Welcome to Midgard

Contender Saga, Book 1

De: Dave Willmarth

Narrado por: Jessica Threet, Eric Jason Martin

A simple farm boy in a mundane medieval world turned soldier after his home and family were destroyed. Mere steps from achieving his vengeance after years of fighting, a lucky sword strike ends his life.

His soul is transferred against his will by one of the gods to another medieval world, one filled with magic, monsters, and races out of his childhood fairy tales. Our farm boy is now a Contender! Brought to Midgard to fight and kill other Contenders, to grow strong enough to ascend and become a Champion.

The magic is wondrous, and he's excited about becoming a mage. But he's had enough fighting and feels no obligation to kill for the unknown gods of Midgard. Instead, he seeks to grow stronger by completing quests and killing forest beasts and monsters. And he must get stronger, as everyone from his internal guide to the citizens he meets warns him that should other Contenders find him, they will try to kill him.

Narrated in duet style.

Excellent storyline and player development

A magic user that can swing a melee weapon! Love it… got hooked quickly and can’t wait for more PVP!

Pretty good. Looking forward to more

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The main character seems reasonable and likable but things do often fall in his lap more often than not. Still a good read despite this.

fantasy

loved it dave willmarth is great and one of the best authors I follow great job once again

Solid

For me I really enjoyed this. It wasn’t out of this world inventing something new. I appreciated that and it was a solid story of growing in strength and learning a new world. A+

Surprisingly Excellent

This is one of the better books I have listened to in quite a while. Very good litrpg. It is not too crunchy on the stats and the MC is likeable. The narration is very good.

This is well worth a credit.
