About this listen
Reborn into a world of magical skills and superhuman abilities, a young man battles the forces of darkness, in this action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasy.
On Earth, Zeke Blackwood was a star athlete who devoted his every waking minute to baseball . . . before his tragic death and the devastation of the planet. Eons later, he was resurrected in a magical realm known as the Radiant Isles. There, Zeke survived two years of unrelenting combat through sheer grit and determination. Battling trolls in a labyrinth of caverns, he gained superhuman abilities with every victory, ultimately equipping him for a war between good and evil.
Now, along with his companions—a beautiful archer named Abby and Pudge, a dire bear cub who’s become soul-bonded to him—Zeke engages in quests to help the defenseless against the monstrous creatures and near-immortal beings who prey upon them. But his latest selfless act has brought him into conflict with the Crystal Spiders, an assassins’ guild that’s been kidnapping people for some unknown purpose.
Before Zeke can unravel that mystery, he’s summoned by Silas Martel—a monk of the mighty Temple of the Sun Goddess and spymaster for its head priestess and ruler of the Radiant Isles, demigod Lady Constance—for a dangerous mission. He must rescue Constance’s daughter from Abraham Micayne, Lord of the Dead. The treacherous task will take Zeke, Abby, and Pudge through zombie-infested lands, with the Crystal Spiders in hot pursuit. And even though every brush with death only makes Zeke more powerful, nothing can prepare him for the macabre horrors of Micayne’s dominion . . .
The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 700,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
©2023 Nicholas Searcy (P)2023 Podium AudioThoroughly enjoyed this instalment.
Narrator is excellent (he is one of my “oh it’s him so it will be worth a credit” dudes) and the story is coming together nicely.
The whinging about zeke and Abby’s relationship seems weird to me. They both have issues as covered by their individual histories and are very much playing it by ear so to speak. I don’t see the problem.
Got the third one and looking forward to more stories set in this world.

Personally, I enjoy the darker elements of the book and appreciate that it avoids the mass-produced 'holier than thou' approach. While Zeke may not be Logen Ninefingers aka The Bloody-Nine (the crème de la crème for me) he's a young pragmatist who plays to his strengths and is evolving from a brute into a Paladin of sorts. It's refreshing to see a recognition of the new world dynamics, and I think the grimdark direction is a good one and i think it should fully lean into it.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and can't wait for the next instalment.
Enjoyable instalment with potential to be great

Dark & gritty

I expect quite a bit of repetition in a Litrpg, when it comes to status/levels.
But the constant nail hammering regarding Zeke's dad, Zeke's training for baseball and his work ethic, and his relationship with Abby got a lot more tedious than listening to stats being read for 5 minutes straight.
A little too repetitive
