About this listen
A Livestreamed Dungeon Crawl LitRPG
What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat?
The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet, along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy.
A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions.
Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.
And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize.
You don’t know?
Well, it’s actually pretty simple.
You survive.
Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System.
Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive?
About the series: Join Wolf as he is forced to join a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

Story
James Holden has reached the maximum level there is for a human. That's perfect, because he's the only one of his kind: a wandering warrior, without control of his destination, tossed between universes by gods who've failed to tell him why. James is the lone Judge on a new world in need of someone to balance the scales. He isn't afraid to do so with extreme prejudice. As the Chief Justice, he has to right the wrongs the innocent can't fix themselves.

Story
John, a vampire living for near six thousand years, has gone by many names in his life. Warrior, king, god. Such great age can also be a curse, as his mind has not kept up with the regeneration of his body, and he struggles to even remember his own name. That is until powerful beings called the ascended come to Earth and remove a shield blocking our solar system from the Tree of Life. John is healed, and his mind restored, and he is ready to learn this new way of gaining power, this self-cultivation, and defend his world. But he's no longer the apex predator.

In the land of Malgar, where the essence of balance once weaved through the very fabric of life, shadow casters—masters of the arcane, summoning creatures and weapons born of shadow—long stood as vanguards of harmony. But when fear sparked a purge that intended to extinguish their ancient art, the world teetered on the brink of chaos. But turmoil brought forth reform and rising from the ashes of distrust, three young casting trainees, Kaito, Sumi, and Nigel, emerge as beacons of hope within the reinstated Legion of Shadow Casters.

Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content.

Possibly it's not to save a pair of drowning girls, not go 'viral' on social media and certainly not to let the local police take your passport, trapping you on a small 'party' island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

Like it ok it's simular to some litrpg books already out but descent story line. it's a little over written and too descriptive for the first few chapters but after a while it flows better. I believe it will be a good series to follow.

need book 2
About the series: Join Wolf as he is forced to join a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

Interesting storyline, somewhat unique
I like how there was not a huge build up to the main story line, but enough to give some context of the character. A bit all over the place in the story, but I will be interested to see where the author takes the story next.
Narator is great!
