About this listen

Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, DC, when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him.

Drew was given access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he "slotted" his Xatherite and changed his fate: He gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker turned dungeon in a desperate bid for survival.

Escape is only the beginning, the first of his many problems in the changed world. Drew will be tasked to not only survive...but to guide the rest of humanity safely through the anarchy.

Character development is very good. The narrator is very well spoken. A great read for those who like video games and understand slotting and abilities. I hope this author continues the series!! I need to know what's next?

Fantastic read/listen

Only complaint was the short length could listen to a dozen more installments. Will be looking for sequels.

Great story

I had my doubts about a story based with a military background, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book has all the elements that make a great story.

I Loved it. Not quite done with the first book but excited for the second. I hope the second book opens the door to many more booms in the series... Well done! To Xander Boyce, also to Luke Daniels for the performance.

Phenomenal

Reasonably good, but not the best iteration of this sub genre I’ve come across. That said, I really enjoyed the modularity of the Xanthanite system, as that’s an rpg element that is relatively uncommon in litrpgs. Looking forward to the next one and further refinements.

Understandable

As stated, a rough start had me slightly agitated and seriously considering terminating the whole series. However I soldered on and was richly rewarded with a fantastic, engaging system apocalypse type story.

The MC is pretty decent and the storyline very engaging in the LitRPG universe. Will definitely continue the series.

A rough start... but then it gets WAY better

Tried this one more because of the narrator, Luke Daniels. Glad that I gave it a try. Exceptionally interesting, with a well thought out world, and characters that are not perfect, but trying to be good. Already bought book two, off to see if it stands up.

Highly recommend for any sci-fi/fantasy fan.

Glad I tried
