Jackal Among Snakes

Algrave, the royal illegitimate son of the Vasquer family, changed after learning magic at the Gray Owl Tower. The sick man's awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced by neat dignity and acerbic wit. Although once listless, he now works toward his goals with life-or-death tenacity. Most people thought he seemed to know too much about too many details. Few can claim to know his motives or goals. However, behind this confident exterior, the open world RPG wiki's main contributor battles existential fears and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to the grim gothic fantasy world that mirrors his favorite games. When it transitions from entertainment to reality, the prospect of battling an apocalyptic disaster loses all appeal. Algrave was driven to unwelcome heroism in order to save his own life, struggling desperately to keep the sinking ship afloat. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
