The Hunter Killer | Book 1: S.T.E.L.L.A. [A LitRPG Saga]

Among the trillions who tune in daily to the Universal Games, no one expected a lowly, unknown NPC to shake the system to its core. In an expansive, open-world MMORPG where elite Hunters chase glory, power, and arcane secrets, viewers across the galaxy watch in awe. Hunters are feared, revered, and unrestricted—true players in a system built for entertainment and domination. Xaz doesn’t know he’s part of the Game. Raised as the heir to a simple merchant family, his memories of Earth are locked away, sealed by a system that views him as nothing more than background flavor—a non-player character meant to make the world feel real. But when he crosses paths with Stella, the Game’s most advanced artificial intelligence, everything changes. Xaz soon uncovers the truth: the NPCs are real people, abducted and memory-wiped, their lives twisted into digital performances. And he’s about to become their reckoning. He was never meant to level up. He was meant to stay silent. Instead… he became the Hunter Killer.
