Growth: An Isekai LitRPG

Taming Destiny, Book 2

By: S. L. Winter

Narrated by: Kevin Kemp

A man must determine who he wants to be as he faces new threats and battles prehistoric killing machines in the second book of this gripping portal fantasy.

Ever since Markus Wolfe transmigrated to a lizard-eat-lizard world in which nature has reverted to an almost Jurassic-level wilderness, he's been uncertain of his patron Nicholas's ultimate goal—but he has learned how to increase his skills and outlast the man-shredding beasts that cross his path.

Things get personal when Kalanthia, Markus's leopard companion—known as the Great Predator to her enemies—is attacked, and her precious cub, Lathani, is captured during the struggle. Having already overcome so many odds, Markus isn't prepared to let his luck run out just yet.

Now he's on a new quest to find Lathani alive, and he's determined to make sure the odds remain in his favor. Accompanied by Bastet, his raptorcat ally, Markus embarks toward perils unknown with one pressing question: Who—or what—in this uncivilized world could be crazy enough to get on Kalanthia's bad side?

Tracking Lathani, they find the chilling answer in a desperate and dodgy village of lizard folk who've been driven to the brink by a fast-encroaching forest of sentient killer trees. As Markus faces this unexpected threat and the darkness that lies ahead of him, he realizes this journey into the treacherous valley isn't merely a survival mission but one of self-discovery—and it might just reveal who he truly is . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Character variety

It’s just good fantasy story sometimes pacing can be tedious, but in return you get a very vivid picture of what is going on it’s like watching a movie in your head. The character growth and relations between Marcus and his bound are very interesting to watch develop and expand.
