Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…

Meet Sanders, a young man attempting to survive in the world of Unturned. Discover as he learns to survive against the odds, from mistaking glue as a drink, to being parts of elaborate raids on the Mafia in PEI, to rescues in Russia. Will he survive to find the truth of the world around him, or perish in the first few minutes? Find out in adventures of The Legends Of The Unturned. (Story was made when I was much younger, and I don't plan to likely continue or finish this story. Please check out my main story, Powers Against The World) **Note** -In order for this story to be as exciting as possible, I've based the story loosely around Unturned. While it will mostly be similar to normal gameplay of Unturned, some items may be found more easily, or even in places where they are not normally found. This doesn't mean I would put a military gun in a farm unless it could be found in the game or a similar item or event, but it could be something more minor. I also made factions and groups not found in certain spots or even in the game to make the plot cooler. I hope this doesn't ruin the plot of the story for the reader, and that it's overall enjoyable. Have a good read! This book is also an unofficial, unaffiliated novel based on the game of Unturned, created by Smartly Dressed Games.
