R.M. Mulder – Deception @ZooloosBT @R_M_Mulder #Deception #Extract #booktour #SharonBTB

Welcome back again! I’m back with another exclusive extract from Deception by R.M. Mulder. The second book in the Dystopian Gamelit Saga. Again, this book looks like it needs me to read it! Hope you all enjoy this extract, too! Thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours for having me on the tour. Let’s have a look at the extract.

Brittany’s head swam. She was floating effortlessly in a thick cloud of darkness. Her feet couldn’t find the ground, and no matter which direction she turned, all she saw were wisps of darkness expanding eternally in every direction. 

Am I dead? 

A flash of light. And another. A horizontal line blinked at her. 

Then she recognized it. 

A cursor? 

The incessant blinking continued until several letters appeared in successive order, followed by the obnoxious cursor. 

C:\>CyberBolt.exe_ 

She heard a brief sound. An echo from far away, but it was indecipherable. 

Would you like to execute the program? Y/N
C:\>_ 

She heard it again, this time from behind her. It was still unintelligible. 

“Hello?” she called out, “Is anybody there?” 

Silence. 

Strangely, her own voice hadn’t echoed. 

C:\>Y_ 

There was that sound again. This time louder, but muffled. The echoing voice increased in volume until two words formed… 

“Wake up!” 

A string of coding filled her vision, scrolling at an intense speed. After several long minutes, it finally stopped, replaced by an increasing status bar. She felt a tingling sensation on the right side of her head. The tingling escalated to an uncomfortable warmth, and then a searing pain. She screamed. The pain was excruciating. 

And nobody could hear her. 

The booming voice said, “Officer Parker! Wake up!” 

At the very moment, a calming feeling numbed the pain as the familiar music-box-like hymn of Conquest greeted her, and the game’s logo appeared in front of her.

Brittany Parker is a Police Officer for a precinct that has adopted CyberBolt’s implant technology to enhance abilities, which also grants her a unique gaming experience. But after getting wrapped up in matters of National Security, she is ordered to undergo a dangerous procedure rumored to cause memory loss and dementia. After the excruciatingly painful experience, she awakens inside the Augmented Reality MMORPG game CONQUEST to face a terrifying threat unlike anything she has ever encountered before.

A rapture-like apocalyptic event transports players through a portal to an alien planet inhabited by the Leviathan, a loathsome creature whose insatiable hunger until now has been fed by that world’s few remaining souls. The terrain of CONQUEST is the same, however the game parameters have changed drastically.

Now in a First-Person-Shooter (FPS) setting, Brittany comes head to head with many foes in battles of wits and survival with her limited ammunition. Little does she know however, that the more she levels up in the game, the more she carries out the sinister work of the Leviathan.

Will Brittany see the error of her ways before she pays the ultimate price?

Author Bio

Most of his friends from High School still don’t even know his first name. Known only as either “Mulder” or “Agent”, there was an unforgettable moment when a girl he was dating expressed her confusion when a friend approached him and called him “Richard”. The ongoing joke was “Hey Mulder, where’s Scully?” Ironically he later married a redhead…
R.M. Mulder began querying agents for his Conquest Saga back in January 2016. He then received some inspirational feedback from one of the editors involved in a query contest that had stated in part, “Honestly? Everything about this screams ‘Blockbuster self-pub!!’ Writing is sharp and commercial. Author has a plan. Go be Hugh Howey. I don’t think querying is gonna go your way, and you’ve got big vision.” Mulder ran with this inspiration, and has since become an Amazon Bestselling Author.

He also has a Kickstarter campaign for Book 3 – Revelation – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rmmulder/revelation-gamelit
