The Hunter's Code

Oleg Sapphire was born in April 1993 in the city best known as "Little Paris." He's always been a good-natured banterer constantly in the thick of his fun-loving friends. This didn't prevent him from getting two degrees though, in law as well as in IT. He used his expertise in both areas to pen his LitRPG series. His hobbies are archery and reading, but the one pastime that really moves his soul is coin collecting, hunting for rare specimens with quite a bit of history behind them. Ever since childhood, he's been an artist at heart. His other passion is painting, and he's made his way through an inordinate amount of books. Oleg has been surrounded by pets from an early age, so animals take a large place in both his heart and in his books, much to his readers' joy. Writing is his life and his livelihood; he relates to every moment of his characters' journeys, sympathizing with them in both his heart and his mind.

Yuri Vinokuroff was born in 1976 in Sevastopol. An avid reader from an early age, he was especially fond of fantasy and science fiction. Already back then, he knew he wanted to write books rather than just read them. But as it often happens, all of his time and energy were consumed by his successful career, his family and his French Bulldog breeding kennel. His professional activities involved designing and constructing power plants and facilities, which couldn't be further removed from his teenage dream of writing fiction. Still, Yuri didn't give up. Eventually, he began writing for Facebook and even created a small challenge for himself, completing 100 posts in 100 days. It was there that he gained his first fans. During the 2020 lockdown, he used the opportunity to enter a major LitRPG competition. Although his novel didn't win, it still went viral, soon followed by the rest of the series.
