Arise: Explorer: LitRPG Progression Fantasy series Kindle Edition

by Jez Cajiao (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 884 ratings
There’s an entire galaxy out there, and Steve’s already started a war with some of it…

Steve and his companions have been offered a chance, the slimmest of hopes, that the UC—whatever that is—will protect the earth.

But that protection, offered as it is with the full knowledge that it could embroil billions in a new war? It’s never going to come cheap.

The UC wants something, and it’s down to Steve to figure out how to pay that debt, or survive without their sheltering hand.

The greater galaxy is a harsh place, and in the eyes of those that battle to keep the flame of freedom alive another day, anyone that would give up their freedom to gain a little security?

In the galaxy’s eyes, they’d deserve neither.

In a world filled with criminals that escape punishment, where they escape significant consequences, hidden god-like beings and criminal organizations that act with impunity, get ready for a dark hero that will end it all. Nanotech, levelling, gruesome upgrades and the secrets of humanities darkest past all combine to drag you kicking and screaming to the epic conclusion in this soon to be complete LitRPG Progression Fantasy.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jez Cajiao was born a regular human, but over many years of trials and tribulations, he managed to survive to become...an older, uglier, and larger regular human! At a young age, Jez found that he truly disliked school, and due to that, decided to start work at the age of 11 in the family catering business.

After many years catering, Jez then traveled and worked at bars in Greece, where he, well, what happens in Greece stays in Greece.

He made a career change to welding, which he loved, but only for a short time, as he had developed welder's lung.

The pandemic of 2020 caused Jez to be furloughed, as his lung condition put him at a greater risk. During this time, he wrote every single day. With the support of his readers, he is now happily writing away in his home office full time, with the company of his wife, two children, two dogs, two cats, and the Sanddancers in South Shields.

You can find Jez on Facebook, Discord, Instagram, and TikTok, where he is always happy to chat with readers!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well developed and captivating series!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Imagine discovering that humans were evolved/created by an ancient space-faring race called the Aendari as Biological Weapons Variants (BWVs) infused with nanites, then abandoned as the first generations deployed to fight in space wars rebelled against their creators! This fascinating series written by Jez Cajiao (who has written several engrossing series with well thought out backgrounds and captivating storylines) follows a somewhat shady Steve who inadvertently enters a submerged and long abandoned creator ship, and gravely injured ends up in a medical capsule that completely rebuilds him and awakens his nanites as the original BWVs were intended. The first 4 books deal with building his team and their adventures dealing with other BWVs such as werewolves, vampires and the original Greek gods whose nanites have made them immortal. However, only Steve has access to and control of his nanites, and only he can harvest them from other BWVs to prevent their further resurrection. In book 5, Steve and his team are required to go to the cosmos to meet the original humans and other races in opposition to the arrogant Aendari. A compelling background and storyline shows how Steve, now developed into a Devourer, has more powers than members of the current species.

    Cajiao has become one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy writers because of his plausible backgrounds, well developed characters, and compelling storytelling. I heartily recommend this series, but please start at Book 1!

    And Jez does it again!! Jez is the absolute best LitRPG author and with Arise he combines SciFi and urban fantasy, along with his signature action scenes and humor! There’s just no way to put this book down! Action scenes so well written you can feel right in the midst of the fight. A plot with surprise twists and turns I could never have guessed. Then add the light hearted banter between characters and great humor. Oh, and character growth! I’ve been following these wonderful characters through 5 huge novels and now they’re my close friends! Thanks Jez! Can’t wait for book 6!

    Steve & his companions move around at a rapid pace, discovering Atlantis, killing mythical monsters & then launching into space to make the UC meeting.
    Conflict with the AEndari & other races, just seems to come naturally, and Steve, Ingrid & co continue on to reach the Quadrant Node.
    Awesome book. Looking forward to book 6

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's good but I'm confused by some of the supposed tension at the end.
    Reviewed in Australia on October 17, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I quite enjoyed this one, even if it has several things that didn't really makes sense to me. The fact only steve was affected by the warcrime tag made it feel like more of an artificial limit to his growth rather than a natural consequence of the killing, because he didn't do it alone, even if he did the most damage and stuff. Why would the system set up by the massmurdering slavers forgive any activite participants in a warcrime.

    Then my issue with the end of the book is that it is confusing. They should have no issues even if the creator race gets there, why would it suddenly change. If they could actually do what they are worried about, there would be no war, the creators would have already won. And if it's because Steve has authority, that's great, but if the AI can just steal the authority, it still shouldn't be a new thing, Argus specifies he can't deny an order from the creators. There is no way one of them didn't try ordering an AI to grant them authority since the nanite plague. So the creators are still in the exact same position as every time they visit a node, but it's played like it's different this time,
