Secrets and Strife: An Isekai LitRPG

I'm Not the Hero, Book 2

By: SourpatchHero, Tommy Kerper

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

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!

other reviews are terrible opinions

This book was good. Clean narration as always Nick. Not GOAT status, but damn close to a 5 star objectively for the genre. Other consumers' subjective experiences, while technically valid, are doing this book, and it's potential audience, a disservice.

Boo I say to you, you weak minded chuckle-schmucks.

2nd book- good continuation

I really loved the story but hate cliffhangers. waited for the 2nd one and not disappointed. would listen again

I Need the next book ASAP

So many things happen in this installment, the character grow and learn lots of new things. Lots of epic battles and new skills learned. The story progression has a great pace but that cliffhanger. I’m enjoying the story and I need to know what happens.

Incredible story

Great series so far.
Can’t wait till the next book.
A must listen or read

Marty abusing the men

The violent nature. Of marry really ruins this for me. Bossy is ok but the abuse, smh. Other than that it’s a great story Daniel’s hero complex while being an actual hero is hilarious. O could shine so much more but he’s stuck in Daniel’s shadow.
