About this listen
Egor, a fresh college grad from Russia, takes his classmate's advice and joins a popular VR game, hoping to earn some cash.
With a tight budget that won't cover a full account or a fancy VR immersion capsule, he opts for a free trial account and fires up his ancient gaming console.
Laggy gameplay, crappy graphics on his old TV, a sluggish internet connection—who cares about all that when you're not there to play?
Egor's plan is simple: mine ore in the sandbox and slaughter hordes of rabbits, all in the name of scoring some sweet loot. Little does he know, he's about to stumble upon an item that will make the game's elite players stop at nothing to take him down…

So you died a horrific death in your own world? No problem! Maybe you are exactly what an dying old mage needs to resurrect the princely line of the Morozov family. An old maniac sliced a couple of people to bits right before your eyes? Relax! Now he's your teacher, and he's going to guide you along through life. What? You've actually seen real demons? Huge, ten-foot-tall monsters wielding axes? Take a chill pill! They appear pretty frequently in unexpected places all over the world and wreak destruction.

The System is here! Most of the population of the planet were suddenly turned into zombies, while the rest acquired new abilities. Abilities that let them run from the zombies, save themselves, hide, and try to survive. But it only takes one bite that almost always means death. Our hero was standing in line when the apocalypse came. He was lucky at first to be caught in a crowd when the zombies tried to bite him on the leg. Really lucky, because those trials unlocked new abilities for him.

It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans for him. Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners. At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

When an accident kicks Sean Lawrence forward in time, he finds himself square in the apocalyptic end-times. The world is doomed, and he only has a mysterious guidebook, a leather jacket, and a homemade knife to keep him company. He could spend his days grinding low-level mobs, gathering rat pelts, and waiting for a chance to escape. Or he could rise up, slay dragons, and fight against the odds. Faced with a choice between the dead-end life he's been living and the possibility of greatness, Sean has to decide if he's willing to risk his life and more for a chance to save Earth itself.

"Congratulations! You are the last survivor of the Hell Games. You have gained back your freedom." Huh? One moment I was running from demons and other competitors trying to do me in. The next, I was thrown back into yet another realm. Before me, some Princess started explaining that she had asked the gods for champions to help save her world in these dire times… and I was one of the chosen heroes. Yeah, right! I had been in Hell long enough to know I shouldn't trust my senses when it all seemed too good to be true.

Story
Jenny Huang's day starts out stressful enough. Between an argument with her overbearing mom and a surprise pop quiz in first-period English, she's counting down the weeks until she can escape to college. To top it all off, she's working up the nerve to ask her best-friend-slash-crush to prom. But when an earthquake rips her high school into another realm, Jenny suddenly has much bigger problems to contend with. The Survival Challenge is in effect, trapping Jenny and her classmates in a hellish battle royale.

Story
When professional magician Max is guided through a portal by a mysterious book from his past, it makes sense that he's classed as a Magician in this game-like fantasy world. As a workaholic and a loner, his career has been his life thus far, so why wouldn't it continue to be? But then his Soul Merge fails, and the System decides to find a compromise, classing him as something weirder: a Demonic Magician. Armed with a card deck of new tricks, his showmanship skills, and the power to summon demons, Max is ready to fight his way through this realm of pink slimes, monsters and opposing Players.

Veos has quickly proved to be far more capable than your average Dungeon Core. In the eyes of his challengers, at least. He's instinctive and motivated, with a drive to craft an intricate story and create obstacles for all those who seek to explore what lies beneath Nerian-Silex. Though Veos is certainly an unusual dungeon, what truly sets him apart is unknown to most—even himself. But now he's stumbled upon intel about the realm's dark history that, if tampered with, could reawaken a horrific enemy.

The System is here! Most of the population of the planet were suddenly turned into zombies, while the rest acquired new abilities. Abilities that let them run from the zombies, save themselves, hide, and try to survive. But it only takes one bite that almost always means death. Our hero was standing in line when the apocalypse came. He was lucky at first to be caught in a crowd when the zombies tried to bite him on the leg. Really lucky, because those trials unlocked new abilities for him.

Mason the survivalist was always preparing for the end of the world. He just didn’t expect a god-like AI to transform it into a damn video game.

Blake’s no idiot. He’s a charming, incredibly lucky, ambitious world-beater. But he was destined for corporate boardrooms, not monster filled forests, and Mason knows he needs to reach him before it’s too late.

Another great story in the works
If you love the Disgardium series like I do, then just hold on to your seats. This is the beginning of something that will be absolutely beautiful. Book 1 ended with me just wanting more already.

Another Prelude I never knew I wanted
A) Not many authors can create and maintain a self consistent world spread across multiple book series, characters and time frames. But Dan Sugralinov does it extremely well.
The details and Easter eggs (sup Crag), and the fact that the real world is so seamless and well integrated into the virtual game is what really elevates his stories from plain fun to epics that you can reread over and over again and always find something new. Some new hint or insight into the characters, or some piece of world building backstory that’s the ties into another story. It’s awesome and refreshingly consistent. And most of all, it feels real and grounded in reality, like I’m listening to personal accounts from a future not to far away.
This was enjoyable, fun, and gives insight into the future of Phil’s world, and the world maybe 25-30 years before Alex Sheppard was born.
B) Daniel Thomas May did an excellent job as always.
C) I’m glad to see Torfu again.
D) Egors story is mentioned in passing in Disgardium somewhere. And if it as epic as it sounded, I really can’t wait! Probably should reread Disgardium again pretty soon …
Anyway, this is definitely a must buy. See about also reading the Knockout, Level Up, and Disgardium series for more of the same world building, adventures, awesome stories, and characters

Another good start to be a pretty good series
For those of you who have read some of the other authors' works, you'll know that it does have a set, you started in the sandbox something op something extraordinary and then you go from there but it is a good start to a good story. With a strong possibility for a good series

A great companion to the disgardium series!!!
I feel like Dan Sugralinov has reached the Master level of his craft and my only complaint is that his novels are too short.
I have been a huge fan of the disgardium series and is still my favorite series in the litrpg genre. The game world is familiar if you've played WoW and outside the game takes place in a realistic consumerist future.
The characters are well defined and the story really flows. After reading Scythe's adventures in icy gorge, I wasn't super interested in this book, but I'm so glad I purchased it. And having the same narrator really helps. My only critique is the length of this novel was shorter than I wanted. And maybe that a few of the characters names are the same as in the Dis series (defiler, krag,and crawler).
Can't wait for the next book!
