Publisher's summary

A Livestreamed Dungeon Crawl LitRPG

What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat?

The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet, along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy.

A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions.

Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.

And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize.

You don’t know?

Well, it’s actually pretty simple.

You survive.

Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System.

Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive?

About the series: Join Wolf as he is forced to join a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

Absolutely Loved it

This is such a great start to a book series. I cannot wait for the next book

thanks for the chaps

thanks for the chapters Mr Shane Purdy it's very good and narrator is very good too

Awesome story

Really loved the story, and I'm looking forward to the next. It was a great start for a young author, and he will only improve on his work I'm sure.

Decent start

I will be looking into this series now. Glad I took the chance with it

good book

this is a good book for people looking for books to fellin time for other book releases.

An excellent and enjoyable start to a series

Excellent start, can't wait for the next book. Also the mc having ice abilities is relatively fresh for similar audiobooks.

worth listening to

Like it ok it's simular to some litrpg books already out but descent story line. it's a little over written and too descriptive for the first few chapters but after a while it flows better. I believe it will be a good series to follow.

Good first story

I have read a lot of Shane Purdy's books now, and its pretty obvious that this was his first. That said its better than I have read from a lot of other authors, and I really hope Shane continues to post audiobooks. This series in particular shows off that growth and very quickly it has grown to something I look forward to each new release.

If you liked this book, I do recommend looking for "Wolf of the Blood Moon" and the "Reapers Resurgence" on kindle unlimited as both of those are absolutely fantastic... hopefully we see audio versions at some point.

I kinda love how the mc leans into the edge lord

Pretty solid system apocalypse. Only real critique is that it spends too much time with the commentator people and not as much with his family. Narrator is good but has trouble with female voices. But differentiates characters well.

need book 2
