Project Chrysalis #5
Journey Never Ends
After the battle with the keepers at the final stage of Project Chrysalis, the world is in peace—but the story is not over for the founding members of the Society of the First People. Jumping at the chance to undo their past mistakes, they use alien technology to travel into a different world—one that seems surprisingly familiar. The world of the twenty-first century.
This time, there is no virtual reality. The real world is a cruel one, filled with strange devices that divide people into classes: scouts, warriors, farmers, collectors, manufacturers, and rulers, giving them access to technology beyond their wildest dreams. Secretly introduced by the Society of the First People, this tech is the only way to save everything from the upcoming catastrophe: the advent of the Ocean of Chaos.
The path of Adrok Halderi starts on July 4, 2025, at the Aerie Stadium, during the hostage-taking and mass execution of people by a terrorist organization calling itself Temple of Souls. Their goal is to make this world better, no matter the price or how many lives they will sacrifice.
An accident survivor of a massacre, Adrok resolves to stop them and have his revenge—but instead of spilling blood, he starts changing the world by healing whose in need with the help of the previously unheard-of advanced technology that falls into his hands. As Adrok gains authority and masters his skills, people start calling him Radiant, believing him to be the savior of humanity. But little he knows that his journey is only the beginning of a crusade of the one known as Sagie…

About the author
John Gold
23 books55 followersMy childhood can be simply described in one word: rebellious. Both of my parents were working all the time, so us kids had total freedom to do whatever we wanted. Being an inquisitive child, I spent days reading books and encyclopedias. I called it expanding my horizons. My parents called it being lazy. I read every book my hands could get a hold on. Back then, we didn’t have the luxury of the internet.
The first computer, and therefore first time on the internet, in my life appeared when I entered university. It brought entirely new worlds to me. After classes, I would search through breathtaking stories describing unseen worlds, their histories, and characters. The most lasting impression for me was the Fallout series.
I remember everything as if it was just yesterday…
At 22, I went through a pre-midlife crisis. I was finding out my place in the world, trying different jobs and directions for life. Restaurants, websites, freelance, ghostwriting — everything I did, I gave it my all. Life was like a game to me: you earn resources and gold and spend them on armor and equipment.
At the end of 2013, I read my first LitRPG book. I read all of the stories from the first LitRPG wave in Russia. It was a revelation! The two things I liked the most, internet gaming and books, were now seamlessly combined to produce heroic stories. Needless to say, I became a fan of the genre. It was like reading and playing at the same time, a game you could only dream of!
I was full of emotions and energy and purely inspired. I had so many things to say and write that eventually I put pen to paper. The story just wrote itself: a world of mystery, elaborate plot twists, and devious characters. No free hugs, no super luck, no powers and definitely no magic for free. That was the book I ended up writing.
If I’m being totally honest, sometimes I cried when I wrote the traumatizing and dramatic life experiences of Anji. I was with him, side by side, and I felt his pain as if it was my own. And I wanted to share our story with the world.
I’ve put my soul into this story, so after six months, all four books were ready. I’m not going to say much about the story itself or the ending. That would be unfair.
The most important thing to remember while reading: everything will be alright in the end. If it’s not alright, then it’s not the end.

Amazing continuation to a great series
While very little of the book covers the main character anji ganet, it brings you into new information and mysteries that were revealed at the end of book 4. Book has great action, drama, character development and finally leaves you waiting for continued of the epic journey of segie.

Well written but definitely a side story
It was a great story with great writing, but this seems like it should be designated as a side story. There was almost no resemblance to the previous four books in terms of world building or story development. I like I’m getting whiplash from all the changes in direction.

Good but lacking
Honestly really enjoyed this book but it wasn't what I was expecting or wanting out of book 5. Felt like an overly complex book 4.5.

Hello
People are disliking this book for no reason, grade it's quality not the fact the Arthur defines a continuous series slightly different.

Ugh
This should have been a 4.5 optional and a bit more warning that this was a story about someone else that merges with Angie
