Destiny’s Champions

Sigma Worlds, Book 1

De: D. Levesque

Narrado por: Michael David Axtell

Jason Morgan's life has taken a turn for the worse.

Once an able-bodied man, he is now confined to a wheelchair after a devastating car accident. Two experimental surgeries later, he still cannot walk. As a ward of the State, he longs for the freedom he once had and the ability to walk again.

Enter Games For Life, a gaming company that has developed a massive VRMMORPG system. With their groundbreaking pod technology, Jason is invited to test the system and explore the vast world of Destiny: a place where time and reality are not what they seem, and anything is possible.

At first, Jason is skeptical, but when he discovers he can walk again in the game, he is overjoyed. He starts to spend more and more time in the virtual world, making friends and building relationships he never thought possible.

However, as he delves deeper into the game, he begins to realize that there is more to it than he first thought. The fine print on the contract he signed becomes more important, and he discovers that he may be in over his head.

Adventure waits for no one, and Jason finds himself embroiled in a battle to save the game from a dangerous threat. With the help of his newfound friends, he must face down foes and solve puzzles to save not just the game but the world outside of it.

In the end, Jason discovers that Destiny is not just a game but a way of life. He learns to appreciate the people in his real life and the new ones he met in the virtual world.

A tale of loss, friendship, and adventure, Destiny's Champions is a thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Hang in there, 2nd book is much better!

This 1st book is ok, MC is pretty whiney though. The last 10 mins of this book heading into the 2nd is where it really starts to pickup.

Remove OP for a good story!

To create a VR game that would be indistinguishable from RL. This is Dr. Phillip's dream. Sigma Worlds was the result. Jason’s lawyer, Michael argued for Jason to sign the contract with GFL International. Jason was disabled from an auto accident and allowed an opportunity to beta test a new VRMMORPG, including a five hundred thousand dollar yearly salary. Jason scored very high on their BAS, Brain Activity Sync, making Jason a pet project of Dr. Phillips. With the time desync between Sigma Worlds and Earth, Jason would be in Simga for ten years. Jason was on his way, entering the pod system, and joining the game. Jason Dragonheart, a hybrid dragon/summoner, enters the game. Jason was contacted by the gods of Sigma, again due to his high BAS score, granting him boons right from the beginning, pushing him to level ten before he could assign any points. OP from the start, but he is Dr. Phillip's pet adventurer. Jason’s first quest is from the gods themselves. Save the sentient AI beings by allowing them to coexist with Earth peacefully. Not too outrageous, eh? With Jason’s prior Earth knowledge he had several times gone outside the game mechanics to create new options, skills, equipment, and supplies, granting him additional benefits. The “assistant”, Diana assigned to him by the gods gives him even more benefits. The amplified “overpoweredness” of his build by the time he gets out of training is ludicrous. As the story continues, Jason acquires master-level companions; Rasha, Rena, Jasmine, Tatania, and Meisha who bond themselves to him. In the conclusion, he was a Demi-god with sixty-three points unassigned. Jason’s rationalization of this situation is that he came to Sigma to relax and enjoy life, contrary to his life on Earth, not grind and struggle to level up. Jason was confused about his relationships with women on Sigma; he would not act this way with women on Earth. Fear not, Jason, you are acting normal, if not naive at times. It’s the women that are more open and honest; quite different than women on Earth. I truly like the story, the characters, and the narrator very much, but it is hard to abide by the OP situation of the main character. This concept by some authors leaves no competition, no risk. The game would never survive pre-release reviews.

very slow start

starts so slowly it was annoying and the Mc starts as an idiot but as I was about to give up the story truly started and now I'm hooked can't wait to start the next book

It was like listening to an anime.

1st off.. I devour WAY TO MANY audiobooks! They are great while I'm working, driving, and so many other activities. I also absolutely love Isekai! I've really enjoyed the light novels of some of my favorite animes (translated of course). So this was right up my alley. The only downside to it is (the same complaint I have with most the litRPGs on here) that it's so short. Instead of only selling 2 books... they can charge us so much more by dividing them into 6. Audiobooks are NOT a cheap addiction.

But anyway... It grabbed me right from the start. I didn't want to stop listening. Yes; the mc is the typical anime op naive mc. But that's just part of the genera. I enjoy that it's a harem... without it being Hentai (I'm not here to listen to a porno). The world is interesting; as is the characters. I look forward to see both developed as the story progresses.

I enjoyed it enough that (even though I have moved on to another book in the Plus Catalog) I'm still considering buying the 3 extra credits (twice) so I can have the complete series. I'm not considering dropping over $70 on any series unless I really like it; and can see me coming back to it numerous times in the future.

It's not on the same level with Ready Player One; and that's why I can't give it 5 stars. But it's Isekai! And a dang good one too. I enjoyed the twist at the end. I actually did not see that coming. Which was kind of concerning; as I was enjoying this specific world's development. But it's cool because it opened up such a wide variety of possibilities. I think that's vague enough to not count as a "spoiler".

It was ok

It was a bit boring the main character was too easily surprised or confused and this happens a lot wish he was a bit smarter.

Enjoyable listen

It’s different but that’s not a bad thing. Can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Awesome feel good story

I really enjoyed this story. Gave it a chance because it was free via my membership level. So glad I did, really enjoyed this book. One of those nice feel good plots and a nice setup for more books. Anxious to start on the next books in the series.

A fun new style in the LitRPG genre

Before buying this book, I read some of the bad reviews. But I went ahead anyways, and don't regret it.

No spoilers ahead, but I do like the concept of the RPG player who decides to play his own style. Avoids fighting monsters and just wants to build a life for himself quietly in the woods. That's new and different.

But it does seem that the game (and others) are suspiciously conspiring to help him. A lot of Deus ex Machina going on.

Will read the next book in the series to find out more.

A fantasy adventure

This was a good book, the narrator does a great job of changing his voice, so it's pretty easy to tell characters apart. It started to be a lot toward the end, a new female character practically every chapter, all worshipping the main character. That was a bit much,but the twist at the end kept me interested. I'll definitely be reading the 2nd book, just hope it will focus more on the game itself instead of all the stuff the character gets for being "the best".

In the picture he has armor?

5/5 it's so cool, to much kissing on the lips and he has robes not armor. geek alert.
