About this listen
Some men are born heroes. Others have heroism thrust upon them…
Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved.
That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair.
Getting used to a new world is tough. It’s even tougher when you’re surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a System AI that seems as interested in causing trouble as helping... or maybe just wasn't interested in being assigned yet another companion in the first place.
Danny must adapt fast, turn on the charm, and learn to embrace his given Class if he hopes to master it and survive this dangerous new place.
But he has a knack for finding trouble. Gifted what seems like an innocent ancient lute after making a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of mysterious factions who seek to claim its power.
It's up to him, Screenie, and his new barbaric friend, Curr, to uncover the truth and become the heroes nobody knew they needed. And maybe, just maybe, Danny will finally find a place where he belongs. Perhaps, even where he'll thrive.
Jump into this fantasy isekai LitRPG Adventure filled with unforgettable characters, loveable companions, unlikely heroes, slow-build power progression, slice-of-life elements, and plenty of laughs. It's perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Off to be the Wizard, and Kings of the Wyld!
Come for the adventure. Stay for the laughs.

Sexy assassins plus Soundbooth? What more could you want!?
This novel was certainly imaginative and hearing @FiatCelebrity 🎶sing was🎧 one hell of an experience.
I loved the ♥️companionship shared between🪓 Curr the barbarian and outcast Danny who is killed early on after a direct punch to the face.
And yet the story continues...
The audio work in this book is second to none thanks to the ever creative methods that #SoundboothTheater employ to standout.
I loved the 🔊 narration too, all the 🎙️ voice actors were exceptional -- their dynamic range 🎶 was simply superb.
The vocal work really helps set the scene for what is a 🌎 psychological test for our MC.
Curr leads Danny through an ever-changing world BUT a Scottish voice - ever present in Danny's mind - constantly criticises him to humorous avail... it is at times, hilarious.
For any #Soundbooth listener this one is another 🎳 ten-pin bowling strike - it's absolutely brilliant.
For those who have enjoyed any of #SounboothTheater's incredible back catalogue of audiobooks, this one's for you.
