Sidekicks and Sidequests

An apathetic introvert accidentally finds himself on the cusp of friendship, heroism, and doom in the third book of this epic fantasy-adventure series.

Declan Lu was never one for teamwork or companionship. Or really, any kind of interaction that didn't involve his best friend, Matt. But that was before an artificial intelligence hacked into his brain and invited him to become Dustin the Magic Myconid. Adventuring through new and mystical places, he's teamed up with a squad of fellow adventurers on quests for mana, gold, and glory.

Now, as the misfit crew's journey through the world of Indiri continues, their attempts to fulfill main quests and subplots alike keep getting waylaid. Dustin's power is constantly growing, and it's attracting monsters and minions who are determined to steal everything he's gained.

Meanwhile, troubles in the real world ensue. A powerful AI god is relying on Declan to stop an impending technological disaster before it overtakes the minds of the human race. As he races to solve the crises in both his virtual and his actual home, Declan-slash-Dustin will have to tread carefully—because not everyone he meets is as trustworthy as they seem . . .

Sidekicks and Sidequests is the thrilling conclusion to a riveting adventure series filled with heartwarming friendships, intricate magic, and complex world-building.

The third volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!



Sir Nil is an Australian author who got really bored one afternoon in high school and decided to vomit out a piece of brain-melting word soup he called a "story," dragging the poor netizens of a certain webnovel site through a truly horrific experience. He didn't even compose it on a typewriter, but on a smartphone—the absolute gall! Some say he's gotten better as a writer since then, having started multiple highly rated webnovels, one of which you may be reading as a published series, but he personally denies such allegations. 

Sir Nil studies biotechnology, though is not particularly good at it, and his personal writing motto is: "The secret to being original is copying so many people that your detractors give up pointing it out," which he encourages everyone to shamelessly steal without crediting him.

If ever you may face Sir Nil in battle or debate, simply bring up his first webnovel and he will shrivel up like an embarrassed prune, guaranteeing your victory through tried-and-true ad hominem attacks.
