Crown of The Five Volume 1 - No One’s Chosen No One’s Chosen, Book 1/Volume 1 of the Crown of the Five sequence begins the story about an [Artifact Hunter], who finally found an item he just can’t let go of. Or, rather, the item can’t let go of him. Harlow, famed and eccentric, strictly ethical grave robber, an [Artifact Hunter] gets intertwined in a [QUEST] to defeat five God-like beings. Twisted, dark parodies of Gods that the very crown that Harlow became bound to created in the past. With the help of his reluctant allies, they have to pull on every physical and Arcane magical muscle, use every shady contact, and gather the best loot for dealing with them, and finally get the Crown of the Five off of his head. What you can expect: LitRPG-Lite: Characters and plot come first. Features [Classes] and Item Cards, but no stat pages, levels, distinct skills or notification spam. D&D Vibes: A High-Fantasy world featuring grand, quest-like ventures that pull the party in wildly unexpected directions. High-Tier Gear: Game-like Item Cards, with rarity, weight, and lore of more important and rare items. Darker Tone, balanced with humor: A gritty tone balanced by cynical banter between unreliable friends and enemies alike. The Arcane: the world’s magic system shrouded in mystery, with tangible, physical changes on those who choose to master its many different arts.
