Born Different

A Monster Evolution LitRPG

By: V. Nator

Narrated by: Tess Irondale

Deep within the caverns of a secluded dungeon, a spider with impossible intelligence evolves far beyond the laws of nature, in this fantasy adventure.

Hatched from an egg along with their many brethren, a singular arachnid is driven by a survival instinct to hunt and feed. Unlike their siblings, they remain cautious and observant, aware of the dangers that lurk in the dungeon they call home. They watch as larger and more powerful beasts prey on other reckless, foolish spiders, developing a sense of self-preservation and a cunning intelligence they alone seem to possess.

Now identifying as Click, the spider has matured, discovering they are capable of an array of amazing abilities . . . of both body and mind. They can spin and launch webs, not only to catch prey but to sense the vibrations of those who stray onto their silken strands. Influencing the colony with their hunting strategies, Click can command other spiders to do their bidding, forging an army capable of attacking—and killing—even the most dangerous of the dungeon's predators.

But the monsters roaming the dungeon are not Click's most dangerous enemies. An Alpha Hunter Spider rivals Click for dominance over their brethren, spreading chaos throughout the colony. And a group of beings Click has never encountered before raid the dungeon, disturbing the natural order. They wield objects and conjure incredible energy in their quest to acquire strange treasures, slaughtering all in their path.

These invaders are called "humans," and Click must lead the spiders in a merciless war against them in order to defend their home and ensure the very survival of their colony . . .

a surprisingly good start

It's a rather pleasant story from mostly the perspective of a dungeon spider and some of the adventurers.

Welldone!

good narration and we'll write. doesn't waste time with fluf or manufactured drama. knows what it's about and gets things moving right away. really looking forward to the next book.

A nice light read about dungeon Monsters point of view

This is a nice light read From the dungeon, monsters point of view Great potential for a good series and a great Cast with the main character and the possibility of interaction between the monsters and the humans in the next book

Well worth listening

This book handles a spider gaining human level intelligence very well, it is also well paced and I feel as though if it were made longer it would only be watered down this book was written to be enjoyed in a sprint not a marathon and accomplishes that spectacularly. I hope to see more from this author and this to be continued as a series as I have been left wanting more.

I Liked it.

I liked this story a lot. I’m a big fan of monster MCs in litrpg stories, especially when they don’t act like humans.

The only thing I am irritated about is the fact it’s so short. I hope there’s another book in this series coming out, and that it’s longer. If not ima just be forever resentful of this great book that ended to soon.
