About this listen
An apocalyptic LitRPG explorating a dying Multiverse and an MC embracing the path of Evolution.
Adapt or die. Kill or be killed.
Survivor of the 237th Universe, prepare yourself...
Nobody could have told Leo that with those words, the beginning of the end would come. Yet, with about ninety percent of the Universe's population turned into monsters, there was no time to grieve.
You fight, or you die, and Leo doesn't plan on giving up now. He has to push forward and find what is left of his family. If that means sacrificing what is left of his humanity and embracing his new reality where a mysterious System is his only true ally, then so be it.
After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill him, he has to make a choice.
Adapt or die. Kill or be killed.
A Universe of Bloody Evolution offers a long journey of progression, LitRPG, and exploration of a dying Multiverse. Listen as Leo slowly sheds his human skin to wear one of a beast straight out of the depth of the Void. Embrace the path of Evolution.

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
Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death. Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

Story
Penniless, luckless, and aimless, Adam is an art student recovering from a deep betrayal. He isn't even given the chance to lick his wounds before a mysterious force pulls him into a painting–and into a new, fantastical world. Adam doesn't mind much. He wasn't particularly fond of his old world anyway. Maybe this could be the fresh start he needs. Yet, nothing improves. Adam is attacked by monsters, imprisoned by guardsmen, and pressed into service by the resident nobility. Even here, he's taken advantage of. Even here, he's still powerless.

Story
Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."
