Elevation of Mana: A Progression Fantasy

Elevation of Mana, Book 1

By: Wandering Agent

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

When a college student takes a shortcut through the woods, he discovers a strange new world, in this Melody of Mana prequel series.

Heading home after a long day of classes, tech student Justin takes a little-used path through the woods. But when he stumbles unexpectedly, he rolls downhill and into the challenge of a lifetime. Faced with exotic, glowing plants he's never seen before and a luminescent pool of crystal-blue water that exerts a frightening pull over him, he's literally reborn in a rough, raw landscape—in a time before history began . . .

Reduced to a helpless child but somehow retaining his adult memories, Elian—as he's now known—must come to know the family that has claimed him, all the while learning a strange new language and the culture of this foreign land, where he must survive until he can attempt to return home. But most importantly, he must master the light that surrounds him, an exhilarating magic called mana that will shape his future, if he'll only grow up.

Through concentrated apprenticeship and some calamitous mistakes, Elian will finally become a young man again. And just in time to help his people face a dangerous force that threatens their small kingdom.

The first volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with almost 300,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

less structured litrpg

while I think my favorite part of this experience is it's stone age development. I also absolutely adore the less structured magic system that still seems to obey common laws. I would and will recommend this series and it's sister series to all I encounter. Thank you for more loveable works.

Good start

Pretty decent. I will likely get the next, but I’m thinking it’s going to be constantly new characters.

Definitely worth the credit

I am a fan of the Melody of Magic series and because we met future Justin in it and he was kind of a depressed deadbeat I was not sure about this book. With that said it was good, and as I said in the title definitely worth the credit.

An interesting story

This was a nice listen. I like the narrator and he doesn't detract from the story. I only have a problem with the last 20-30% of the book. The whole boy/man mentality comes out weird and odd times. Dude should know how to argue using logic or at least get people to understand his viewpoint. I look forward to the next book!

Very fun listen

Good story about a guy from our world waking up as someone else in a new world and bringing our tech to it. Highly recommend you pick it up.
