Thanks for all of the ideas! Some of you had excellent ideas for book titles, but they don't fit the theme of the current books. I tried to explain that each title describes Victor as an adjective or adjective phrase, but I don't think I was clear. Think of it like this: the title needs to be able to fit at the end of the following sentence: Victor is a _______. I.e., Victor is a Pit Fighter. Victor is a Dungeon Delver. Victor is a Spirit Hunter. Victor is a Titan Blood. You get the idea.

After carefully considering all the ideas and the insightful discussion, I've selected a few titles that resonated with me, along with a couple of my own. Here they are:

1. Some of you suggested "world traveler" or "traveler," and I had been toying with the idea of "World Walker," which some of you seemed to like.

2. Another idea was to change book eight's title and call book seven "Sojourner." I like this idea because he IS sojourning in this novel and also, he comes to the city of Sojourn. Still, I like it better for book eight because the entirety of that book will take place in Sojourn. (unless something goes wonky with my outline - definitely possible.)

3. A lot of you had similar ideas to one of my own: Destroyer. I'm leaning heavily toward this one because the first arc has Victor destroying some "tanks," and the final arc has him pretty much destroying the competition AND the dungeon in the challenge. I mean, I'm not gonna lie; it also reminds me of Conan the Barbarian . . .

4. I saw another idea that fits for the same reason as Destroyer - Earthshaker.

There were some other good ideas involving many other themes like "nexus" or "diplomacy," but while they fit the plot well, they just don't sound like Victor to me.

Now, let's move forward with a poll. I want to assure you that your opinions matter and will influence my decision. However, I can't promise that I'll go with the poll winner. Ultimately, I'll choose the title that feels the most right for the book. Your feedback is invaluable, and I'm grateful for your participation in this process.
