Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I

Jen wins the lottery, but not any kind of lottery you’ve ever heard of.  The "prize" sends her and her best friend Sam through a rainbow portal to the Seven Decks. They must learn how to survive and grow strong in a harsh new world where magic exists and levels can be earned. However, with their experience as CIA operatives and MacGyver-like inventions and skills, they may just be able to overcome the odds. Chapters released will no longer be every Monday at 5 p.m.  I'm sorry, but I can't stick to a schedule right now...too much demanding my attention right now.  Chapter release will be somewhat random and may be several weeks apart. Note - Book 2 is a really slow work in progress, just keep that in mind when reading past book 1. I recognize from the comments and from personally reading "Two Weeks Curse" Ten Realms (great book in my opinion), there are some similarities (just like many of the other tower climbing stories, Isekai stories, and other Deck progression stories - there will always be similarities).  However, I believe there are significant differences in my story, that don't make it a "rip off". Books that I think are amazing that have influenced my writing (these are professional authors - I'm not claiming that my writing is equal to theirs, just that their stories influence my thoughts as I write this story.) All of Dakota Krout's books - His MC is sucked into a video game/real world, and they move to higher realms to fight other races. Delvers LLC by Blaise Corvin - two friends yanked into another world, and learn to use powers and crafting. Michael Chatfield's Ten Realms books.  Two MC are Isekai into the Ten Realms and you have to gain power to move up the Realms.  I have read the first 4 (I think he has finished all 10 now) - great books. Reborn:  Apocalypse by L.M. Kerr - great story about a guy that is reborn and gets to redo his life.  He is yanked into another world (with the rest of human-kind) and they travel up decks to fight other races. Towers of Heaven by Cameron Milan Alpha Test by David R. Pendleton - loved his crafting explanations/creations Survival Quest by Vasily Mahanenko - great crafting explanations Life Reset  - Shermer Kuznits - great crafting/Macgyver type creations. World Tree Online - EA Hooper -travelling up higher branches The Valens Legacy by Jan Stryvant - great crafting and fighting (not my interest... so constantly jumped past the harem descriptions) Super Powereds by Drew Hayes (liked all his books) - great power descriptions and many other litrpg and gamelit novels.
