Veil A Bardic Progression LitRPG [Revised!!]

Chanter turns copper coins into grenades. He's a Bombastic Busker, here to blow your mind. Thousands were selected to alpha test a revolutionary new game, Veil. They signed up thinking they'd be testing out the newest VRMMO. They were lied to. This is no VRMMO. Unbeknownst to them, they were killed and sent through a forced transmigration — their bodies recreated in another world. Their new home is a land ripe with magic, intrigue, and danger. They all think they're in a game. They're dead wrong. Chanter’s fresh start is immediately derailed when a system glitch drops him into the world with a randomized race and starting area. No chosen class. No starter equipment. Reborn as a changeling — a universally reviled and hunted race — Chanter is forced to hide his true identity. He struggles to overcome the odds, weaving explosive magic with his lute. He will need to obtain a class, gain admittance to the Adventure’s Guild, and overcome a quest labelled ‘extremely dangerous’—all while kindling his friendship with other players and a mysterious fox-like creature he first encounters early in his adventure. Teaming up with new allies, Chanter investigates whispers of undead in the catacombs below Verdantbrook, the first piece of a nefarious puzzle that threatens to bathe the streets in blood. He must unravel the mystery before catastrophe strikes. Explosive adventure awaits! Books 1 & 2 complete!
