Step 3 - Palt

From the author of Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same: In the deadly Tutorial, an ex-pro gamer must face the consequences of his actions.

Lo Fennrick has been through Hell-literally. Surviving the levels of the Tutorial has been hard enough. His body has taken beating after beating, and his mind has disintegrated numerous times over. But on top of all that, it seems the gods have voted on his removal from the game, which would condemn him to an unknown future. Their aversion is hardly unexpected. After all, he's already assassinated an emperor, murdered the king of Acheron, killed thousands of others, and eaten human flesh. Few would be disappointed if he suddenly exploded into a cloud of confetti.

And now rumors are swirling about a Tutorial-wide tournament, spanning all difficulty levels, all servers, and all floors. It's the opening the human leaders who run the servers have been looking for to finally try Fennrick-PrissyKittyPrincess to them-for his crimes against both humanity and goblinkind. Defended by his lone friend, Moleman, he must thread the line between guilt and innocence as he simultaneously fights his way through the tournament and his own trial. His guilt is certain, but what of his punishment? With his stats at such high levels, can he even be executed?

With the entire world seemingly against him, Fennrick will fight off packs of drowned dogs, try out a paid internship, escape a pit of snakes, and maybe, if he's lucky, make a few new friends along the way. All in a day's work for the most hated man in the Tutorial . . .
