Empire: An Apocalypse LitRPG

Elysium's Multiverse, Book 4

By: Ranyhin1

Narrated by: Jay Aaseng

When a new planet is up for grabs, a family will revolt and vampiric desires will stir, in the fourth installment of this epic apocalypse adventure series.

Millions of demons have taken notice of vampire warlock Riven Thane. Following his triumphant massacre at Daskus, victory over the cultists, and rescue of the succubus Fay, he's earned a fearsome reputation and a substantial rise on the power ladder. Now he's fostering a new empire and feeling invincible—or he would be if not for an unexpected snag in his own nefarious bloodline.

Riven's due inheritance is a high-grade planet called Lutseki, a prominent trading hub that manages transported goods throughout the Blood Moon Requiem. It's a goldmine: fifty million vampires and eleven billion enslaved, all of whom Riven and his sister, Allie, are destined to rule. But not if their distant, low-tier punk relatives have anything to say about it. Their aim is to sell off Lutseki as fast as they can to other nobles and make a fortune. Leave it to family to bring out Riven's bad side.

Meanwhile, others from faraway planets have injected themselves into the situation as well. Worst of all, Rippenvire—another faction of bloodthirsty vampires not bound to Riven's ancestral homeland—has its sights set on the Kingdom of Dawn and the budding civilizations surrounding it.

Things are heating up, and war is coming. But that's never stopped the Thane siblings before . . .

The fourth volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 900,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Really Bad relationship choices

Everything about the story except the athela and fae stuff was perfect. But the author made baffling decisions when writing their relationship. i went for liking them both to hating athela and fae... rivin is a spineless wishy washy idiot when it comes to love and what he did to fae wasnt cool. Now everytime i cringe at rivin and athela. it kind of ruins the book for me. i wish athela stayed died or the author gets rid of all the summons. Seriously hate athela and rivin. i seriously hope athela gets written off or takes a major backseat

It has some bumpy moments.

If you liked the books before this one then you will be happy. The biggest issue I have is how much this book focuses on relationships and got a bit too sexual for my tastes.

I like it but....

Overall, the world is amazing and the fights are awesome. A couple issues just irritated me.

SPOILER ALERT: A major plot point is that MC and his sister are long lost royals to vamp clan. So vamp clan decides to auction MC and his sister off in marriage to highest vamp noble bidder six months after they found out about long lost royals. MC and sister go nuclear when this occurs and predictable chaos ensues. it just seemed like a really stupid thing to do for an immortal race of vamps to do. Obviously, it wouldn't go well based on all prior actions that MC and sis took which everyone can see on system broadcasts. it was so predictable that it would go bad it was insane to think that an immortal queen in charge of a huge empire would make that decision.


The MC and his "demons" have the relationship of adolescent schizos and that is annoying and distracting from the best part story. It comes up way too.l much and each conversation they have is so dumb its mind numbing.

Additionally, the MCs sexual attraction to a spider demon and a blue horned chick with bat wings is f7cking gross and makes me gag everytime (which is way too often) it comes up.

Assuminh ine can get over the grossness of the MCs relationships, I "love" how both female demons express wanting to be friends agian and both want to date the MC together so they decide to have sex with each other which woman fighting over a guy totally do all of the time and is definitely a realistic outcome. Makes me wonder if the author has ever dated woman in real life.

Other then those small criticisms it a really great and compelling story. I will definitely pick up the next one.

Just keeps getting better!

This is a pretty bad *** series and it’s dark and brutal and real. None of the soft core fights that are out there! None harem which is a plus and the narrations is on point!! Can’t wait for the next book!!

I retract my previous statement

I would like to retract my previous statement in the fact of why and my low rating of the story. it's a fantastic story, always been a fantastic story. there is just one very specific part that pissed me off for about 5 minutes
