Publisher's summary

Unlikely hero Victor discovers the realm of Fanwath is even deadlier beneath the surface in the rollicking sequel to action-adventure fantasy Pit Fighter.

Suddenly transported to the land of Fanwath, Victor had a hard time adapting to a reality controlled by an omniscient “System” that rewarded strength, skill, and savagery with increased “Energy,” which was necessary if one wished to continue breathing. Then, after some truly surprising success as a gladiator-slave, the teenager ended up doomed to a life in the brutal mines along with a menagerie of fantastical beings possessing even worse luck than him.

But everything changes when Victor finds a way out—or rather, down. With the aid of a magical portal, he soon finds himself in a fabled subterranean dungeon-labyrinth, where his wits and combat prowess are the only things keeping him alive. OK, so he’s found a companion in the strangely alluring and witty Shadeni warrior-woman Thayla as well as an amulet housing a guiding spirit named Gorz. But even they won’t be able to help him now.

Because there are things lurking in the depths more deadly than Victor can possibly imagine. And if he ever does manage to escape the darkness, some very powerful—and vengeful—nobles will do anything to send him back underground. About six feet underground, to be precise . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 750,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

It was good

It was good and a good sequel to the first book in my opinion. Worth the read

solid

excellent continuation from book 1. looking forward to the next book when it arrives

I was hooked from chapter 1 book 1

Great story, I love the character development and overall storyline I recommend this to anyone.

Thank the Gods for no romance

Too many authors feel just because a Male and female character are together in battles that they have to instantly fall in love. I'm rather glad this writing crutch wasnt used here and the the characters can just be companions while adventuring. Not ever adventure story needs to turn into a romance story where most of the characters actions are driven by romantic feeling.


I do feel the MC made a super stupid choice and I hope it really comes back to bite him in the ass for still trying to push his own moral ideals on another culture.

Pretty good

I had bought the first one while it was on sale… And now I’ve been picking up all of them, I really like this series… The character is relatable

Great

I got this right after the first one and loved it, can’t wait for the next and hope victor can meet with some of his old captors for vengeance.

Good Story with Fun Progression

This had an excellent story and I really like the main character.

There is cultivation aspects of the novel with cores and skills. Its more focused on the story elements and character progression then actual cultivation.

Five star

I love this series. I can't wait for the next book. My only complaint would be that it isn't long enough.

Enjoyable

I think the listening audience will find this book enjoyable. The audience will also appreciate the writer's attempt to make the characters well-rounded, which some litrpg books sometimes lack. At any rate, this story is worth the credit.

Not Bad

I guess I have some complaints but overall I feel like the books is fairly good. The issue I have is that it feels like he always has the exact perfect challenge where he takes on something approximately 1.5 - 2x his own power and just narrowly edges out a win. I get that it comes somewhat with this genre of book but it just doesn't feel very natural. I guess in a sense I would rather see a larger gambit of things where he comes along some completely trivial things at time and at other times sees something horrifying that he narrowly hides / runs from rather than everything just being in that perfect outclass him but through using every single freaking tool in the bag he overcomes kind of situation. I know some of this comes with this genre but there are also other series that do a good job of making the MC run away / hide / really consider what and where to engage rather than just feeling like the MC scripted walks into the perfect fights. Technically he does run away from one fight in this book but with a lot of asterisks in that he maybe already proved that he maybe could have taken it. Its important to ask why there are varying threat levels of individuals and monsters in different areas of the world and ask how the MC has a progression that isn't just getting stepped on by a lvl 10,000 giant in chapter 2.

One other small note of dislike I had but the book ends very suddenly at the end of a conflict. Personally my own taste is to wrap up the conflict and do some slown down of final gains, congratulations, partying and such. It just feels like it ended very abruptly and I think another chapter after the final conflict with some wind down would have been good.
