Goblin Gigs

Dungeon Dasher, Book 1

By: Daniel Kensington

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Aurora Bliss

From rideshare to another realm, I wound up with a haunted manor, a portal to Arctara, and a goblin with zero chill.

Alex Mercer was a rideshare driver, dodging drunks and hauling tacos, until his uncle’s death gifted him Mercer Manor—and a portal to Arctara, a land of monsters and magic. Trading delivery runs for low-stakes gigs, Alex aims to grind gold safely and ignore the fancy quests. With MMA skills, a snarky archer best friend sparking chemistry, and a fierce goblin ally with bold intentions, he’s set to tackle the little jobs, from bandits to bar fights, despite the Arctaran System throwing quests in his face.

But Arctara breeds chaos. As the gigs escalate, Alex’s “easy” tasks turn deadly, dragging him into a world of traps and secrets. With quirky companions piling up and stats he’d rather ignore, Alex must hustle to survive.

Goblin Gigs—Dungeon Dasher: Book 1 is a hilarious, action-packed isekai where a gig-economy hero grinds his way to glory.

Amazing narration

Outstanding start to a series! Can’t wait for the next one already. Plenty of humor and excellent narration from both VAs!

good fun adventure but wish it was longer.

good story and was happy to snag it. wish it was a bit longer but hopefully more of the books come out for this series.

Amazing start to new series

Really good start to the series. Started a bit slow but picked up later. Narrators did amazing as always and I was hooked can’t wait for the next book.

A bit short

Did a good job not making the being jailed or captured take to long to resolve.

Not a fan of gimping Heather with the wrong class right from the get go. hopefully it works out for her or she can change it.

Fun start, looking forward to the next one

I was initially not too excited about the voice actors but they grew on me. It certainly had a slow burn start, but has lots of promise!
