By: XKarnation

Narrated by: Marc Vietor

An action-packed new Isekai LitRPG Series from the bestselling author of Reborn as a Demonic Tree!

Power up and become an unbeatable final boss.

Damien Nightshade, a discarded royal masquerading as a Professor in one of the continent's greatest magic academies, is considered a mid-level boss—one fated to die in every playthrough.

Now, I have transmigrated into his body.

A game-like world has become my reality, and instead of being its hero, I'm cursed to die a pitiful death as a fated villain.

But why should I accept life as a third-rate villain when I can strive to become the unbeatable final boss?

The character is awesome

I’ve been looking for a good fantasy series like this for a long time one where the main character lies and bullshit their way through things similar to the return of the rune bound Professor series

A great listen

Likeable protagonist, great story that you cant predict where it is going and great narration. Now give me book 2. Like really.

I need 6 more of these, yesterday.

Keeping it short, narrator did fantastic, the characters are wonderfully written, and the story is intriguing and engaging. Cannot WAIT for the next one.

Great new series!

This was fantastic, I'm really looking forward to more in this series. Similar to Death, Loot and Vampires

This book is a surprise hit!

The writer really understands the depths of reality and the fact some situations are molded and freedom is from one’s own will. This is also the reason why they write books like these. The book draws you in wondering what will happen next. 5 stars on new run! bravo!
