Attorney by day, gamer by night. After a heart-crushing rejection, Allan Young blows off his responsibilities and escapes reality into the virtual world Conquest until his HUD starts glitching out. He wakes up the next morning to find that his neurological implant has fried yet again, and he begrudgingly decides to go to the office before he gets fired.

Allan Young is a highly skilled lawyer who has mastered his craft, honing his skills to perfection, and he’s gambled his fate in a single, crucial securities contract. But when he unexpectedly meets his client one fateful morning, his entire world crashes down around him. Suddenly, Allan is the target of a brutal assassination attempt, and he finds himself caught up in a dangerous, unknown reality. Allan grapples with the shocking realization that supernatural forces are at work when his attacker transforms into a terrifying creature straight out of a nightmare, and it quickly becomes clear that something far more sinister is at play. Allan survives the attack and inherently levels up in real life, unlocking hidden powers and abilities he never knew he possessed. He finds himself embroiled in a treacherous game, where supernatural forces vie for control, and the stakes are higher than ever.

After getting knocked unconscious during the attack, he later awakens in a primitive prison of barbed wire and fencing. Allan realizes he has become a pawn in a larger game, with forces beyond his comprehension manipulating his fate. He determines that he must be inside the game CONQUEST and has entered a new level. His only ally is a mysterious vagrant who claims to have seen visions and prophecies about him who serves as a guide, offering valuable insights and guidance as he levels up and masters his newfound abilities.

As Allan delves deeper into this apparent spinoff of the game, he struggles to unravel the web of intrigue surrounding him. But will the hidden powers and talents he’s discovered be enough to overcome the forces aligned against him, or will he fall prey to the nightmarish creatures that now stalk his every move? He must use his wits, strategy, and cunning to stay ahead of the competition and survive in this high-stakes world.

Allan's journey of self-discovery and survival is a thrilling adventure, filled with epic battles, leveling up, and supernatural forces beyond comprehension. He must master his skills and embrace his destiny to emerge victorious in this ultimate game of life and death.

Review

"Well what can I say? This was one hell of a way to start a saga! Like I said I was already excited with the idea of GameLit but Mulder manages to grab you from the start. If you love fantasy, scifi and thrillers (and of course dystopian fiction) you are sure to love this and get hooked right away."

- Sel McCormick, Zooloos Book Tours


"I totally got into the style and loved the plot and writing style. There are multiple things happening both within the game and in real life but I loved the thriller style plot which was exciting and intriguing."

- Book_a_holic_17, Zooloos Book Tours


"There was a lot of action which was fun to read and and I enjoyed following Allan's journey learning to play the game and also all the mishaps that were happening outside of the game too. I'm very excited to jump straight into book two."

- Runaway Irish Girl, Zooloos Book Tours


"When the other aspects of the story come to the fore it adds that extra dimension to the story and brings a level of cohesion to the story. Not only that we get the expansion of the characters that gives them depth. I ended up enjoying the book as a whole, and felt that it particularly came together in the second half of the story."

- Fantasy Book Nerd, Zooloos Book Tours


"A good read. Gripping. Great story and characters."

- Sue Wallace, Zooloos Book Tours

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Most of his friends from High School still don't even know his first name. Known only as either "Mulder" or "Agent", there was an unforgettable moment when a girl he was dating expressed her confusion when a friend approached him and called him "Richard". The ongoing joke was "Hey Mulder, where's Scully?" Ironically he later married a redhead...

R.M. Mulder began querying agents for his Conquest Saga back in January 2016. He then received some inspirational feedback from one of the editors involved in a query contest that had stated in part, "Honestly? Everything about this screams 'Blockbuster self-pub!!' Writing is sharp and commercial. Author has a plan. Go be Hugh Howey. I don't think querying is gonna go your way, and you've got big vision." Mulder ran with this inspiration, and has since become an Amazon Bestselling Author.

His series also won 1st Place as Favorite Dystopian during Virtual FantasyCon 2016.

Mulder invests his time and talents in his GameLit Saga "Conquest".

Even as a lawyer Allan Young never had a dull day. When the game elements kick in it becomes an urban fantasy on an adrenaline drip, with clever plot, constant action and tech that's familiar and some that was new to me. Supernatural powers and dangerous enemies throughout. Entertaining yarn, for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for fans of GameLit.

I usually avoid GameLit literature but decided to give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It did take me a while though to actually like the main character, however as the book moved along he came to grow on me. I would recommend this book even for those that usually do not read dystopian or GameLit literature.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first foray into game lit
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2023

So this is a first for me - game lit or LitRPG or whatever damn thing you call yourself! I just don't know (please don't send in answers. I disabled my comments and I am just too old).

Anyways. The story takes place in a game called Conquest and is about a lawyer, Allan Young who is invited to play by his buddy James. Conquest is massive multi player online game and after a faltering start, Allan begins to become accustomed to the mechanics of the game and soon finds that he actually enjoys the hack and slash of the game.

However, in real life, a number of things are happening that are having an effect. For one, Allan is on the verge of proposing to his long time girlfriend, Lily. As well as that, Allan is currently working on a case that is important to his law firm.

Through a series of inexplicable events, things change drastically for Allan and he finds himself involved with unimaginable forces.

Now, like I said earlier this is my first foray into this type of fantasy and initially I was wondering what on earth was going on. I mean, basically it's a book about a bloke playing video games every night. Yeah, there's some other stuff going on in real life, but I have got to admit I wasn't entirely on board here.

There was some interesting stuff with the setting, and from a general trickle of information, you soon realise that you are in this near future world where there is some kind of integrated technology, and you realise that you are at some point in the future.

However, it was the second half of the book that the story really kicks off, and when the other aspects of the story come to the fore it adds that extra dimension to the story and brings a level of cohesion to the story. Not only that we get the expansion of the characters that gives them depth.

I ended up enjoying the book as a whole, and felt that it particularly came together in the second half of the story. The characters became more focussed and the story more engaging.
