No Extra Lives
What if your last chance came too soon?
It’s been a while since I posted anything. And for a reason.
Some time back, I started writing something strange—a story about a dying kid, a glitchy fantasy world, and the thin line between escape and salvation. The deeper I went, the more it pulled me in.
So I finished it.
It’s called No Extra Lives, the first book in The Broken Circle Duology—a dark, psychological portal fantasy with a lite GameLit twist.
Think The Magicians meets Dungeon Crawler Carl by way of The Matrix.
🌀 The Story
Thane is dying. His body is failing, and his mind is slipping. When a strange new VR world promises distraction, he dives in—hoping to feel nothing at all.
But Arbelon isn’t just a game. It bleeds. It breaks. And it remembers what you’ve done.
Thane was looking to escape. But what he found might be all too real.
In a world where choices matter, there are no extra lives.
