Description
Ognevika, the almighty Red Dragon, solved all her problems with naps and fire. Now, thanks to a very dangerous magic book, she is as an outcast kobold facing down a legion of murderous adventurers with only her wit and an unlikely friend.
At least the world isn't ending in 25 years... right?

- Jeff_139Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0To be honest, EG was one of my favorite of your books, and while I do get the old hiatus, I hated to see it go more than words can express. I hope this is back to stay, and I can't wait to see all the old chapters pumped back out and plenty of new ones added to the collection. EG has been such an inspiration for me to write my own content, books and games and such, and I cannot wait to see where this is going to go. Romatically Apocalyptic will always hold a special place in my heart and comes at a close second, but nothing tops Error's Game.
- ishnerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is the story of a book. All that stuff about kobolds is nonsense. This is the story of a good book! A sapient book of great power struggling to affect the world by convincing people to read it out loud. A HEROIC BOOK, trying to avenge the greatest injustice the world has ever known and save all people from the creeping doom that threatened all things. Without The Key of Life all things are fated to destruction; Death and Entropy will claim all.
The book is not a perfect hero though. It also has personal desires, goals, and motivation. For example, it wishes that wizard had not used blood magic to change its name, and thereby its nature, to "AdvEnture's GUide to ADvENtuRing DUngEons in DRaGons". The book rather preferred back when it was THE NECRONOMICON. Things were so much simpler back when it was pure evil. When you're EVIL, you don't need to gather a party of spunky young heros on a quest to stop death and save the world. You don't NEED a HEROIC motivation and tragic backstory explaining why you want to cover the world in undeath, shatter Celestar, break the nation's of mankind, and kill God.
Still, thinks the book, it is not all bad. These Kobolds it has recruited as a Band of Plucky Adventures are kind of cute. Especially, Agate, Agate is the cutest.

Also, bonus points for understanding that Eldritch is not a synonym for Betentacled.
