About this listen

The nonstop action and antics continue—and the hero-sidekick relationship is turned on its head—in the second installment of this thrilling fantasy series.

When quiet Orrin and his extroverted best friend, Daniel, were transported to a strange RPG-based world, not much changed between them. Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Only when they faced a particularly lethal foe did Orrin step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth—with powers he didn't know he had. Of course, Daniel got all the glory, but Orrin doesn't mind. He's just happy they're both still alive.

However, they are given little time to celebrate before a local authority offers them the chance to explore a newly revealed dungeon. They can hardly refuse, as the adventure would bring them within spitting distance of the woodland realm of the elves, which is currently enduring an attack by the neighboring country of Odrana. So Daniel and Orrin hope to get stronger conquering the dungeon and then lend a hand in the war.

And though he's not typical warrior material, Orrin has his own set of magical skills to bring to the quest. Skills he's surprised to learn shouldn't even exist. And for good reason: it seems his ever-growing abilities have the potential to elevate him far beyond his bestie the hero....

The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

excellent story and easy to follow even after not listening to it for a while.
patiently waiting for the Third book.

the duration of the story

If you came here to see if this book is any good scroll no further! A lot of this genre is very saturated and it's hard to find gems that stick out like this one does. It's up there with he who fights with monsters and primal Hunter.

Nick does amazingly as the narrator as always.

Really enjoyed the first book and the majority of this one.

But with the info and abilities of the characters the end of this book is inexcusable trash.
Even as a half way point it would be pretty bad, but as an end to the book it's just painfully stupid.

I'd say wait for the 3rd book and read them together.
Hopefully the first thing author does is rectify the situation so we don't spend the majority of the third book dealing with the consequences of purposely nerfing his characters for "drama".
