The Chosen One

A LitRPG NPC Adventure (Prophecy Approved Companion, Book 1)

By: Tevagah

Narrated by: Annie Ellicott, Gary Furlong, Jeff Hays

Qube was designed to die....

As the cheerful childhood NPC companion who helps the [Player] learn the world during the start of the game, it was only natural that the big bad would kill her at the end of the tutorial, kick-starting the [Player] on a quest for vengeance.

The only thing is, no one told her that.... And this particular [Player] doesn’t like to play by the rules. Being a chaos-loving gremlin, he glitches her out of her programming loop and drags her on various adventures. They'll grapple with friendly sharktopuses, evil emperors, and what it means to be a person.

On the way, they pick up equally unlikely party members, with Qube breaking the world in increasingly strange ways as she seeks to be the very best companion ever.

All the while, Qube herself slowly realizes that her reality is not quite what it seems....

Experience the start of a GameLit/LitRPG series about an NPC freed of its programming loop and brought along on a player's journey of adventure and power progression. A loving parody of old-school games, Dungeons and Dragons, and every player who has ever thought, “What happens if I do this?”

Another excellent performance from Soundbooth Theater

This audiobook is a most enjoyable experience to listen to.
The performance of all the cast members is on point.
The sound affects were tasteful and limited to just the moments where it would add substance without distracting the listener.
I feel the story is well written with believable characters that fit well in the setting.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

So Funny

I totally loved this book. I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time I was listening to it. It was just so amusing to listen to an intelligent game character trying to reason out why the world around her worked in such weird ways, and why the chosen one kept ignoring people while looting their homes. It was just too funny. I can't wait to continue with the next book. Qube is just too cute.

Yes.

At times, the constant disregard of setting was frustrating, but eventually I realized that was kinda the point, so it stopped bothering me.

Excellent LitRPG story told from the inside

Great narration.
Excellent story. Follow Cube as she struggles to keep the prophecy approved champion in line and keep him from poisoning himself (time after time).
See LitRPG from the prospective of a NPC.

interesting take on a lit RPG

slow to start, but interesting. really looking forward to the next book, I like all of the personal epilogs, as we see Quies " infection" spread. I think we should all treat sewer bard more carefully...he sounds like he's going to snap. 🫠

pockets

This story has pockets. 10 / 10 would store broom again. more words here

Amazing story, and incredible production quality!

Ever wonder what NPC's think about when they watch you roll instead of walk? how fast-travel looks from their perspective?

this is the story of an NPC trying to make sense of her world while following the Chosen One on his quest to defeat the Evil Emperor.

if she can get him to stop breaking the world.

it's an incredibly fun listen for anyone who ever said "that makes no sense!" when playing a badly coded game.

sequence breaks, glitches, stealing everything not nailed down.

one of the best stories to ever come over from royalroad.

Slow pace but worth it

This one is very much focused on watching characters grow and change over time. Their progress can be slow and frustrating at different points but I love the direction the book seems to be heading.

Squiggles is by far my favorite character and I look forward to seeing more of her as the series grows.

SSSL scenes and expressions are some of the most interesting, off-putting, and hilarious bits of narration I've ever encountered. Thank you so much for thinking of her.

Great

Very original take on the genre. Author kept the characters quirks in mind perfectly throughout and never missing an opportunity to work them in!

My favorite audiobook!

I loved listening to every second of this book! The author is so clever in how they reveal information about the world to the reader while leaving the other characters so confused by everything the Chosen One does. The narrators do a fantastic job, giving such life to the different characters and I am especially impressed by the sound effects (like Sewer Bard's guitar). I will be relistening to this book until the sequel is released!
