Monsters will spawn, heroes will level and nations will fall.

Chaos will Awaken!

From the mind of Aleron Kong, the Father of American LitRPG, comes his tenth book!

Experience a brand new magical system combining LitRPG leveling and Wuxia cultivation in a seamless world that always pushes the characters you love and hate to the edges of the universe and their sanity.

Dear Listener,

What is the best part of being an author?
"Becoming an author has been an insane ride. When I was working 130+ hours a week as a resident, it never occurred to me that I would ever devote myself to anything other than medicine. However, expressing my creativity while connecting with amazing people around the world has turned out to be the greatest joy of my life. I find resonance in breathing life into characters, so much so that they begin to feel like real people to me. When I wrote my first book, I never expected anyone to ever read it. To my surprise and delight, through my writing, I have found a meaning in my own life and a connection to so many wonderful men and women around the world. I'm the luckiest guy I know. "– Aleron Kong, writer of Alpha

Another great series

Like the other two series before Aleron did a great job! Humor, epic battles, and how he tied it to the universe was top tier!

Good start

Good start to a series. Interested to see where it goes. There does need to be more compelling characters added aside from the mc

Guess who’s back!!!

In very AK fashion you have amazing world building, system building, a chaotic story line filled with witty commentary and much too graphic details, and everything else we have come to enjoy about AK’s books. All around a great book and I cannot wait for book two. I know plenty of people are upset AK hasn’t written a book in hot minute but I can honestly say reading this was like a breath of fresh air. Great to see him back.

Another World in a Growing Labrynth

Always great to read his books, the universe he has made is fun, funny, and full of excitement. This new chapter continues to expand the understanding of the greater universe and add depth to the storylines. Can’t wait for the next one!

World Building

Hopefully this series pans out. This book was a massive amount of world building. It was fun, but at times slow for me. If your bored easily, wait for more of the series to release so you can just keep going.

Why sound effects? Also where is the story?

So it starts out okay but the whole book is like only a few days in the story. It drags on for ever and the main antagonist is so over the top it’s like a joke. The Mc also is supposed to be some bad ass dude but like you spend more time hearing about it rather than actually listening to anything. Almost nothing happens. So much fluff and nonsense but almost no substance. Also overpowered broken levels that makes no sense as nothing is explained and the MC spends the whole book basically clueless and we get all these little details but nothing is fully explained. This could have been like the first 3 chapters.


Narrator is one of my favorites but for the love of hod stop putting sound effects in an audio book. I don’t need to hear a super loud bell that rings in my ear or a loud clang that goes off in my ear. Keep it narrated and lose the sound effects
