Do you ever wonder why spirits take the actions they do? What if there was a system of rules they had to follow?
Clive Logan is a serial killer; or, to be more accurate, Clive Logan was a serial killer. Caught after a record-breaking streak of murders, he was executed by lethal injection by the state, while thousands of his victims’ grieving family members watched.
That should’ve been the end of his emotionless and unfeeling existence – but it wasn’t.
Sent to Hell – where he enjoyed himself entirely too much – he was singled out to become a Spirit Core, an invisible spiritual entity that eventually ended up back on Earth. At first unfamiliar to him, his new incarnation slowly revealed itself to have its own set of rules, following something not unlike the video games he used to program back when he was alive. At its root, he was tasked with invoking fear upon his new victims – but there was just one problem.
Having never felt any emotions before, he had no idea what that meant. Now, in order to kill his assigned victims, he will have to explore his new abilities as a Spirit Core and learn what it will take to literally scare them to death.
This is a story about a serial killer, and he does what serial killers do, so if the "bad guy" winning isn't for you, you may want to steer clear...
Contains LitRPG/GameLit aspects such as statistics and leveling, as well as Dungeon Core elements.

Live for fear
This is the second time I have read this series, the first time was to get ready for the last book. It still did not disappoint. I seem to understand Clive and his motivations to kill. I loved reading this as a whole set because it showed me the progression of Clive's mind as he grew as a core.
