From the author of the Terminate the Other World! series: The dungeon-core adventures of a young man and his ever-expanding, ever-loyal hive continue! Not long ago, all Belissar wanted was to be left in peace to tend his apiaries. But that ended when Ruckanos, the brutish son of the local lord, slaughtered his village to make way for his new tower. Rescued by a bee-who happened to be a core-the one-time beekeeper then became king of his own bee realm. Belissar quickly learned how to thrive not only as a leader but as a fighter, using his winged minions to battle the dreaded Hunger that threatens all life. Now, aided by the mystical bear folk who share their knowledge and wisdom with him, he must continue to grow. Because his bees are no longer simple servants; they're advancing on their own as a fighting force as well as individuals as they battle the Hunger in all its forms. And they live only for Belissar's blessings and glory. Now that's some serious power. But Belissar will have to harness that power if he's ever to control his tower-and soon. Humiliated and sent on a suicide mission, Ruckanos is determined to hunt down Belissar and his beloved bees and reclaim all he lost . . . The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series-with more than four million views on Royal Road-now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
