Matt plans to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and murdered his parents. But his dreams are crushed when his Tier 1 Talent is rated as detrimental and no guild or group will take him. Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple. They give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends. With their recommendation and a stolen Skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. Maybe then, he can get vengeance he seeks.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Rob didn't think of himself as anyone special, but when a pitch-black portal tried to wrap his best friend in chains, he stepped up without thinking and found himself ensnared instead. His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note in his pocket stating: "Good luck." After being thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth.

Publisher's Summary
The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.
In his pursuit of power, Joe fights alongside his team, completes quests, and delves into the mysteries of his class, which he quickly discovers can be practiced only in secret. Ultimately, his goal is to complete every mission, master every ability, and learn all of the world's secrets. All he has to do is survive long enough to make that happen.

Decent but not great
This is the second time I've listened to this audiobook. The first time, many years ago, I rated much higher in comparison to what else was around at the time. Unfortunately in 2023 there's better stuff out there, hence the four star rating.
The story is decent, but not brilliant. Worldbuilding is sufficient, but not mind blowing. Narration is mediocre (I'm not a huge fan of Vikas Adam - his voices are overly dramatic and full of weird pauses).
On the upside, I've never read a book about a ritualist before, which is cool. It was an interesting, more cerebral take on the litRPG genre.
Story centres around a paraplegic who choses to start his life again in a VR game. He gets a unique class (Ritualist) and the book goes forward from there.
Unfortunately, the world feels dead, as if there's nothing beyond the confines of the story. For example, though there are 'millions of players' we see only a few, all directly related to helping or hindering the MC in some way.
Additionally, the 'game' wouldn't actually function as a particularly successful game in real life, with quests and permanent rewards that dramatically favor early adopters over those that join later. IMHO, the book would have worked better if the MC had been teleported to a new world.
So yeah, decent but not great. Listen if you're a huge fan of Krout, but otherwise there's better out there.

A great tale of the underdog overcoming challenge
Wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this book, the story starts with the protagonist in what seems like a less than opportune situation.
No Spoilers of course, but it kept me on the edge of my seat listening to how he used the skills he had to think and get out of difficult situations. The story pays respect to someone who observes the world and uses strategy to overcome adversity.
The narrator has a great deal of pitch and range making each character seem unique
A great story and highly recommended

decent read for the genre
plenty of nods to previous works and things taken or learned from the dungeon series. possibly even incorporated into a combined universe, its a fun book bases around playing a vr mmorpg. usual broken class and hilarity ensues

Amazing narrator, cool adventure,terrible prologue
Prologue with the terrible Elon Musk references almost made me refund the book right there. Just... why? It was cringy as heck. Couldn't you have just made up your own tech tycoon without really weird references?
It's like the author was learning to write and the skill only reached a reasonable level a couple of chapters in. But then it gets good, so I'm happy with my purchase after all. It's a fun adventure full of surprises and ridiculous turns of events.
I absolutely love the narrator and I really wish he was the one narrating the whole series. His voices are so awesome I miss them already...

More adventures in the world of CAL
While the prologue is very poor, it does show how Cal is released. Once you get past the prologue and the first couple of chapters, the story picks up and immerses you in the game world. There are a couple of cameos from the divine dungeon series and several nods to the chronicals. I am keen to find out where this goes.
While Vikas Adam is far from my favourite narrator, he does a masterful performance on this one and really adds to the experience.
Don't expect god powered characters and world shaking events, this is the story of fairly average modern people who believe they are playing a game. This is the start with only a few thousand players, but I expect that things are going to pick up and expand rapidly as the game advances.

Dakota you've done it again
I'm torn, lost or at the very least upset.
How am I supposed to wait for book 2 or am I waiting for the next in the Devine dungeon series .... Aaahhh
Seriously though the story was throughly engaging and my only comment for improvement would be greater side character background, this is reinforced by hearing Hanse's (Devine dungeon - and sorry if I spelt that wrong) constantly due to the brilliant Vikas Adam.
On that Vikas has done another lovely job with the voice acting adding subtlety and depth at the perfect points.
If you've read the DD series you'll love the subtle .... Or not so subtle references but if not a: I highly recommend them that are so much fun b: it won't make a difference as this is an awesome story none the less.
Best enjoyed with red wine or scotch and a solid serving of relaxation.
Cheers all,
Macca
