About this listen

A Livestreamed Dungeon Crawl LitRPG

What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat?

The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet, along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy.

A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions.

Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.

And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize.

You don’t know?

Well, it’s actually pretty simple.

You survive.

Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System.

Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive?

About the series: Join Wolf as he is forced to join a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

Story Is Great

I like how there was not a huge build up to the main story line, but enough to give some context of the character. A bit all over the place in the story, but I will be interested to see where the author takes the story next.

Narator is great!

Interesting storyline, somewhat unique

Excellent start, can't wait for the next book. Also the mc having ice abilities is relatively fresh for similar audiobooks.

An excellent and enjoyable start to a series

Like it ok it's simular to some litrpg books already out but descent story line. it's a little over written and too descriptive for the first few chapters but after a while it flows better. I believe it will be a good series to follow.

worth listening to

Really enjoyed this, it’s refreshing to have a main protagonist who isn’t an idiot. Great story development and cool mechanics. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Entertaining and a fun story to listen to
