Resumen del Editor

In the latter half of the 21st century, Alexander and his guild mates play Io Online for fun and to earn a living. It's the largest VRMMORPG on the planet, and the source of income that supports families around the globe. While completing a rare First Kill dungeon in hopes of epic loot, they discover that demons have once again invaded Io.

Given the chance to test a new experimental immersion system, the veteran players must give up their high-level characters and begin again at level one. As they work through the noob zone quests, they discover that the new immersion system allows them to play in ways that hadn't been possible before. Casting is faster. Movement more fluid. Even magic itself behaves differently. They quickly run afoul of a party of player killers and become the targets of an entire PK guild bent on spawn-camping them until they leave the game. War has been declared.

The fight expands into populated areas, where innocent citizens are murdered, and player accounts are terminated. The guild works to help citizens rebuild what has been destroyed, but are repeatedly forced to stop and defend against enemy attacks. After the gods of Io and a powerful being of darkness get involved, Alexander and his friends learn the hard way that their in-game actions have consequences, both in the game and in the real world.

Love this series

Glad this book got a audio version it's a great story an hoping the put the next 2 out soon .

best little ever

this book is well made and the narrative is perfection little lovers will love this book .

Book 2 will start with a bang!

the story is great I really enjoyed how everything was presented the flow the character development and I found myself looking into the plot of the characters and the world more than so the aspect of the villains inside this actual litrpg.

Solid duo of voices on top of a good story.

The narration is the selling point of this story. Even though the story was truly enjoyable as well so that's quite a feat. I'll be listening to the next book immediately

The voices for each character is perfect.

I loved reading this book but I loved listening to it even more. It made it feel like I was watching movie but better as it wasn't abridged. I am so glad of the way they handled the romance. You need to read the details about a story before you expect something you won't be getting. I am shocked more people don't complain that romance novels don't have more in it then just romance. But then they complain if something isn't labeled as romance, well, doesn't have it. So shocking. Isn't it. I could read and listen to this over and over again and can't wait for more from this series.

One of the better LITRPG Books

I listen to LITRPG for a fun diversion. Unfortunately, the genre is filled with more misses than hits. This book, however, is well thought out and written.

If you are looking for a good diversion then this would be a good place to start.

great balance

lots of litrpg today rely on only the gaming part of the story. Dave does a great job making both the game world and the real world matter. Really enjoyed this one.

A+

Fantastic story with perfect narration, this book hooked me in right from the very beginning!

Epic Loot right here

the narrator's were awesome. The series is wonderful. Funny, tear jerky and the only thing I can complain about is there's only five books there really needs to be more to explain some of the left out parts. I really want more books from the series.

Good read...

i really enjoyed this book just like all the others i have read by Dave willmarth. i cant wait to read the next one.
