About this listen
When three friends find themselves in the grimdark fantasy world of their novel, they must grind, battle, and barter to survive the deadly landscape.
Redacle is the cold, unforgiving setting for Chronicles of Destiny, Bernard, Kehinde, and Cádo's successful grimdark novel. But when the coauthors find themselves its three newest adventurers—trapped in the perilous landscape of their own creation—they realize that not all is as they intended. With their story gone rogue and filling in plot holes the authors couldn't have imagined, the three must learn how to level up, allocate skill points, and use their class abilities to endure a world filled with deadly foes.
Before they know it, the boys are raiding troll lairs alongside witchfinders, fighting off gangs with makeshift explosives, and working as mercenaries for any gold they can scrounge. But their exploits soon bring them to a stark realization: people all over Redacle are in danger, and Bernard, Kehinde, and Cádo must decide whether to help themselves . . . or the countless others who suffer in the world of their book.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 200,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Story
When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest. She is granted both, though in the harshest way possible. The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.

He must exploit his versatile class to overcome powerful monsters and opportunistic strangers who kill people as a quick path to power.

When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother... Maybe there's a way he can do both...

He had it all . . . while still being a big, fat nothing. But when he's forced to ditch his pudgy mortal corpse, Zack finds himself taking the place of a recently-killed demonic sect elder known as Slifer, who—even as an elderly man—is one serious badass.

Eighteen-year-old Callum Stross never asked to become a hero. Struggling through a brutal harvest alongside his father, he's more concerned with surviving the season than reliving ancient wars. But when a devastating aetherstorm strikes, Callum is forced to seek shelter in a cursed manor, where he discovers a dormant Aethercore tied to the bloodline of the legendary Demonslayer. The core fuses with his soul, awakening latent power and binding him to Fen, a mana-bound fox who claims Callum is the Reborn Heir meant to finish what his ancestor started.
