About this listen

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.

She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.

She might not be a Hero - but if she can fake it long enough, she might still be able to save the world.

I've loved all of Andrew Rowe's works so far, and this is no exception. It is a really amusing story, in a world that I'm sure is familiar to almost any gaming fan.

I first thought it would be a little to short, at just over 6 hours, but no, it ended up being the perfect length for the story.

Well worth listening to.

An excellent and hilarious story

Wonderful, laugh out loud funny! A must read for RPG fans everywhere, in particular anyone who is a Zelda fan. This pokes just the right amount of fun at the fantasy RPG genre while still having an entertaining storyline. I absolutely loved it!

Take this, it's not safe to go alone.

Couldn’t stop listening at every opportunity- what’s the audio version of a page turner? Some genuine comedy moments and poignancy intermixed with a great DND framework
