About this listen

A realm aside from our own. The center of the realities. Home to every spectrum of magic.

From the beautiful to the terrible, it was all held in delicate balance by the Eternal Emperor and his immortal children. For 10,000 years, the empire was the bastion that protected the sentient races from the darkness, but the revolution, and the War of the Gods has changed all that . . .

Jax seems like a regular guy, except that he fights creatures from a strange place called the UnderVerse in his sleep, leaving him covered in horrific scars when he wakes up. The mysterious disappearance of his brother five years prior has forced Jax into a holding pattern, with a job he tolerates, a girl he kinda, sorta loves . . . until he's kidnapped and given a stark choice by his asshat of a father: Go to the UnderVerse in reality, travel to the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of reality, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home . . .

Or die, slowly.

That's the good news. The bad is that he has to survive the arena first, to prove his right to go. Twelve will enter, only one can leave . . .

It very difficult sometimes to understant readers words. They really slurred and accented, wery heavy to listen. Takes much efford to keep listening in story.

Good story, but i just cant understand reader

An energetic narration brings colour to the characters, and a potty mouthed main character provides plenty of action. You may find the audible narration a bit strange if you are just used to monotonous US accents. Lots of Stats once Jaxx gets into the new world. This book got me back into reading print after listening , good value for money too at 20+ hrs .
Watch out for Python and Pratchett Easter eggs and some laugh out loud sarcasm .

Brilliant Story

I wasn’t sure to start but this is one of the best LITRPG stories I’ve read or listened to.

Fantastic.

I yaiskt myself...

Decided to start from the beginning of Jez’s catalogue after listening to age of stone, bronze and iron.

This has a great introduction and character build as in his other LITRPG novels.

Narration however…

While energetic and performance rich, the accents aren’t the best. It’s hard to discern where anyone comes from.

Australian or Dick Van Dykes London Cockney?

Romanian or Sean Connery’s light Scottish rogue?

I’ll let you decide, but the story is great if you can stomach the narration

Great story - Accents questionable
