About this listen
From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—Advent is the first in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure that will leave listeners hungry for more.
All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends.
Then an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).
But the Exlian are voracious and myriad, and there’s more to Mark’s new powers than just leveling up. With the pressure mounting, it doesn’t take him long to realize the Exlian aren’t the only sinister threat lurking within the city …
In this first installment of the Exlian Syndrome series, you must fight the monsters … or become one yourself.

Cast into a brutal military camp by his once loving master, Mateo feels like the last six wonderful years of his life have been a lie.

That plan is thwarted from the beginning when he gets stuck with the lowest-ranked Root Card against his will, ensuring that his growth as a Duelist will always be excruciatingly slow.

Story
I've traveled back twenty-two years to rewrite the future and stop the nightmare threatening Earth. An apocalypse looms, promising total annihilation. No one will be spared. Now the weight of the world rests on my shoulders; I'm the one tasked with changing everything. I have come back to the past, and in five days, on the twenty-sixth of April, the day of reckoning will arrive. The event that will happen will be known as the Eclipse in the future. It will divide the history of the Solar System into a before and after.

Laric Mason has long evaded the grand expectations set before him by his grandmother. Engaged in the rudimentary spellslips and basics of mage magic at his local school, he intentionally conceals his true abilities. Public recognition would only bring unwanted responsibility and the threat of a transfer to the prestigious Mage Academy. When a devastating dragon assault from the neighboring realm of Korthal lays waste to his village, Laric's world is turned upside down. With his home in ruins and his loved ones lost, he and his friends are all that stand against further invasions.

Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. Bernt finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. He may spend more time unclogging pipes than fighting monsters, but hey, it's a stable job, and that's what counts. With the help of his unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer—just as soon as he can afford some proper gear.

Liu Peijin has spent the last decade of her life writing a widely read—and very trashy—LitRPG web novel. Too bad her readers don't really like the book . . . or the author. But who can blame them? Peijin is bitter and far more interested in challenging negative reviews and blocking all critics than engaging with fans. Until one day, after arguing with a commenter, she receives an ominous message: "Tomorrow, 1 p.m. I have a surprise for you." Sure enough, the next day the Azure Dragon of Peijin's story appears on the freeway before her and slaughters dozens of humans in a flash.

Phenomenal world building and character development
Seth Ring is phenomenal at world-building and character development. I don’t know how he does it, but he continues to create new worlds and characters in a way that feels both immersive and effortless. With every book, I find myself fully invested in the story, and Advent is no exception.
I have loved every world and story Seth Ring has created, and this one is no different. I highly recommend this book and eagerly await the next installment in the series—hopefully, with many more books to come!

Every character, every power, every challenge adds, piece by piece, to the already amazing Endless Worlds. Advent is a great addition to this expanding universe, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the story takes Matt, and Mime.

Really good
Really enjoyed the story and the cat was definitely the best character of the story. the MC was good even if extremely naive is some stuff but can easily move pass that because he is capable and hard working. the villains are the cliche villains like in any super heroes story where the city is besieged by extremely large numbers of enemies. and the epilogue made me rolled my eyes tbh with how obvious it was with the "reveal" of the one pulling the strings in the shadows. Will still get book 2 when it comes out

An excellent start of a new series
Seth Ring crafts another exciting series that, while sharing elements of other litRPG books, has made this book uniquely different from others. The MC is a good-natured, likable unpowered character but easily able to become invested in. His life takes a dramatic change when he, unknowingly, becomes infected with a, presumably, enemy life force which give him a strange power to assimilate the characteristics of materials he touches. The secondary characters' backstories are also intriguing, making investment in them also easy.
What follows is discovery of deadly political machinations and diabolical super-soldier experimentation that keeps the listener engaged and surprised throughout, making it difficult to not binge on listening to the end.
Pavi Proczko performance is also top notch, adding to the listening pleasure.

Interesting story
Interesting premise. What the story lacks in context it makes up for in the development in characters and plot line. Pavi Proczko does an excellent job and adds depth to the story with his performance. Mime, the cat, is a bit of an enigma but no doubt all will be revealed in due time. Seth Ring is not only an incredibly prolific author but is extremely imaginative and creative. I've enjoyed all his work to date including this new series. I recently finished Seth's Chain of Feathers which is also outstanding. Most highly recommended.

Better than expected
I’m a big Sth Ring fan, but I sadly didn’t expect much from this one - it started pretty slow. Happily, it gradually picked up till before I knew it, I was invested in the story!
