Bog Standard Isekai

Scarred (Bog Standard Isekai #1) by Miles English follows Mark, who awakens in a burned village overrun by undead creatures that vanish by day and return at night. Trapped in a child's body and unable to level up, Mark must navigate this dangerous new world cautiously. As he moves to a nearby town, he uncovers a conspiracy that endangers the entire realm. Blending elements of fantasy, magic, and adventure, the story explores Mark’s efforts to find allies, develop his abilities, and confront threats in a setting influenced by role-playing game mechanics.

Nightmares by Miles English continues Brin’s story in a world where magic, monsters, and game-like Classes shape everyday survival. In the aftermath of the battle of Hammon’s Bog, the town is rebuilding and the undead threat appears ended, but Brin’s lingering trauma and recurring dreams signal that at least one Witch remains a danger. Cut off from the protection of stronger allies like Hogg and Lumina, he must push his Illusionist Class further, acquire new Skills, and adapt quickly to stay alive. Blending LitRPG progression, dark fantasy horror elements, and a young adult perspective, this installment focuses on recovery, growth, and the ongoing cost of facing supernatural enemies.

Benighted by Miles English continues Brin’s progression from haunted survivor to illusion-wielding combatant in a world on the brink of war. Having stabilized his mind and unlocked a class focused on illusion and glass magic, he now experiments with a new ability that lets him divide his thoughts, expanding both his tactical options and the risks he faces. As four nations prepare to clash with the Queendom of Arcaena and its undead forces, Brin is drawn into a knightly order and a larger conflict involving dragons, zombies, and post-apocalyptic stakes. His most dangerous asset is knowledge that the allied kingdoms’ greatest Paladin is secretly Arcaena’s agent, forcing him to decide how and when to use this information in a struggle where hidden loyalties and buried powers shape survival.
