About this listen
Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.
But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper.
That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns.
Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.
Too bad, with magic comes responsibility and Ard needs to adapt quickly because he’s making more enemies than friends with his glib tongue. Thankfully, he’s got some help along the way.
Because he’ll need it. As the most powerful mage in the nation, he’s about to be thrown headfirst into the elite of the kingdom and a few jokes won’t stop a sword.

Story
When Josh Underwood is thrown through a wormhole and lands on an unfamiliar world, he is immediately attacked by flesh-eating worms and snarling wolves. He has one huge advantage. A ring sits on his finger, but it's no ordinary ring. It's alien tech designed to improve its host’s strength, speed, agility, durability and combat instinct. Not all boons are infinitely wondrous. This tech has to understand what Josh needs for it to evolve, and time is of the essence.

Magic powers? His own mech? A whole airship of gorgeous women desperate for his genes? Yes, please! Paralyzed by a drunk driver, let go from his job, and stuck in a sad, stagnant town in the middle of nowhere, Joseph Locke was having the worst day of his life. And then he died. But considering that he wakes up with a brand new body, in the cockpit of a badass steampunk robot, on an airship of nothing but hot babes, his next life may not be all that bad. Especially when he learns that he’s a void mage—the rarest and most powerful of all mages on the world of Haven.

Humanity stands at the brink of extinction. Earth has been bombarded by forces beyond our understanding. In the aftermath, monsters roam the Earth while humanity is forced into a few small safe zones, but not all is lost. When the shadows fell, so too did hope. Progentitor rays birthed a new breed of humans, known as supers. Now those few are all that stands between mankind and death upon the claws and fangs of monsters.

Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams. However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems. So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

He wakes up to a totaled car and a broken leg, facing down a goblin trying to spear him through the guts. And that's just the start of it. But to Zane’s surprise, he finds himself enjoying this brutal new world. While others cower and hide, he goes on the hunt. He unlocks a unique Berserker skill—the more damage he takes, the stronger he gets.

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later. Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

A wonderful escape and a lot of fun !
Ard's Oath is the 2nd series I chose from Bruce Sentar and was very pleased to see that it grabbed me as quickly as the Dungeon Diving series did. I had first thought this author might be all cover and no substance, but have been proven very wrong in that initial impression. I have found the stories to very well thought out. They are not the deep fantasy of some that are out there, but the world's are each unique in the way they are concepted, it takes no time to care about the characters and the perils they face. I found this series as addicting as the Dungeon Diving and have now started Dragon Justice as well. Chris Boucher's take on Ard seemed very much to be like Jim Carrey at first and took a while him to grow on me, but he did. Ard is a character that uses humor to deal with his nervousness. The Ladies that surround Ard are all unique and strong, which I like...I do like strong female characters and Ard has that in abundance. Bruce writes with a flare for humor. I find myself laughing out loud quite frequently at the wit in the dialogue that he gives his characters in his stories. Definitely a series you will enjoy and looking very forward to new books being added to this series.

Definitely not his best work (personal opinion)
Been a fan of Bruce for a while now and have read most of his other series. All of which have their own strengths and weaknesses but this one has mostly weaknesses.
Voice acting was great zero complaints there.
The story just fell off for me, some of the other comments here are overly harsh in my own opinion as well. But, one of my main criticisms is the forced injection of comedy that completely ruined the climax for me and the build up to get to the climax had terrible pacing. Thus leading it to feel disjointed. As for the rest of the book, the story line idea is great like all of Bruce Sentar’s books however the execution is poorly done.
The characters make many leaps in logic on a whim and appear educated in subjects they wouldn’t have been familiar with prior to the circumstances they reveal the information in.
World building is extremely limited, I understand the build the world as the characters experience it but as of right now (having finished the book) I can tell you barely anything about the setting of the book beyond fantasy kingdom and how the power levels of mages work.
Overall, story was disjointed and lacked world building, add that too a climax that was ruined before it started and it was very disappointing. I recommend one of his other series. I am undecided on if I will get the next in this series or not. I want to hope that it gets better but I am worried it won’t.

boring.
honestly I found this very boring the magic was kind of interesting it not very limited. but the mc is an insufferable smart ass that for some reason wins everyone's affection because of it. and a harem of hot powerful women because he's annoying? I dunno it felt like an isekai harem but the dude was born in the world. so somehow his farmer boy charm works in cities?
I think in the last chapter it showed it best. he talks about seeing horrors and having nightmares for a long time but nothing anywhere else suggests any of that. he just killed people and dealt with monsters and such without a second thought.
