Now you can invest in different quests with the possibility of profit from the loot that may be claimed. In the world of Arth, The Heroes’ Guide has turned slaying and looting into the economy of the world. A New Englander by birth and by temperament, Zack writes strangely funny fiction on the seacoast of New Hampshire. By day Zack is a web professional and creative-for-hire, but at night he returns to his lair to create books, films, and illustrations that meld fantasy elements with offbeat humor. Zachary Pike was once a basement-dwelling fantasy gamer, but over time he metamorphosed into a basement-dwelling fantasy writer. Promising fun, fantasy, and financial calamity, Orconomics: A Satire is the first book in The Dark Profit Saga, an economically epic trilogy. Gorm might be able to turn a bad deal into a golden opportunity and win back the fame and fortune he lost so long ago.
But there’s more to Gorm’s new job than an insane prophecy powerful corporations and governments have shown an unusual interest in the job. Twenty years later, a chance encounter sees Gorm forcibly recruited by a priest of a mad goddess to undertake a quest that has a reputation for getting heroes killed. Questing was all business for famous Dwarven berserker Gorm Ingerson, until a botched expedition wiped out his party, disgraced his name, and reduced him to a thieving vagabond. Corporations spend immense sums sponsoring heroes to undertake quests, betting they’ll reap the profits in plunder funds when the loot is divvied up. The Heroes’ Guild has turned adventuring into a career, selling the rights to monsters’ hoards of treasure as investment opportunities. For the licensed wizards and warriors of Arth, slaying and looting the forces of evil is just a job. (Excerpt from Goodreads) Brimming with swords, sorcery, and wit, Orconomics: A Satire introduces Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels.
