Story
Just a few short weeks ago, I was Cal Newhart. An ex-marine struggling to adjust to the realities of civilian life. Now, I am the Paladin. A mythical warrior of vaunted strength and ability, able to summon armor and weapons in the blink of an eye. An elven princess summoned me to the magical continent of Telos. A goddess has charged me with defeating the demonic vrag from across the sea. Fortunately, I'm not alone. A stern yet beautiful Valkyrie, a seductive dark princess, and an innocent elven spell-caster will help me along my journey. And I'm going to need all the help I can get.

Story
I thought the last thing I would have expected while working at the mall during the holiday season was to meet a real elf woman. Then the blue-skinned ogre tore through the mall. The elf and I made a quick escape and ended up in a strange fantasy world. Now, I’m finding out that the elves have been in decline for centuries and are being hunted to extinction for their magical abilities. They need someone to help them. Someone to protect them. Someone with magical powers that could make elves strong like they used to be.

My name is Robert Grailmont. Since I was young, I felt called to serve my fellow citizens, rising through the political ranks with a senator’s seat in my near future. But when I tried to reveal the scandal of the century, I found myself framed by the very people I was trying to expose. I thought I’d hit rock bottom, never to get back up, but then I heard a call from another world. "Dark Lord, we need you!"

Rob is a sheriff's deputy faced with a choice: die in a meaningless shootout six hours from now, or accept the offer of a new life in another world offered by a mysterious goddess. But it won't be easy. He has to bring law and order to the wild frontier. The shocks keep coming when he finds out humans aren't native to Olimero. It is a land populated with fierce orcs, wild beastkin, and cunning elves. He may not have their magic, but he does have an edge. As an outsider, he has no cap on his stats. He will need to train, fight, and survive if he wants to rule.

I was just a cop on my beat when the world ended. My last memory was of an alien death ray ripping me from existence. When I woke up in a strange world, I should have just laid low. Figured out the rules of this place before I got involved. But, when you see a woman running from slavers. Well, let's just say they got what they deserved. Only problem is that makes enemies—demigods with the power to bind the magically gifted women of Timeria to their will.

My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy, I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess’ love. To me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break. I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It’s a suicide mission. But once I was exiled, I found that the outside world was different from what I had thought.

Did I always believe in magic? Not until today. Sure, I had seen my mother's ghost, but I'd managed to rationalize that. It wasn't until I was taken to some strange museum in Oregon and inducted into a supernatural agency that I truly believed. Then, something happened to the agency, and I was one of the last mages left in America. Now, I have to learn my peculiar magic all by myself. Well, not entirely by myself. I have a few beautiful women and a disgraced mage genius to help me figure out why my powers are so unique.

The day his life changed started out exactly like he had come to expect. His car died on a rarely traveled road, and he broke his toe shortly after dodging the one other car on the road. When it stopped and backed up to him, the license plate read “LADYLUK”, adding insult to injury.

Summary
I was only 27 and I already felt like my life was over. Then I fell asleep in statistics class and all hell broke loose.
I've been summoned to a world completely unlike my own. Elves and monster girls roam the streets. Complicating matters, a powerful race of demon called the Vrag have invaded Telos, and somehow I've been put in charge of protecting two princesses from all manner of mayhem.
The old Cal couldn't handle this. But when I stumbled through the dream portal, I became something more.
I'm no longer Cal Newhart, divorced college student and ex-marine. Now I'm the Paladin, a supernatural knight of legend.
It's not going to be easy. But with most of the male population withered away, someone will have to defeat the Vrag and repopulate Telos.
I've got a wild ride ahead of me.

Okay, after that ending I need book 2!
MC is a former soldier who is trying to readjust to his life now he is no longer in the service. After having dreams of being a paladin and protecting a princess on the run, he is transported into that reality.
This was my first book from Roland Carlson and I really enjoyed it, Great fantasy world where the plot is established from the get go and each character in the series has the own defined personalities and motivations.
Like is said in the title. I'm looking forward to book 2!

A fine story met down by a terrible narrator
The story is nothing special, but fun, however the male narrator is dreadful. Every single sentence is overacted to the point that pretty much every single climactic moment is ruined as I just wanted to cringe.
It honestly sounds the way a 14 year old would when telling a story and trying to be dramatic.

The beginning
This book is the dream of mine. It builds the foundation of the coming story. They have taken the time to lead through the beginnings and to me this makes it easy to fall into the story.
The dual narration was great and well worth it. If I had one gripe it would be the comedy that that Marcus tried to install in the MC.
All in all a great beginning.

Mc voice.
The Mc’s voice actor sounds like he was vetted from a pool of the most perverted teenage nerds in the US. Sounds like he’s a straight up stereo type of the character trope. How am I supposed to believe this is some burly military vet when the he sounds like a 16 year old pervert who closest encounter with a woman was through a screen. The story seems to have been written by someone of the same caliber. No build up no nuance. Just quick disjointed excuse for a story and we’re thrown into sex. Maybe with a better voice actor this may not have been as bad but both together? Unbearable.

Nice premise terrible execution.
The book has a nice idea and start. The idea of an Ancient spirit thats that's defender of a realm and needs a summoned host to inhabit to fight for the realm is interesting.
However the writing leaves much to be desired. The Mc is ex military yet seems to have none of the skills of a marine. has supernatural reflexes but almost loses multiple times to baseline people. He also swings wildly to overconfident from cowardly in the beginning
The voice actos do a great job of differentiating the characters. but the Male MC voice comes across incredibly whiny and isn't helped by the writing.

Both the writing and narration of the mc are garbage. For what is backlit as such a badass warrior, he does nothing but cry like a toddler told "No." It's a shame I can't get my money back after wasting my time on this trash. Truly is a shame you can't give ZERO STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!!! for that is all this deserves

I had hopes for this as something that while not great would have been atleast entertaining but the male narrator sounds like he is cpnstantly whining even when something good happens he makes the mc sound like he is whining. Female narrator did a good job though.

Has an older fantasy feel to it!
This story was pretty fun without many of the common tropes found in harem books.
The romance isn't very heavy in this book. The MC and the girls just seem to gravitate to each other.
I'm looking forward to the next book and seeing more of the world that Carlsson created! Like I said above, it has that "old fantasy" feeling to it that is nostalgic.
I love the voice of the Goldstein! But Jahn's... I don't want to sound like a prick but there is just something about his voice and how he speaks... but that could just be me so I didn't want to lower the review for something that might be just me.
I mean, how can someone help how their own normal voice sounds...?

his voice hits worce as it goes
The Male narrator is at least twice as painful to listen to as you th think he will be whin hearing the sample. i might have been able to enjoy this book if it had a good narrator or the girl read th hr whole book. it's a campy book but I can dig that but the dudes voice.
