A scrappy young off-worlder fights for his life while searching for his missing family in this thrilling LitRPG fantasy series from the author of Ascendant.
When Luke Bennet wakes in a world where time flows differently than it does on Earth, he discovers his family, gone missing over the last year, has been dead for a hundred years here. Left to survive in the wilderness as marmots, murderous goblins, giant spiders, and a two-ton raccoon all try to kill him, Aros's latest off-worlder must depend on his newly acquired system to help him level up and live to fight another day.
When Luke finally wends his way to civilization, the locals think he's a Guardian—whatever that means. Soon he's brawling in a fight club to earn his keep and hone his skills. But danger finds him both in and outside the ring, and now the dreaded inquisitors are on his tail. With the beautiful, sharp-tongued Zea by his side, he'll have to up his stats and locate the God Machine as quickly as possible if he wants to bring his family back.
But nothing's as it appears in this new city, and Luke's own system seems to be trying to manipulate him. If he can't trust it, who can he trust?
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Good world building

Good story

First half was great

The narration was fine, but occasionally the narrator is guilty of reading literally what is written rather than providing the appropriate audio interpretation for what the author intended (generally in the stats and status moments).
For a Podium Audio it was sadly lackluster

Has potential but marred by "plot armor"

Then you have the author that didn't want to flush out any Magic system and keeps the MC as a melee meat head.

He is from another world and is trying to hide , keeps using language from another world, dose t take advise . To be honest I began wishing he would just die.
The MC is an idiot.

There are just too many times in this story where Luke would say or do something so unbelievably stupid and naive that it would completely draw me out of the narrative. It contrasts so drastically with how he is 70% of the time that it feels forced.
It doesn't help that he's always bitching and moaning - one of the ugliest, insufferable traits a protagonist can have.
Basically, we've got a protagonist put in a world with such a hilariously overpowered set of abilities and boons that are completely outweighed by his lack of guile or basic intelligence. He's the kind of naive that I'd feel it irresponsible for a parent to let him out of the house without an escort, less he walked right into a stranger's van.
I'd have honestly rather he had NO advantages, but just wasn't an idiot.
Started off pretty decent, turned frustrating
