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!

It is action packed by definition of story progression, but if you were like me and assumed it was similar to other books mentioned in the description you are wrong, it is very slow, very little fights and "action" besides the last hour. Overall this book is just a laying the ground work for the next books which isn't so bad but i feel very mislead by the description and quite annoyed, We have a very weak and poor orphan 21 year old man child as a MC. This series will eventually turn into something similar to Primal Hunter, however this book is the complete opposite of every book mentioned.

Dislike the use of action packed

Great performance. And even though the start was rocky. The overall story is hilarious, well written, and a general pleasure to listen too.

Hell of a writer!

Honestly, this is a negative review.

Now I have almost nothing bad to say about the book, amazingly realistic world and characters, isn’t your basic ’kill stuff and get op’. I’d say it’s similar to ‘He who fights monsters’ with how much thought has gone into the city/world and the mechanics of the ‘magic’ system.

Now to be fair I only made it 5 or so hours in, and this is because of 1 thing I can’t stand. In a world completely different to earth, with good and fleshed out lore, the author decided to curse the name of Jesus Christ. Many won’t find this an issue and that’s okay, normally I wouldn’t be upset by this and just move on. But why? There is no reason I can think of that anyone from that world would cuss to Him if He never existed in that world’s lore.

Anyhow, good book and I hope the rest of you enjoy it, I’m honestly sad to pass this one up…

Love it

Quite liked the overall story, only real complaint is that it fell apart on the final chapters.
At the start liked the narrator, 3/4 through his deep moans became too much and all the characters sound the same. Plan to drop this.

Pretty good

Cool, dark but cool, the story is engaging and the characters lovable or hateable. I have to know what's happened to Bloodshed.

Narration is great and the character voices distinct and on point.

So engaging

very funny and interesting tempo. comfortable relatable situations at the start, while at the same time not being predictable the whole world and magic/ability set up is well envisioned. and there's a really interesting bigger world and history developing in the back ground this should be a fantastic new series if the author can keep it up. I really look forward to the next part and wish it was out now.

absoloutly phenominal
