Publisher's summary

When Earth gets integrated into the vast expanse of a new multiverse, one young man is game to survive—it's in his blood—in this apocalyptic adventure.

Everyone becomes prey when Earth is swallowed up and transmuted to a bestial landscape, the first stage of induction into Elysium's multiverse and a new galaxy in the making. In the blink of any eye, the bloodthirsty creatures of Riven Thane's worst nightmares are unleashed as he; his sister, Allie; and his friend Jose scramble amid the carnage to live another hour.

But on this nothing of a planet, Riven is more special than he knows. He's among a select few with a singular bloodline, and the Elysium system has its eye on Riven in particular. He's already proven his unbeatable will to survive. Now, untapped powers can be his should he succeed at what the multiverse has in store for him.

World be damned, let the games begin: challenging trials of stamina, labyrinthine mazes, and mind-bending puzzles requiring sharp wit and quick thinking. Each consecutive win will bring Riven nearer to an unimaginable undertaking . . . a personalized tutorial in the dungeons of hell itself. And it's just the beginning—Riven is about to unlock the secrets of his past and learn more about his purpose and the dark arts than he ever imagined.

Whatever unholy chaos awaits him back home, he's ready. Because as close to death as he may be, Riven has never felt more alive.

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

just ok

The whole thing was just ok. A good run time for the credit and narrator isn't bad.

Slow burn at the start 

Slow burn at the start of book gets better hints at world building with Guild Hall, all the way, at the end of the book like last 10 minutes kind of cliffhanger

enjoyed it alot

a pretty solid story from start to finish. no real complaints. can't wait for the next one

Grimdark… Enjoyed The story

I enjoyed the narrator’s talent in bringing life to the different characters. It is Grimdark, apocalyptic, a fight for survival in a multiverse system forced upon the main character.

Not so special… special MC

Classic hidden royalty story. Not a bad first book but story telling needs some polish especially with the character development

Actually pretty good

The princess spider is precious and the narrator did great with her voice. I like how cruel the story line is, I’m a dark kinda guy. But I didn’t like the back and forth on morality, other than that, I enjoyed it.

So good can’t wait for what’s next

This is the type of books I love to listen to, the MC isn’t all about saving and helping/ trusting everyone he comes across. Thinks about his actions before he goes and fights a lvl 45 monster just because someone needs help, but will die for team of friends/family and thinks about end goal rather then running head first into danger. The spiders voice is horrible and should be redone just super annoying I skip pass all of there conversations.

Mc is a pussy

Hopefully in the next books he isn’t so dramatic about losing stuff that respawns and so attached to weaklings. It’s honestly pathetic for what he is and makes the story a slog to get through

Really good read!!

Not sure if this is this author’s first published work or not as I couldn’t really find anything else them. but I took a chance on it anyways, and was not disappointed! It’s a solid litRPG without a lot of the played out tropes that plagues this genre. I’m excited to read more from this author!

Dark but good

I think its the first time ive had a book with some demonic dark alignment that bing sayed its pretty good.
