Path of the Forerunner

The System Arrives, Book 1

By: Terry Carter

Narrated by: Hannah Trusty, Brad Derry

One Tuesday changes everything for Robert Williams. A cosmic entity known as the System arrives, selecting him—a suburban father and engineer—as Earth's sole representative for integration. He has six months to say goodbye to his family before being exiled to another universe for over 400 years. Guided by an AI companion and gifted with powerful starting perks, Robert must navigate a new reality defined by levels, skills, magic, and dungeon crawls. From learning basic spells to crafting powerful artifacts and facing down monstrous foes, Robert races against time, not just for his own survival, but to prepare his loved ones and maybe even his planet for a future transformed by the System.

Very impressive

This was a very impressive book. It took a completely different approach to the system apocalypse story. I have found this approach to be very interesting and a nice twist on the story. I look forward to the next books in the series.

level building

Such a good story, with character and system and world development, I just wish it was longer.

amazing

Am a big Litrpg fan and this one hit all the notes.Just amazing can't wait for number two

Worth the credit

Takes a unique approach to being sent to another world didn’t think I’d like it but grew on me. Writer did great job

Needs work, should rewrite.

Meticulously and strategically.. so overused. Guy needs to study some real litrpg. No failures? Always perfect? Can’t create a fight scene to save their lives. Feels like a middle schooler wrote it. Feels like a first draft. You should really have some litrpg readers and writers proof read your stuff. But I like the premise and story. But you really need some work. Your no Kong or Wong.
