The Accidental Summoning

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Kos Play

Narrado por: Nathan Agin

Melvin Murphy is your average everyday teen...until he finds the System.

Melvin has normal problems. High school. Tests. Trying to find a girlfriend (and failing...miserably). But one day he awakens with access to a System that governs all magic.

In his attempt to summon a teacher to show him the ropes, he botches the ritual and accidentally summons a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae. Sure, she's powerful and deadly. A femme fatale who's more intimidating than even the most popular girls at school.

But she's far from a teacher. She's the same age as him and clueless about Earth. Can you say perfect team?

Don't miss the start of this lighthearted and often hilarious LitRPG series about how two kids from different worlds grow into their own while surviving things like classes, bullies, vampires, and worse.

Memorable First Book

I can tell that I liked this book because I didn't automatically forget the character's names when it was over. It was an enjoyable start to a series. Looking forward to the next one. I'm generally not a fan of protagonists that are younger. They tend to make mistakes that I think an adult would not. Melvin made some mistakes, but in context of the situations, they make sense, with one exception. And yes, I'm talking about the wanting to see monsters part.
Predictability is low in this book. I really did not know what would happen next, but I was happy with where the story went.
Most LitRPG books start off in kind of dumb ways to establish the system the protagonist has to work through. Some make you wait a long time to get started. This story gets started pretty quickly and keeps it interesting. I'd say that the establishment of the system is better than most.
One thing that surprised me was when I was about 65% through the story and my 12-yr old daughter got in the car while I was listening in my car. She got hooked in 5 minutes. That was a first. So, I had to finish the story with her, since she didn't want to miss anything after that.
Going to keep this short and not ruin the story. It's a good time.

"Methinks she doth protest too much"

This was funny and I enjoyed it a lot. A bit of repetition of character stats, but that is a curse of the genre.

I was given this audiobook for free and have voluntarily left this review.

Awesome Story

This is a great story that I greatly enjoyed, and would recommend to anyone that enjoys LitRPGs.

Something’s Not Right Here

Melvin was trying to follow the chain of command and report that he was being bullied. The teacher said he teaches and does not deal with student drama. So Melvin went to the counselor and he was told that he didn’t have any proof of the bully’s actions. Witnesses? No one was going to stand up to him. The principal was his last stop. But he ended up mouthing off, and asked him if he was doing his job protecting the students. The principal says he needs proof and the student has been a model student for four years. Melvin is new and has already gotten in trouble for talking back to his teachers.

Melvin loses his cool and says he was running away from Tim. The other time he was thrown in the trash can, the principal really doesn’t think he threw himself in there, does he? Melvin actually asks him “How stupid can you be?” He then was asked why he talked back to his teachers. He said, I can’t help it if you hire idiots. This all led him to be evaluated (again) and they said he is on the spectrum besides the already existing ADHD and Dyslexia. As he is sitting waiting for his mother to come pick him up just to afford the small apartment they had. The problem was that mom works two jobs, so as he waited he saw a floating yellow box just outside his view. When he focuses on it, it moves away.

Without moving my eye, I focused on it. He tried to latch on to it to get more information. It obeyed his mental command and it showed in his central vision now. Debuff: Grand Illusion - Block world magic, duration infinite. The receptionist thinks Melvin is acting crazy as he tries to engage the yellow icon. He then just tried willing it to go away. The menu said attempt to dispel debuff is successful and the yellow icon went away. Now when he looks at the receptionist, he can get certain information about her. He could see her name, her class, her affection and her level. When his mom picked him up, he checked her status. Then the next day, everyone was level 1. Why was that? When Melvin sees the librarian, he sees that she is level 2. How did she get to level 2? They talk and agree to share information as they learn about the system.

Please understand the main character is a teenager and this book is for YA. If you are okay with that, I think you will enjoy this book.
