Conquer Dungeons. Slay Monsters. Become a Hero.

When Ozzy signs a five-year contract to work as an "NPC" Serf in Gadobhra, a new fantasy world intended to be a playground for the incredibly wealthy, he was just after a paycheck. He's given boring choices like working as a blacksmith, barkeep, or shepherd for all those years.... Or, He can find ways to take advantage of the System. He can break out and carve out a section of the world for himself as an adventurer. Compete to be the first to locate hidden dungeons, kill the biggest monsters, and gain renown across Gadobhra. Yeah, that sounds like way more fun.

Don't miss the start of this isekai LitRPG adventure by Walrus King, the bestselling author of Tunnel Rat. Crammed with stats, power progression, a fully-developed cast of characters, deep worldbuilding, and a healthy blend of action and humor, it's perfect for fans of Dakota Krout, Michael Chatfield, and RinoZ.

Fun read

I’ve read the authors other books with same narrator and same cheeky humor. Entertaining and worth the read.

Interesting idea

The book starts out a little slow for me. Maybe that is because we are following so many characters at the beginning. By being paid in a game to essentially be an NPC, we get some good world building. The characters are lacking interesting powers so it doesn’t seem like that fun of a game they have joined. The story was fun but slow. I enjoyed their journey. The MC did a good job.

Complex story with well defined characters and good quality humor.

Loved the story on RR and enjoyed the audiobook just as much. There seem to be some places where COR is for some reason spelled Courage instead of Corruption but overall an excellent performance.

One of the best book I’ve listened to

When I first found this on Royal road back in like 2020 ish , I didn’t read it because it was a multi-pov and I wasn’t really in the mood for those back then so I just added it to my list. Now I’m not sure if that was blessing in disguise, when I finally got around to it, I was captivated by how well written and engaging it was. The character are alive and full of emotions. I read all of the 4 books , got the audiobook when it dropped and read ahead on Patreon

Fun story

I enjoyed how the varied characters interact with each other. It's fun to see the workers get stronger behind the boss's backs. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

great concept

I enjoyed the book slow build up a little silly definitely worth a credit. I am looking forward to the next one. (needs better editing)

Best MMORPG series out there.

The story starts with characters that are forced to start as NPCs, blocked from normal player skills, yet learn to break the system regardless.

Not what was looking for but enjoyable

I don’t think the cover art, title, or synopsis gives enough to what the story is about. It is more world and party building than a hero MC kind of story.

I will be back for the next entry.

great story

Love the story but hate the stats. would be better with skip to the next chapter edits.

This book has no right being so good!

This book has to be one of the best litrpgs I’ve read in a while. It’s rare for an author to be able to create more then one main character who has interesting stories that keep you engaged let alone 4.

Normally I don’t really like the video game stories but some how this one is done in such a way that really makes the conflict exciting. Overall, adding this to my top ten for sure!
