Publisher's Summary

One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a game that is as brutal as it is complex.

Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.

Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?

Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.

A world of powers, forces, and mysterious factions. A game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.

Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the game's challenges, the machinations of the powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.

The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!

The type of story that you just can’t stop

You listen to this story and just want to listen more. You could be a teenager or an old man and it’s great. Nothing preachy nothing pc friendly. But not some over the top angsty delinquent persona, or crazy with bad speech. Yet still like a great balance of just realness. Hats off. One of the best and will be recommending this story to everyone in the future.

Get it.

Litrpg at its core. No fluff, feels like I’m back playing D&D.
Action packed, great pace, good progression. Thoroughly enjoyed

Thanks Tom and Andrew

Strong LitRPG. Recommended.

For LitRPG readers who have smashed through DCC, Primal Hunter, Tao Wong, other headliners etc and are looking for something similar worth their credit - this will scratch the itch. Solid execution and cool character progression. Cheers to the author 👍

Pretty good

Solid story from Tom Elliot, love to see a rogue do his stealthy thing. I've just downloaded book two which says it all really.
Our main charachter is well written but the villians are a bit moustache-twirly.
The leveling system is overly convoluted, like one of the math heavy tabletop games. Which is fine if we see the character figure that out and exploit it but this isn't one of those litrpgs.
Those are only quibbles though as the action is visceral and plentiful.

Thanks Tom

Way too many unnecessary details.

Nearly entirely unnecessary details & over explanations of very simple concepts. A long book with almost no story. As an example I don’t want to read an entire chapter devoted to opening the most simplest of traps on a treasure chests etc.
