About this listen
Most mortals would kill for the chance to live a life at court. To wade into the intrigue of noble life, uphold honor and defend your lineage and kingdom. Nero wasn't a mortal, though, and he'd endured millennia striving to fend of rivals in the vast emptiness of the Abyssal Plain. For the Ninth Prince of Eternis, such was his destiny.
That all changed when he stepped through the veil and took on a mortal body. His life in Terranus had been as exciting as he'd hoped, and it wasn't long before he accumulated wealth, earned respect, and married a beautiful wife named Aeris. Yet the adventuring life wore on his partner, and the couple retired to the frontier to live a simple life alongside their lover Cali.
Nero tried to be good, tried to avoid conflict and live peaceably. Some are born to sew chaos and create change, however. When exploring a nearby forest, he and his younger sister-in-law Angie discovered an ancient relic. Given a choice to delve into an unknown dungeon, both accepted the challenge and entered.
Little did they know, that decision would transform their world. Nero regretted nothing as he took his first steps in reclaiming a dark lord's kingdom.

Those who brave its challenges are rewarded with wealth, fame, and powerful classes that set them apart from the rest. Ken was determined to follow the footsteps of his family and become one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known.

I had lain down in my crypt to rest for a few decades, but when I awoke, centuries had passed. My castle is in ruins, my clan is gone, and necromancers are considered just a fairy tale for children. They take me for a healer. That's because the world is sick. And it's time for strong medicine.

Story
All of the incredibly powerful high mages died out centuries ago. Nobody expected one to return. I was just a simple blacksmith apprentice when a visit by the mages of Essalin confirmed what I’d long suspected—I could touch the aether. Destined to be a mage, I’m plucked from my village alongside a feisty redhead so we could journey to the fabled city of the high mages to learn how to control and wield the aether. The road there isn’t going to be easy though.

Story
Mason the survivalist was always preparing for the end of the world. He just didn’t expect a god-like AI to transform it into a damn video game. Now he has to pick a ‘class’, survive a ‘tutorial’ (filled with monstrous creatures trying to murder him), and somehow find his brother Blake before the idiot gets himself killed. OK. Blake’s no idiot. He’s a charming, incredibly lucky, ambitious world-beater. But he was destined for corporate boardrooms, not monster filled forests, and Mason knows he needs to reach him before it’s too late.

As a C-Tier Lifeblade, Ethan keeps his head down, works hard, and always hits his mark. His skills might not be flashy, but they get the job done—and in SlayerCorp's cutthroat portal acquisitions industry, reliability makes you valuable. He’s built a solid rep as the go-to healer who can hold his own in any situation, with a resume that's earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. But Ethan's biggest challenge isn’t in the dungeons he clears or the creatures he fights. It’s Lily Chen.

I was a Hunter, and I honored the Code. For my services to humanity and for leading a "proper" life, I was to be rewarded. A new life after death, and a new world to give me some well-deserved rest. But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is.

The Krysfelt Academy for Girls is the most prestigious academy in the Magocracy, and it’s about to get its first male student… Like most guys, I never expected to see the inside of that fabled place. But when I’m assigned the Enchanter class—previously reserved for girls—an invitation to Krysfelt is part of the deal. To earn my place, I’ll have to win over the fiery headmistress and the monster girl students—catgirls, orcs, wolfgirls, dryads, goblins—you name it… And that’s not even mentioning the pretty (but slightly insane) tiefling girl who believes she and I are destined to bond…

I was there when the Gaia System was first born. The changes were more than anyone could have dreamed of: magical powers, a stronger body, and a call to adventure. It should have been a paradise; gifted the ability to combine spells with my Meta Bracer, I should have had an easy climb to the top. Maybe it was just me, Jory Mitchels, previously middle management in a start-up from hell. The change was supposed to make life better for the humans of Earth, but something went wrong.

Varus the Elder Lich wanted nothing more than to spend eternity writing novels. He cared nothing for the fame or money, and never cared much about the total lack of company in his country cottage. He had his characters and that was plenty. Was, plenty. Until a chance interruption to his work brings some unexpected company into his unlife. It would take all his patience, all his wisdom, and more than a little of his sense of humor, to learn that sometimes being interrupted... Isn't so bad.

Great start, can’t wait for more
Awesome world building and character development. I have high hopes for the sequels.
My only complaint, and not enough to remove a star, was the volume difference between the narrators. All of Jessica Threet’s characters had a very noticeable volume drop every time.
Would I listen again? Oh very much yes.

Atlas Kane has always delivered fantastic books in the harem genre, and this is no exception. If you enjoy a great story, interesting characters, all seasoned with just a pinch of alliteration, this one is for you!
