Karmadont’s Chessboard

Can Mahan find a loophole and emerge victorious?

The shaman Mahan has risen from a convict in the mines to one of the most influential figures on his server, Barliona. Even his clan, completely insignificant not so long ago, is now a force to be reckoned with across the entire empire – especially now that they own a brand new, powerful castle. However, Mahan had to pay a high price to acquire Altameda, triggering a scenario where the stakes will be higher than his opponents are used to… While the power dynamics in Barliona seek a new balance and the strongest clans prepare for war, Mahan must quickly learn how to lead a clan of thousands. But management isn't a shaman's forte, so Mahan soon turns his attention to a few half-forgotten quests that require a bit of intuition and unconventional solutions. And this time, he won't be alone! Even a maverick shaman can have an apprentice, one who is at least as unorthodox as her master. From wolf packs to the open sea, the Way of the Shaman truly leads to unexpected places. But Mahan must also think of other worlds – especially the other gaming continents where similarly gifted jewellers are hot on his heels in the race to be the first in all of Barliona to re-craft the legendary Karmadont's Chessboard and use it to unlock the tomb of the Creator himself. In theory, Mahan is nowhere near a high enough level to even work with the required materials, but there's no time left for levelling up. Can Mahan find a loophole and emerge victorious? The publishing house FANTOM Print is keeping up the pace, so readers can now enjoy the fifth book in the successful LitRPG series, The Way of the Shaman. Its game world is almost infinite, constantly introducing new quests and achievements, as well as intrigues and power struggles perhaps even more intense than in reality. Barliona is simply a highly addictive game – and just reading about it is enough to get you hooked.
