Now it’s seventeen, basically.”

  I freaked out for a long time, impressed at what I heard. Now I could see how he took down the guards in Little Gully. But... Wait, what about Eve?

  “So am I right that the skill applies to everyone in your group?”

  Crag nodded.

  “Here, I’m gonna invite you to my clan, Tobias. I know a place where we can hide you. You and your character.”

  Level-26 warrior Crag (player Tobias Asser) has joined clan the Awoken.

  “I don’t know what your superpower is yet,” Crag said excitedly. “But I imagine we’ll be able to do a lot together! The whole world is gonna shit itself!”

  As a matter of fact, I didn’t know what my superpower was either. Behemoth’s quest about the Destroying Plague wasn’t finished yet, but I had no doubt I would complete it now. With Tissa, Infect and Crag, we would easily clear the city of the remaining undead. And what would the Sleeping God reward me with then...?

  Was it really that important? I figured that the reward from eliminating Big Po as a threat would be enough that my share would be able to pay for a full course of study at university...

  I decided to think all that through later, taking it one mission at a time. And Dis confirmed that I was on the right track with a notification:

  Current threat class increased: L!

  About the Author

  DAN SUGRALINOV grew up in a small working-class town on the Russian border with Kazakhstan. It’s a miracle he survived his childhood games of hide-and-seek in the surrounding building sites complete with perilous rebar structures and flooded foundation pits.

  Ever since he learned to read at the age of five, he couldn’t put a book down. Reluctant to earn himself the name of a conceited nerd, he concentrated on playing soccer which allowed him to become friends with the town’s toughest kids.

  In 1995, he graduated with honors, entering the St Petersburg Academy of Engineering and Economics where he studied business creation. He must have done something right because in the years that followed, he first worked on TV and radio just to get the taste of it, then opened his first successful business followed by several more. In between, he started writing and playing video games, winning the St Petersburg Mortal Kombat championship and becoming runner-up for Starcraft and Warcraft 3. He is a 14-times champion in Quake, Quake 2 and Quake 3 as well as the world’s ex-#1 in the World of Warcraft.

  In 2004, he wrote his first motivational novella The Bricks which to date has garnered him over 3,000,000 readers online alone.

  In 2014, Russia’s leading publishers of business literature Mann, Ivanov & Ferber published a revised and extended edition of his book, The Bricks 2.0.

  In 2015, Dan discovered the existence of LitRPG. He devoured everything that had been written in that genre until he finally decided he too could write similar books.

  In summer 2017, he published his first book in the subgenre of RealRPG: Level Up.

  Dan Sugralinov is a consummate gamer, a multiple MMORPG champion and the world’s ex-#1 in the World of Warcraft. He is also a successful businessman and author of books on marketing and business organization. His first LitRPG series Level Up took Russia by storm in 2017. The English translation of the series is about to be released on Amazon in its entirety.

  [1] Bogatyr is a type of medieval Russian warrior characterized by exceptional physical strength

  [2] In the middle ages, the so-called "judgment of God," meant subjecting the defendant to some sort of trial (for example by fire or by water), which they had to survive in order to prove their innocence.

  [3] An individual with no value to society.

  [4] HCMO – Human-Controlled Mobile Object, i.e. a mob controlled by a human.

  [5] Finger Family Song, a children's learning song about a family of fingers popular the world over.

  [6] BG, gamer slang for battleground.

  [7] Yiruma (real name Lee Ru-ma) is a South Korean pianist and composer from the first half of the 21st century. River Flows in You is one of his most famous works.

  “Grand piano in the bushes” is a Russian idiomatic expression meaning an impromptu obviously prepared in advance, or an unnatural, artificial twist of the plot of a work of art, presented by the author as an accident.

  This phrase became a well-known cultural reference and a metaphor for an event happening in a presumably unexpected, but oddly very convenient way. It’s roughly similar to the “deus ex machina” trope.
