About this listen
One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a game that is as brutal as it is complex.
Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.
Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?
Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.
A world of powers, forces, and mysterious factions. A game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.
Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the game's challenges, the machinations of the powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.
The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!

Story
Zane was driving home from work when the world changed. Thousands of dungeons spawned at once, taking up every inch of Earth—including the road he’s driving on. 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.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

Better than most
This series is quite good in fact I would place it in my top 5 series along side series such as The Good Guys Series, Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter and more. The writing is clean and well put together, the series has a nice flow with very little filler or over explanations, the system is very interesting as well, and the world build and character development is superb. I highly recommend this series and hopefully this author continues to put out top quality work

Excellent overall
An absolute pleasure to listen to. Altogether a well rounded title. It fumbled slightly in the way it was written (in the first person) and had a few hiccups here and there in terms of delivery, but all the essentials for a great story were there. If I had to leave one suggestion for future listeners, listen to this title at X1.2 speed, as the narrator speaks a tad too slow for my liking, but it was excellent once I sped up the playback.

Top Quality Litrpg
There isn't much to say, Its refreshing to read a new Litrpg book that doesn't disappoint me. Its just a good quality book,
Things that I liked, so that this is actually a review and not just me tipping my hat (i dont wear a hat):
1. MC had realistic struggles. Take down a camp of gobs? well author meticulously breaks down how that happened, No magical rage powerup.
2. Obstacles for the Character meshed really nicely with the worldbuilding, and antagonists were not unrealistically motivated either. For example, Also, Author did not make all the bad guys Rapists. Any book that doesn't lean on this kind of thing gets an automatic bump in my favorability
3. I liked the system. Its not overly wordy, and it didnt have pages upon pages explaining it. You knew only as much as the character, and it leaves the feeling that there is lots more to uncover.
4. Its long. I listen to audiobooks while I work, and nothing is worse than paying a credit for a 6 hour audiobook.
Thanks for this, I hope you keep up writing this series, I am looking forward to where things are leading.

poor choices in the writing
The character is a bleeding heart idiot. Helping people who treat him like crap. I'm all for helping the innocent like the wolves but a groupe of players who push him around, call him a liar a dozen times and threaten to torture him is hardly worth helping. I cant stand the writing, if that groupe is supposed to be "the good guys" and they want his help at least write them to be slightly less insufferable. The way its written i cant help but think less of the main character for putting up with their bs and not leaving them to what they deserve. So often in fantasy it seems being the hero means letting people treat you like garbage and being too much of a push over to leave them to suffer the consequences of their actions.
