The Soulgate Trials: Artifex Animae, Book One

Welcome, contestant. Your character submission for the Soulgate Trials has been gratefully accepted. Please take a moment to orient yourself. Yesterday, Jack Tenning was just another office worker. Today, he woke up Orion Stonebritch, one of a thousand players competing for a prize none of them understand. And it gets worse.  His first challenge is to build a team. The other contestants have all chosen power: wizards, warriors, and demigods. Orion? He's a blacksmith. And when you’re trapped in the Soulgate Trials, the real danger isn’t the system. It isn't the monsters. It isn't the strange new world built to host the competition. It’s the allies you’ll make along the way.
