Dimitri's Epic Post #1

I am reading Epic, a novel by Conor Kostick. Right now I am on page 156. This is a story about a young teenager named Eric who plays a video game called Epic. In this book all the problems in the world are solved in Epic, so that real life violence doesn't happen. Eric lives with his mom and dad on the family farm. There is a problem that Eric faces, his family must win a tournament in Epic or they will be reallocated to a new place and might not be together. Since Eric's 1st character dies, he created another one. Usually people make their player a strong fighter and look like themselves. Eric decided to make his character a female redhead swashbuckler. So far his character been very successful in Epic, he made lots of money right off the start, and he has great attributes. One thing he wanted to do for a long time is to defeat a dragon. That is a very hard thing to do in Epic and if you achieve it then you become famous and get lots of money. Eric and his friends are the first in a long time to slay a dragon. Eric's parents kept a secret from Eric for his whole life. When Eric's dad met his mom, he hit another man. This act of violence can get you put into exile. After the years went by Eric's dad finally got caught. Luckily Eric has enough money to free him from exile now. So far this book seems very creative and interesting and I look forward to keep on reading it.
