Synopsis

The ads enthused, "The virtual lands of Mirror World await you! Live out your most secret dreams in our world of Sword and Sorcery! Become a Great Wizard or a Famous Warrior! Build your own castle, tame a dragon, conquer a kingdom! All those desperate, lonely, and insecure—Mirror World offers you a chance!"

But Oleg isn't meant to become a great wizard or a famous warrior. He'll never have a castle of his own. Neither will he ever tame a dragon. And he's definitely not the type to conquer a kingdom, however virtual it may be.

Oleg is doomed to toil away in the recesses of Mirror World's mines. His goal is to raise enough money for a heart transplant for his dying six-year-old daughter. The clock is ticking. Will he make it?

About Alexey Osadchuk

Alexey Osadchuk was born in 1979 in the Ukraine. In the late 1990s his family moved to the south of Spain, where they still live today. Alexey was an avid reader from an early age, devouring adventure novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jack London, and Arthur Conan Doyle. In 2010 he wrote his first fantasy novel, which was immediately accepted by one of Russia's leading publishing houses, Alpha Book. He also used to be a passionate online gamer, which prompted him to write the story of a man who joins an MMORPG game hoping to raise money for his daughter's heart surgery. In 2013, the first book of Mirror World was published by EKSMO, Russia's largest publishing house.

In fact, he actually moves his character to anot......more

A typical Russian based litrpg book (and I'm French so I can see the difference with USA authors). Here are some given parameters: - the world is full of greedy men - lack of social security system is given - elites and "managers" are expected to be corrupt - police will not help - Western people are not......more
