Hello grunts, non-grunts, and disgruntled people!
Buckle up, grab your dip, and pack your lip. This is Alex Karne, here to talk to you fine folks about Magic Murder Cube Marine. It’s my first LitRPG, the first book in the series, and I’ve had a blast writing it.
Just don’t try to drink anything while you’re reading the first chapter, because it will end up getting sprayed everywhere. And definitely don’t read this book around any sleeping dogs or spouses. Your laughter will wake them up, and they will wonder why you’re shaking like a Humvee on the highway in a hurricane.
Seriously, don’t overthink it. Stop what you’re doing, set your drink down, and read the first chapter. You don’t have to be a grunt to enjoy it, though grunts will love this series. If you like LitRPGs and deserve a good laugh, this book is for you.
As for me, I write a few different series, love playing and designing TTRPGs, and I’m going to ride this thing until the wheels fall off. Writing full-time is what I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve been incredibly blessed to find an audience that loves my work enough to support that. And hopefully, that will include you too soon.
Do me a favor, though, follow me online. It’s important, and I actually like hearing from readers. It brightens up my day and gives me energy.

Now, I must go back to writing, and you’ve got some reading to do. But preferably not while drinking a beverage, though if you do try, record it. I want to see what happens.

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved, killing everyone around him.
After being vaporized in the line of duty, Francis is transported to a new world full of gods and magic. Too bad Hades is trying to kill him for declining a job offer, and System holds a grudge for what happened during character creation. His new patron deity seems nice, but who knows if they can be trusted?
Armed with nothing but his lucky pink booty shorts, a pair of matching flip-flops, and nineteen years’ experience fighting in the Marine Corps, Francis has one goal: find a way home to his fellow grunts, or be listed as KIA forever.
Grunts love this book, and you will too!
