My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror

Damien Vale nearly ended the world, but his mistake—binding himself to an ancient Eldritch creature named Henry—might now be its only hope. This cosmic being, who has witnessed countless creations and destructions, simply wants to be called Henry and is Damien's secret, unusual companion. Damien's sole desire is to study magic at Blackmist College and pursue a normal life as a researcher, yet revealing Henry's true nature would mean his own death.

Blackmist itself is a chaotic institution: his teacher is a madman from the front lines of war, and the alcoholic dean suspects something amiss. Damien must prevent global catastrophe, but first, he needs to survive Year One at Blackmist. This slice-of-life and LitRPG blend offers a slow-build power fantasy in a unique magic school setting from bestselling author Actus.

Greenblood is the second volume in the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror LitRPG magic-school series. Damien has survived every trial Blackmist has thrown at him, and with Henry and Sylph at his side, the future finally looks survivable. That optimism is short-lived: forces lurking at the edge of the Void have been watching for countless Cycles, and their power is growing faster than anyone anticipated. Herald has no intention of letting Damien settle into a comfortable routine.

As more of the truth behind the Void and its role on the Mortal Plane is peeled back, Damien is forced to confront the disturbing possibility that the Cycle may genuinely need to be reset—a prospect he refuses to accept without a fight. With Henry and Sylph's help, he plans to carry the battle directly to the greatest threat the Mortal Plane has ever faced, even as he suspects that launching such an offensive may be exactly what that threat has been waiting for all along. A slow-build power fantasy blending slice-of-life and LitRPG in a magic school setting.

Duskbringer is the third book in the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror LitRPG magic-school series. With the threat of the Corruption hanging over the Mortal Plane, Damien and It Who Heralds the End of all Light have struck a fragile truce, their shared goal of survival temporarily overriding their mutual enmity. Keeping a low profile seems like the sensible plan—but Blackmist rarely accommodates sensible plans.

The Intraschool Tournament is fast approaching, and Dean Whisp is determined to win. Damien and Sylph's rapidly growing power has caught her attention, and her scrutiny is the last thing either of them can afford. Meanwhile, ancient forces that have contested the Mortal Plane for Cycles continue to emerge from the shadows, and among them is a man carrying a terrible secret that threatens to reshape Damien's understanding of the world. A slow-build power fantasy blending slice-of-life and LitRPG in a magic school setting, this installment raises the tension as both personal rivalries and cosmic threats converge.

Voidwalker is the fourth installment in the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror LitRPG magic-school series. Damien and Sylph return from the Kingsfront Interschool Tournament having claimed first and second place, and summer promises a desperately needed reprieve. It is not to be. Second has been scheming in the shadows, and he is not alone: It Who Stills the Seas has disappeared entirely, leaving Damien's group surrounded by enemies with no clear ally to call upon.

Complicating matters further, Blackmist itself delivers fresh surprises when new arrivals bring an unexpected threat to school life—one Damien had never thought to prepare for. Every moving piece seems to tick in rhythm with Second's overarching plan, drawing an ever-tightening noose. Damien is determined to unmask and outmaneuver an ancient evil, even knowing that standing against a being of Second's stature may be the greatest challenge he has yet faced. A slow-build power fantasy blending slice-of-life and LitRPG in a magic school setting.

Dawnfall is the fifth book in the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror LitRPG magic-school series. Damien has escaped the Void, but the experience has left its mark: traces of Void magic are now woven through his very being, a double-edged inheritance that grants power at an unknown cost. He returns to Blackmist with more unanswered questions than he left with, even as Henry's former compatriots advance their plans and Second's influence continues to grow unchecked.

When one of Damien's friends goes missing at Mountain Hall—another of the kingdom's mage colleges—he decides he is done watching from the sidelines. Armed with Void magic coursing through his veins, he is no longer the frightened first-year who stumbled into Blackmist's halls. Mountain Hall is about to discover exactly how much he has grown. A slow-build power fantasy blending slice-of-life and LitRPG in a magic school setting, this installment marks a decisive turning point in Damien's journey from survival to mastery.

Damien emerged victorious from Mountain Hall, eager for a reunion with Sylph and a much-deserved respite. However, ancient plans of the Corruption are now clicking into place, unleashing the greatest threat this Cycle has ever faced. While the nobility remains embroiled in petty disputes, oblivious to the impending end of the world, Damien and Henry stand firm. They refuse to let everything they've fought for fall to the encroaching darkness. With the Mortal Plane's existence hanging by a thread, their only path forward is to achieve what even the combined forces of the Void couldn't: defeat Second once and for all.
