About this listen
The nonstop action and antics continue—and the hero-sidekick relationship is turned on its head—in the second installment of this thrilling fantasy series.
When quiet Orrin and his extroverted best friend, Daniel, were transported to a strange RPG-based world, not much changed between them. Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Only when they faced a particularly lethal foe did Orrin step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth—with powers he didn't know he had. Of course, Daniel got all the glory, but Orrin doesn't mind. He's just happy they're both still alive.
However, they are given little time to celebrate before a local authority offers them the chance to explore a newly revealed dungeon. They can hardly refuse, as the adventure would bring them within spitting distance of the woodland realm of the elves, which is currently enduring an attack by the neighboring country of Odrana. So Daniel and Orrin hope to get stronger conquering the dungeon and then lend a hand in the war.
And though he's not typical warrior material, Orrin has his own set of magical skills to bring to the quest. Skills he's surprised to learn shouldn't even exist. And for good reason: it seems his ever-growing abilities have the potential to elevate him far beyond his bestie the hero . . .
The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

homage to early RPGs
I listened to the first book and enjoyed everything about it. it pays homage to the 1990s RPGs (I'm looking at you final fantasy, tales of destiny, Lufia, chrono trigger etc) with some of the modern ideas of breaking the system - like all those speed runners out there. I find the early days of RPGs grindy and hard to invest time in these days so this brought back the spirit of those memories. My husband asked for a book to listen to on our last road trip because we had finished "how to defeat a demon lord in ten easy steps" and this was an insta click. he couldn't put it down! Originally I bought the first and second book to listen to Nick. He and Travis baldree are my two favorite narrators. Keep up the good work.

A good story
Good story so far but if you have the ability to forcw class changes nobody is a danger, you just change their class. Any gamer that has those powers would be way faster to use them, Oren isn’t much of a gamer.

Solid sequel that builds on the first
Warning: this book ends on a cliffhanger! You may want to wait to buy it until book 3 comes out.
That being said, I don't regret buying it. It's got more of the things I liked about the first - the progression of power, the slow, steady burn of relationships, the world building, and the plot slowly advancing. It is a slow book, which was an issue in the first book as well, but it's a solid book. If you liked the first, you'll like this one.

I tried
It’s just a massive letdown from the first book. I gave it a chance for about 8 hours but I’m dropping the series

All the characters have gotten dumber...
All three of the main characters keep making dumb decisions that mostly seem contrary to how they behaved in book 1. Both Orin and Maddie were clever and calculating with their actions and plans in book 1 but in book 2 Orin especially seems to be behaving almost completely thoughtlessly. Daniel persists in being a muscle bound idiot that just charges headfirst into any potential obstacles. I had a few points I struggled with in the first book but with the lack of improvement and a regression in behavior I will not be continuing this series.

Really good but stupid ending
The story was good and enjoyable but what I hate is when the author becomes creatively bankrupt and drops the story to the level of a fifth grader I don't know how it is possible to make the ending this bad. I almost couldn't believe it was written by the same author the ending was so bad. I enjoyed this book until the last chapter and they literally ruined the story up to that point it became so childish I'd swear it was written by a 5-year-old. Delay the book if you can't come up with something creative man what a disappointment.
