The Afflicted #5 is up!
Book 5 of The Afflicted Is Out Now!
The explosive LitRPG series The Afflicted by Konstantin Zubov continues with the release of Book 5, raising the stakes higher than ever before.
What began as a strange and brutal System apocalypse—where orcs and elves poured through portals and humans turned into the afflicted—has grown into a full-scale, multi-world conflict. Over four books, readers have witnessed the rise of a new order: life energy as currency, global trials, interworld wars, starving survivors, and Earth itself transformed into a battlefield.
Now, in Book 5, the goal is finally clear.
The protagonist sets his sights on the original world—the source of the System itself. Unlike others who spent decades chasing answers, he plans to unravel the truth in a single month. Confident, relentless, and armed with the powers of a Keeper, he’s ready to push forward at full speed.
But the System has no intention of making things easy.
Moscow is rapidly turning into a militarized training zone, high-level threats loom on the horizon, and a mysterious slime is creeping out of the metro, hinting at dangers no one fully understands. As Earth and other worlds grow ever more entangled, the cost of failure has never been higher.
Book 5 of The Afflicted delivers intense action, escalating System mechanics, and the long-awaited move toward the heart of the mystery. The endgame is approaching—and survival alone is no longer enough.
The hunt for answers begins now.
