Publisher's summary

Something went wrong. Something went very wrong….

Against his will, Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth, to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world. Unfortunately for him, something occurred during his transference into the “Training” program, and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal.

Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden managed to survive, only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and no way to defend himself. Worst of all, the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge, which ended up sticking him with a Support-based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities. As an Assistant Healer, none of his spells did any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to!

But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon. Sure, all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean when he seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?

This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-combat Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

OP solo healer MC

Unexpected Healer

Thaden and millions of humans are teleported from Earth in an instant. Everyone is transported into a training program, where they will learn all about the assimilation process and how they will use this to survive. Everyone expect Thaden that is. Something strange happens and it seems to break his interaction with the assimilation process and his mana bar never depletes. This is an amazing boon, except for the fact that he is assigned the noncombatant support class.

Normally, I am not into the overpowered character trope. I’ve read enough Jonathan Brooks stories to expect good things, so I gave it a shot. I am glad that I did! It was a fascinating set up to a new series and a very interesting world. Miles Meili does an excellent job with the narration!

Crunchy bag of peanuts

Jonathan Brooks is An author who is knowing for his stats and the crunchiness that occurs this 1 is 1 of the more heavier ones when it comes to crunching it's a bag of peanuts But fishing with this book and brings the story forward it's interesting as a first look and shows promise throughout the book it should be interesting to see what happens with this serious as explorers a healer with questions And people who want to hurt him

Great Book

A solid take on the LitRPG/Isekai. IMO it is good enough to appeal to non-LitRPG fantasy readers, as well as genre fans.

The narrator ruined it for me

i had to crank the speed up to 1.6 due to the author's weird tone drop at the end of many sentences. It made it difficult to listen.

it's a Healer

I can't believe it a good book with a Healer and no overpowered spills that are not healer types. just like the author I've also played healer. this is a great book overall definitely a Twist on the MC. enjoy this book at your own peril. it's a great reading or listen if you're on Audible The Narrative is great

It's a good story

This is a typical LitRPG with a change of an MC as a healer. It filled a gap that is greatly needed in the LitRPG genre, since it's rare to have the MC as a support role (supposedly). The narration sounded almost like an AI narrator, which annoyed me a little. The MC also annoyed me with some of the decisions he made and the way he thinks, but I understand that it's needed for him to fit into the story, but that still doesn't stop it from annoying me. Even after all of that, I'll still probably get the second book.

narration needs help

I like the premise of the book. it seems like 50 percent is just stats and describing stats. People don't like to be told about things they like to be shown. biggest problem is how the narrator make every sentence ending stretch. such as "he ran" is said "he raaaannnn" with a vocal uptick. every single sentence or pause. it makes a1 second words 2.5 seconds long arrhhhhhhhhhh dices me nuts. he's got ok voice but man .
