About this listen
The world's most powerful ascendant thought he'd finally found peace, but relics of the past will force him to face foes both familiar and extraordinary.
Nym has won his freedom and earned himself a comfortable existence. He has everything he needs to thrive, including personal tutoring in the ways of magic from an actual archmage. But just when he thinks the danger is behind him, a figure from his alter ego's past finally tracks him down.
Confronted by a force he could never hope to defeat as his new self, Nym must make a choice between running or accepting the return of his old memories. With them comes Niramyn, the being he was, a being he doesn't want to become again but who might just be his only chance at salvation.
Giving in means gaining the power Nym needs to defend himself against a race of what may as well be gods, but it could also mean the destruction of everything and everyone he's come to love over the last few years of his new life. And of course, it means facing off against the only ascendant to ever figure out how to kill an immortal, a fight he already lost once.
Nym is desperate to find a way to survive, but what can he do against such an overwhelming foe? And is it really survival if he has to pay the ultimate price?
The third volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Story
While celebrating his latest victory, Exarch Niramyn carelessly lets his guard down. Seeing his chance, the mighty Myzalik—Nym's rival of a thousand years—casts a spell that sends him back to adolescence, with no idea who he really is or how he came to be washed up on the beach of Bloodfin Cove. Fortunately, the kindly Ciana comes along and saves him. But she quickly realizes he's no ordinary child. For one thing, he has magical abilities she's never seen in someone so young. And for another, he can fly.

Story
I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Greg walked into a bar hoping to wash away the sour taste of a bad day at work. What he got instead was a bartender offering him the opportunity of his dreams—with a catch. A ticket to purchase a class that could make him the strongest being alive. If he can afford the asking price. Thrust into a world he knows nothing about, Greg will need power on another level entirely. To get ahead, he'll need the kind of power only deities possess.

The System is here! Most of the population of the planet were suddenly turned into zombies, while the rest acquired new abilities. Abilities that let them run from the zombies, save themselves, hide, and try to survive. But it only takes one bite that almost always means death. Our hero was standing in line when the apocalypse came. He was lucky at first to be caught in a crowd when the zombies tried to bite him on the leg. Really lucky, because those trials unlocked new abilities for him.

Bernt finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery.

Story
While celebrating his latest victory, Exarch Niramyn carelessly lets his guard down. Seeing his chance, the mighty Myzalik—Nym's rival of a thousand years—casts a spell that sends him back to adolescence, with no idea who he really is or how he came to be washed up on the beach of Bloodfin Cove. Fortunately, the kindly Ciana comes along and saves him. But she quickly realizes he's no ordinary child. For one thing, he has magical abilities she's never seen in someone so young. And for another, he can fly.

Larek Holsten is different from most people living in the Kingdom of Androthe, where his seven-foot-tall frame is looked at with suspicion and anger from its shorter residents; but as long as it helps him become the best Logger he can be, he doesn’t let it bother him all that much. He and his best friend, an axe with a powerful Fusion that causes it to become sharper and stronger than a normal tool, are feared by the trees in the magical forest north of his home, as he can fell the quickly growing monoliths faster than anyone else in the community.

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

In a sub genre that never wraps up a book series this one is different
An absolutely stunning end to the series, it’s not often an author gives an ending that makes it hard to pick up another book after but this is one. Phenomenal

Amazing ending
yes, the time travel, different timelines and complications in addition to all Nym had to learn "bogged" the story down. just like any story with timeline shenanigans. honestly the first two books barely has any of that, so no wonder that in this book, it is the largest complaint about this book. however as someone who's enjoyed Mother of Learning and the Shadow of what was lost, I quite enjoyed it, and was happy to only have it be a major plot point in 1/3 of the series. my biggest disappointment is that Nym and Anolia didn't get married and have kids. I wanted that surprise, alas, we still got to see Nym live out his wishes, I don't think besides my one small complaint, that I could have asked for a better ending.
9/10 series all together

I don't think I could have enjoyed it more
from the narration and the solid plot movement, interesting world mechanics and ending on some high note with room for interpretation on certain relationships and future development if the author decides to come back to this title. I'm glad the recovery of memory's wasn't put off another book and all the stuff after. the book was just so full of substance and thought. I really hope another book comes out with Nim as the protagonist again

Time travel makes the story and character fall apart
Generally decent book.  The time travel is incoherent and ruins. The main characters motivations it is not clearly explained why the Nym can’t use time travel to resolve the problems he faces. The obstacles in his way should not even phase him. It’s like a 747 hitting turbulence because it flies over a speed bump on Main Street 10,000 feet below the plane…

A great ending to this series
loved this story. It kept me engaged the entire time. I loved how the story line came together and it's eventual out come. Every book in this series was awesome. I just loved Todd Haberkorn's performance. He does such an amazing job bringing the characters to life. He's voice work really enhances the story. A+ voice actor.

(Full Series Opinion)
Overall it was good! not great, but good. I'd recommend it to most cultivation style books enjoyers. It doesn't get too hentai like some books do, though this one did have a rather odd interaction. which I'll get into in a moment. trying to be spoiler free, it's a good unique story with a unique magic system and such.
now for the spoilers. I do not understand what was up with that girl in the beginning and best I understand she was forgotten. maybe it was the fox so okay I could see that but in that case I'd thought it would've taken down the path of falling in love with the fox. would've been an interesting dynamic, but instead it just kinda vanishes. like some other topics in this book in particular, it felt so rushed. there were a bunch of repeats of things, like I swear he repeated some thing or another a dozen times throughout the book which was a bit annoying. also the magic system seemed at first to be really unique and thought out, but we never really got further into it. this book treats magic like spell levels in DnD vs the in world reality it was. Sure there was some flavor text but we are literally going into a layer and we can't expand why this did this or that?
perhaps this isn't the last book in the series, which is fine. it felt rushed but a decent send off if it were. I felt like it could've been better, but again it was good so I won't complain too much.
