About this listen
Some men are born heroes. Others have heroism thrust upon them?
Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved.
That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair.
Getting used to a new world is tough. It's even tougher when you're surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a jaded System that doesn't appear interested in being charged with yet another companion.
Danny must adapt fast, turn on the charm, and learn to accept his given Class if he hopes to master it and survive this dangerous new place.
But he has a knack for finding trouble. Gifted what seems like an innocent ancient lute after making a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of mysterious factions who seek to claim its power.
It's up to him, Screenie, and his new barbaric friend, Curr, to uncover the truth and become the heroes nobody knew they needed. And maybe, just maybe, Danny will finally find a place where he belongs. Perhaps, even where he'll thrive.
Jump into this fantasy isekai LitRPG Adventure filled with unforgettable characters, loveable companions, unlikely heroes, slow-build power, progression, and plenty of comedy. It's perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Scott Meyer's Off to be the Hero, and This Trilogy is Broken!
Come for the Adventure, stay for the Laughs!

A Solid Bards Tale
It took a while to pick up but came to a satisfactory ending.
I am a sucker for fish out of water fantasy books and this scratched that itch. I liked the interactive menu/hud dynamic as it lended itself to some comedic moments.

Truly a masterpiece
Wow. This is so good.
I'm not usually a huge fan of the "cinematic audio" type books, but HOLY SMOKES this book is done so well.
This is truly a master class in how Bard stories should be done. They went so far as to create unique melodies and lyrics for a lot of the bards songs, and WOW is all I can say. Being able to hear the song playing during events in the book is truly amazing and immersive.
Obviously Jeff Hays is stellar as always.
The story itself? Solid. The characters are awesome, the humour is on point. The plot is intense and the world is intriguing.
