About this listen
In the epic third installment of this urban fantasy series, an ambitious and powerful young man incites a revolution at the end of the world.
If Truth Medici has learned anything, it’s that the country isn’t neatly divided into safe and dangerous zones. Everywhere is a battlefield and a hunting ground. Everyone is both predator and prey, slumrats on the run from bigger rats. Truth is finally one of the bigger rats, so elite that ordinary people can’t even see him. But though he may be a walking ghost, he’ll be acknowledged one way or another.
Truth holds the power to slay the very oppressors who made him what he is. And he’s resolved to wield this power toward a righteous end. His next move: smash the System and fashion himself as a mastermind, pulling the strings of rebellion. With the help of old friends and new, it’s time for him to level up and prepare to do anything in the name of freedom.
But uprisings, explosive anarchy, devastating chaos, and collateral damage are just the beginning. Because the war isn’t only being waged on the ground. The rulers of Heaven and Hell are in on it too, their ancient animosity more nuanced than anyone dares believe. And standing and fighting between them is Truth . . .
The third volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than one million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Seventeen-year-old Truth Medici scavenges for scraps to eat; weathers his parents' abuse; and battles derelicts, killer pimps, and demons in the soul-crushing stretch of desperation he calls home. Even the cops steer clear of the toxic Harban slums. But just across the canal live the magical elite, with their wealth, flying carpets, gorgeous mages, and custom spell beasts, all thanks to the patronage of the almighty Starbrite Corporation. Getting there, and taking his three vulnerable siblings with him, is Truth's only dream.

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!

Story
In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it.

Nathaniel's bus ride was supposed to be just another boring commute. Wrong. Now, he, 23 fellow passengers, and a corgi named Biscuit, are stuck in a "Hell Difficulty" Tutorial, battling monsters and leveling up to survive. Easy difficulty, anyone can handle. Normal difficulty, you've got to put up a fight to get by. Hard difficulty is where only the tough ones last. And Hell? That's where you have to be a bit out of your mind! With his terrifying talent for mana manipulation, Nathaniel decides to invest every stat point into mana.

Story
Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet. Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee. But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

The only things keeping him from dying were his tiny base supplies of "life" and "energy". The medicine woman who delivered Eric believes this to be the work of the evil spirit, Bug. Due to the peculiar laws of the Great System, Eric cannot use experience essences or characteristics tablets.

Story
Tad doesn't have any memory before waking up on the beach, apparently the sole survivor of a shipwreck. All he has from his past is a necklace with a symbol no one recognizes. After growing up in the orphanage, he takes a job managing inventory for a merchant catering to adventurers. He knows he's a bit off, the world just smells different to him. When he's confronted by a group of adventurers with more power than ethics, he learns that it's been magic he is smelling all along.

Story
When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

For those who disliked the unexpected swerve into the romance genre taken by the second book, you will be happy to learn that Truth is almost the sole character in book three, and his beloved's role is limited to five-ish lines and one dream sequence. He is far from his friends, surrounded by enemies and liabilities, and still too weak to save the Sibs. The only person he can depend on is himself.
Honestly, this is a very interesting book, especially from a meta perspective. The clear parallels and criticism of South Korea, capitalism, and religion become more apparent as Truth's internal philosophy begins to coalesce. And yet, rather than feeling preachy, these concepts act to primarily flesh out both our main character and the world he lives in. This is helped by the author not stating what a "correct" opinion is on these topics, only pointing out the clear and undeniable errors in Jay-on's(?) current philosophy. It is thought provoking, rather than confrontational.
Additionally, having someone willing to commit acts of terror for his beliefs is a novel concept for a protagonist, especially since the author takes the time to wrestle with the concept of "for the greater good", and how much that really maters. It fleshes out an archetype that is often paper thin, and in doing so, expands the reader's worldview. Not by championing or demonizing extremism, but by explaining it.
However, above and beyond all these meta aspects is the delight of Truth and the worldbuilding of this series. He shines in this book, faced with many immoral decisions in the pursuit of his goals, forced to adapt, overcome, and justify himself, displaying a sense of maturity that is refreshing. The things we learn about the way Jay-on(?) works deepen both the themes and vibes of this story, returning us to our Cyberpunk roots. Too many times, I saw uncomfortable parallels to our own societies in the collapsing hellscape of Jay-on(?).
Overall, this is a topical but primarily character driven Cyberpunk story, interweaving an interesting magic system with morality, ethics, and philosophy. The world, people, and dilemmas are constantly engaging, and I was hooked for the entire duration. My primary complaint is that there is not yet a book four in audio format.
I highly recommend.
TL;DR: Direct continuation, no romance, prevalent but natural social commentary, a bunch of ethical questions, and a return to our Cyberpunk roots. It's good stuff.

The cliffhanger ending is irritating, I don’t like them as a rule, especially when the next book isn’t out yet. Still, I’ll be purchasing the next book as soon as it is released.
