About this listen

An action-packed LitRPG Apocalypse perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Road to Mastery, and The Ten Realms.

In a world of countless enemies, Freddy's unique power will help him thrive.

Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned—twice—he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman.

His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself in possession of 1% Lifesteal, a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses.

With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least.

But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body?

Or will that part of him simply remain broken...

Experience the start of this action-packed LitRPG Adventure from Robert Blaise set two hundred years after a reality-altering apocalypse. Featuring a weak-to-strong Brawler MC who never backs down, a unique power system, apocalyptic elements and more!

I really enjoyed this one. It’s not quite ‘he who fights with monsters’, but it is well worth the listen.

I have never read about a more pitiable main character than this poor chap. The circumstances he has to go through life and this book are almost unimaginable and it’s remarkable that he is as sane as he is considering. There is a little bit of if you struggle hard enough you won’t die of blood loss/go unconscious but I can suspend my disbelief enough to get through that. A good book and I’m excited to read more in the future. The performance was fantastic as usual.

Excited to see more

The way this book started, I was confused as it wasn’t what I expected. But oh my god was it a ride? Yes so much fun. Great book. Great narrator. can’t wait for book 2.

Unexpected excellence

excellent narration! slow start to the story, but interesting characters and cool world building hooked me. enjoyed the listen and will be continuing the series.
edit: book two picks up the dropped characters and story lines that book one randomly stops following after the half way point. Worth the read.

interesting and it hooked me
