About this listen
A hilarious new LitRPG adventure from bestseller Michael James Ploof with a unique twist on game night.
The family who plays together stays together.
Betrayed by his guild and left for dead, Benjamin Jewel's aspirations to triumph in the Ragnarök Tournament seemed shattered—until Chuck, his mother's enthusiastic boyfriend—secures him a last-minute entry. His luck is turning around.
Ben's relief morphs into horror when he discovers that his "noob" family has also joined for a bit of fun, making his challenging quest downright nightmarish.
Now, not only must he navigate a treacherous world teeming with monsters, vengeful gods, and sinister spirits, but he must also contend with his new guildmates: his own dysfunctional family.
Grampa Dru is in it for the laughs, Gramma Bean is lost in a flashback to Vegas, 1975, and his mom sees it as the perfect bonding opportunity. Meanwhile, his twin sisters, Mindy and Mandy, relish in his misfortunes, and Wiley, his overzealous eight-year-old brother, wreaks havoc, eager to slay everything in sight—monsters, innocent NPC villagers, and, preferably, Ben himself.
They say the family that plays together stays together, but surviving each other might just be the greatest challenge they face.
The Family Jewels is a delightfully chaotic LitRPG filled with stats, action, family infighting, and plenty of laughs. Dive in with Ben's rookie relatives and enjoy a unique twist on a world where family game night gets a whole new meaning. Perfect for fans of Life in Exile, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and This Trilogy is Broken!

Story
When the Doom System appeared, it shattered reality overnight. People took superhuman abilities, their only defense against a world that no longer made sense. But just as humanity began to adapt, the System changed the rules. Now, survival isn’t just a struggle. It’s a competition. For Hiro Johnson, staying alive has become a full-time job. The System twists the streets of New York into death traps, pitting survivors against monsters, hunters, and each other yet rewarding them with powerful skills and weapons.

Before meeting his pathetic and all-too-predictable demise in the middle of a pie-eating contest, Zack was living the high life: schlubbing around his parents' basement, subsisting on pizza, video games, computer screens, and web novels. 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.

Each day, Owen rises with the sun. Creatures cheer as he shovels food into the trough. Enchanted plants dance and sway while he waters their stalks. This is a strange, wild world. A place where mushrooms can sprout sentience. A place where forest slimes make the best pets. It’s cozy. Simple. But that’s the tip of the monster-farming iceberg. The more his creatures work, the stronger they become. They grow and grow, morphing into unbelievable, frightening beasts.

Death is just the first step on his path to ultimate power. Ostracized by his fellow villagers, hunted by bandits, and watched by the Royal Guard's least elite squad, Jerry is called to balance creating a lovely home with practicing his craft and unleashing death and destruction on his enemies. Unfortunately, taking it slow is not an option. Wizard supremacists tour the Kingdom, Archmages enact devious plans, and the world needs Jerry more than his village does. Adventure calls — death is overrated, anyway.
