Orphaned by Monsters. Matt must power up to save others from the same fate.
Matt plans to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and murdered his parents. But his dreams are crushed when his Tier 1 Talent is rated as detrimental and no guild or group will take him.
Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple. They give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends.
With their recommendation and a stolen Skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. Maybe then, he can get vengeance he seeks....

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

Story
Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, DC, when the Advent began.

Ryker only has one goal in his life right now: Turn a certain adventuring guild into a flaming wreck while dancing merrily through the smoldering ruins. All for the chance to get back at a handful of people. It isn’t as if they didn’t deserve it either. They had driven him from his home. Chased him physically from the very guild house itself. Simply because he wasn’t as strong as they expected him to be. As strong as he’d expected himself to be. He’d returned the next day and left with something he’d hidden away and told no one about when he found it in one of his few Dungeon Dives.

Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord. A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he'll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't.

And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

If you are worried about negative reviews
First of all I must say I really enjoyed it. I was worried about the negative reviews and while I understand where the annoyance with the narration I was able to ignore it. The main issue for me was interjection of a different “system” voice that popped up any time a skill was uttered. It is weird and jarring and I really hope that doesn’t continue. It is ignorable though and happens less towards the end of the book. Also some of the voices in the beginning were obnoxious even some of the main characters but they soften as the book goes on.
Additionally it is a story initially published on royal road I’m pretty sure and like many stories that are originally published on there (but not all) the author takes a little to find their voice or you could just simply say they improve. It doesnt start off bad, in fact it starts off good, but it gets better and more interesting as the world grows and you get introduced to more of the setting.
I dont write reviews often but I was almost scared off of this book and I’m really glad I gave it a shot because I really enjoyed it and will listen to whatever comes out next.

Great characters all around
This is a great cultivation style story. The characters are very enjoyable(her family and extended family are so great) and the progress and pacing is great. I thought I had much more time as the last 7 hours slipped right on by. I will eagerly await the next one in this series.
The narrator does a great job but I do admit the skill titles didn't need the separate recording. I did get used to the style as the book went on but it is a bit emersion breaking especially mid conversation. The characters are voiced very well and are distinct enough that you know who is talking.
Overall I recommend this book!

Ignore the first few hours - it gets much better
LitRPG is hit or miss to me. Done right, it explains why some spend all their waking time in a universe that's simulated, and done wrong, particularly audible wrong, it's someone reading an old phonebook full of numbers and names. It's not easy to put in writing/words that are extremely visual. Games which operate often with hundreds of characteristics and metrics, get lost in translation when you just read it all. The relationship between characteristics, character stats, environment, threats etc. is waste - and the good LitRPG stories give you insights into why learning and discovering a very mathematical universe can be attractive.
This book starts out as the second kind. At some point for minutes tables of values were being read. It's like someone at a cooking show trying to describe every smell as the TV viewer cannot smell it. And doing so for minutes. And when you thought it was done, it started up again. The story really doesn't kick in for hours - you don't really identify with the characters early on, but when you do, the story makes sense and you start rooting and hoping for the best to happen. So give it a chance, don't let the early chapters discourage you.

Good Story with minor problems
This book is good read. It has an interesting plot, good character dynamics, and potential for some attention grabbing struggles for the main character.
The side characters could use some flushing out at times and some better narration choices could have been made.
I personally find the worst part to be the narrator's choice to SHOUT the name of the skill mentioned EVERY SINGLE TIME as it broke the flow of the narrative and conversations between characters. REALLY ANNOYING! Especially when the SHOUT is in the middle of a character speaking about multiple skills. . .in a row.
Otherwise it is a fun read, and each support character seems to be fully developed with some fun quirks.

Skill name jarring
My only complaint is the skill names being read in a completely different tone. I found it more distracting than helpful. Otherwise, fantastic first book. I look forward to the next.
