Publisher's summary

Ash led a very normal life by his own standards. It had its ups and downs, much like anyone else’s. Being a talented martial artist had definitely been an up, while high school as a whole was a down. His own father was not a great role model, and his uncle was everything he wanted to be.

To Ash, it felt like a very normal life. Right up until he was literally pulled into a portal that spat him out into another world. One that was full of martial arts. And martial artists who could use magic. To set the very air on fire with a punch or to turn their skin hard as diamonds. To fly through the air, if they had enough power. A world where the strong ruled and the weak died.

Three years of living his life as one of the citizens, those without power, and Ash has figured out how to survive with his adoptive family and a lot of persistence. His goals in life have become to give back to those who gave to him. And he’d do whatever he had to to do that.

Except Ash is about to get his life turned around again. Turned around and altered completely. He’s about to discover a treasure from a time long lost. Forgotten. A treasure that is going to change his destiny and give him another direction to go. If he wants it.

A cultivator.

This is a VeilVerse novel. Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

I've been a fan of William D Arand for a few years now and it seems his stories just get better and better. Definitely worth a listen if your a fan, and a solid place to start if your not

Phenomenal!

I can't say how good this is! VeilVerse is amazing. I listened to this book pretty much non-stop in a day. As always Andrea Parsneau is a wonderful narrator.

Please PLEASE continue this series.

I have every book William D Arand / Randi Darren has on audible, and I strongly like or love all of his books. However, this is " in my opinion" his best writing. The MC is a bad ass and the story is flat out awesome. The story is action packed and has so much potential for growth. PLEASE PLEASE don't let this be a one and done book. I understand the veil verse brings in other writers, but for my money WDA / RD has the best stories / writing style not only in this genre, but in stories in general.

Arand/Parsneau Combo FTW

Man this was a fun book. I loved most how the MC always harkened back to the ideology of Bruce Lee. The ideas of formless movement and flexible minds really shine throughout the entire book.

As we've come to expect with William Arand, the book was well written, well paced, clever, funny, and suitably epic. If you liked Super Sales, you'll enjoy this one every bit as much.

Last thing, Andrea Parsneau's narration is the definition of WORLD CLASS. Both her Male and female characters were rich, distinct, and well thought out. I simply cannot praise her enough for this performance.

10/10 will recommend to friends!
