About The Book

Join Oren on a thrilling journey as he rises to the challenge of transforming the weakest of creatures into an unstoppable force in this addictive science fantasy LitRPG that helped define the genre.

Once a powerful player. Now, a level 1 monster. Oren must embrace that side to survive.

He was a dominant force in the bustling digital realm of NEO, commanding wealth, prestige, and high levels. But when fate deals him a cruel blow, trapping him in the body of a lowly goblin and depriving him of his ability to log out, Oren is forced to fight for survival.

Stripped of his immense powers and cast into a hostile, monster-ridden wilderness—with the constant risk of the game frying his nervous system—his only way out of the virtual purgatory is to win.

But it’s not easy starting from scratch as one of the weakest races. Preyed upon by both monsters and players alike, his only hope for allies lies with… other goblins.

A new era is beginning, and it belongs to the monsters.

Experience the thrill of watching Oren's quest to turn his level 1 fodder character into a boss monster powerhouse in LIFE RESET, Book 1 of the bestselling LitRPG series that helped create the genre as we know it today.

About The Author

Shemer has been a fan of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and RPG games since the early 80’s.

In 2016 he started writing his first novel: Life Reset which turned into a 6-book series with its grand finale published in 2021. Each book in the series became an Amazon bestseller.

In 2019 Shemer quit his day job as a software developer to become a full-time author and released his second series: Earth Force; a finished 3-books sci-fi series.

Biomancer series was next, following events occurring after the conclusion of Life Reset via a new protagonist.

As an avid gamer, a D&D dungeon master, and a Navy veteran, Shemer has a wealth of life experience to draw on for his writing. His books always include elements of kingdom/settlement development where the protagonist is forced to carve out a new place for themselves in the face of adversity.

Shemer spends his days writing and his nights fighting crime (well, mostly convincing his kids to go to bed, which is very similar).

Shemer also enjoys writing about himself in the third-person and hopes you find his work enjoyable.
