About this listen
Four friends work together to break the system and make the world a better place in this cozy, fun-filled fantasy-adventure filled with twists and turns.
In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything. It dictates one’s strength, skills, and power. It spawns dungeons and guides the actions of their monsters. But every system has its limits, and it’s about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs.
First there’s Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in the middle of an existential crisis. And then there’s the tanklike half-orc Misa, who loves exploiting the system but misses her family—unlike the anxious-but-lovable Vex, a lizardkin wizard who’s run away from his own. And lastly there’s Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. None are prepared when a simple quest goes off the rails, interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them.
Something is deeply wrong within the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning, and the world itself seems to be falling apart. If Derivan, Misa, Vex, and Sev hope to survive—let alone determine the source of the chaos—they must rely on their trust for one another, share their secrets, and perhaps even engage in a bit of healthy communication.
Now if only everyone else would do the same . . .
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Oh, and I’m searching for answers about my parents’ mysterious deaths. Also monsters and other foes seem to show up wherever I go. All right, I see it. My new traveling companions are seasoned adventurers and are teaching me their ways—or at least they were before something happened to Time.

Story
Earth was invaded. Earth was conquered. And humanity was summarily subjugated, as 400,000,000 people were culled. The terrifying part was this only took the Peacekeepers a second. There wasn't even a chance for us to fight back. In the blink of an eye, questions like whether or not we're alone in the universe or at the top of the food chain were answered. We were not. Not by a long shot. Despite the mass murder, the Peacekeepers promise they're benevolent. They don't want to rule Earth. They don't want to control humanity. They just want us to stop playing around with AI and genetics.

For many years since, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth where only ancient, guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from Pyresouls.

This is it, the day I take over my father’s adventuring shop! Set at the base of Gianskarl mountain, where lies a vast and mysterious dungeon, this is the perfect spot. Many adventurers come to try their hand at the Karl in the hopes of hitting it big. And it’s up to me now to sell them the equipment they’ll need to face the dangers that await them.

Story
Earth was invaded. Earth was conquered. And humanity was summarily subjugated, as 400,000,000 people were culled. The terrifying part was this only took the Peacekeepers a second. There wasn't even a chance for us to fight back. In the blink of an eye, questions like whether or not we're alone in the universe or at the top of the food chain were answered. We were not. Not by a long shot. Despite the mass murder, the Peacekeepers promise they're benevolent. They don't want to rule Earth. They don't want to control humanity. They just want us to stop playing around with AI and genetics.

Story
All that stands between rowdy long-haul trucker Jill MacLeod (aka Junkmouth) and her family back in Boston is two thousand miles of asphalt. Well, that and the monstrous game the System has had her playing ever since it descended on Earth. The reward: mana. Jill's goal: kill, score, drive—and stay alive. Behind the wheel of a turreted forty-ton semi named Bertha, Jill hammers east from Montana through a gauntlet of every kind of chomping, hissing, rabid creature imaginable. Barreling forward in her magical soulbound big rig and chalking up a bumper crop of roadkill, Jill isn't alone for long.

While this book isn’t perfect by any means, it is an enjoyable and well written story with solid characters, an original enough premise, an engaging plot, and of course excellent narration by Travis Baldree.
There are only a couple of things I can think of that might contribute to its relatively low rating. I say relatively low because we all know that audible’s 5 point system and people’s inability to adequately scale their ratings has lead to a 0.6 star spread between unlistenable trash and the best audiobooks ever recorded.
But I digress… the two things that I think might be contributing to the low ratings are:
1. The naughty word police: Now I get that people who are looking for audiobooks to listen to with their home-school kids might not want to share in the joys of explicit language with said children. I’ll leave aside my feelings that if you aren’t worried about listening to books that are inherently somewhat focused on violence and in lots of ways normalize it, then it’s a little f—ked up that spicy words which your children are absolutely going to learn before they turn 7 years old (assuming they don’t already know them) are your deal breakers. But like I said I’m leaving that aside…
If bad words are a problem for you then don’t penalize the audiobook’s rating for that. Because to almost everyone else, your negative rating is totally unhelpful and moreover your beef is not with the author, but with Audible for not telling you that the book drops F-bombs. It would be super easy for them to let you know which books are on Mr Roger’s book list and which are not. Then you wouldn’t have to waste your time and credits in the first place.
2. There are two characters that have feelings for each other that are not specifically heterosexual. The fact that this is a non-sexual relationship between a suit of armor with no sex organs and a tiny lizard-wizard who just wants a hug makes the “no-homo” discomfort of some listeners a bit of a head-scratcher to me. I mean it’s kinda like the swearing thing: if the the tamest love affair of all time happening between a non-anatomically correct, magically-animated, inanimate object and a tiny, talking, magical lizardman is ok but the fact that the suit of armor kind-of identifies as male is where you’re drawing the line, then I don’t know what to tell you.
If you like LitRPG/Gamelit, but you aren’t someone who gets real hyped up about the genders of magical creatures who have grade-school level feelings for each other, and your imaginary world doesn’t shatter anytime you hear a word used every day by the majority of the existing human population, then you should consider giving this book a try… Basically, if you liked Legends and Latte’s or Threadbare then this book is right up your alley.
Far underrated by audible standards.
