About this listen

A new Founder marked with otherworldly power. An epic quest to build a sanctum settlement. A fabled class that wields monstrous magic.

The Founders were the first marked, and they used those powers to build kingdoms, subjugate the land, and enrich themselves. They will not suffer another to join their ranks.

Lost in a world with levels, stats, and monsters, Hal fights to survive in an unforgiving land, and to escape execution from its rulers. Ingenuity and courage won’t be enough. With marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm. He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within. To fight monsters, one has to risk becoming a monster...if he can survive long enough to level up.

Freedom and safety cannot be achieved alone. Only by forging bonds with fellow adventurers and monsters alike do Hal and his would-be kingdom have any chance of surviving the hazardous realm.

Beastborne in an isekai litRPG adventure series full of dungeon crawling, spell-slinging action, and deep magic systems.

Ok full disclosure I bought this because I work alone ( well I work with K9's who are noisy and don't do audio books) I searched Long listening....and I got hooked and pre-ordered the 2nd book. My 14 yr old son is a D&D player with his pals I never got the attraction but OMG anything is up for grabs in this fantasy realm.
You may struggle with the upgrade prompts being vocalised but that aside , just let yourself go and enjoy the ride along.

Please give this time you'll get it.

Worth every minute spent listening, I knew I'd be getting the next book long before I finished this one, highly recommend.

Great listen

Entertaining story, although not on par with HWFM and Defiance.
The depth of character is lacking a bit. The flow of the story gets a 7/10.
I am however looking forward to the next book, and hoping for greatness.

Good story, great narration

I suffer with ADHD so I like to put on an audiobook on a 30 min timer before bed helps me fall asleep however with this particular book I found myself still awake 30 mins later extending the timer 3-4 times a night simply enraptured lest then 4 days later and more reading during the day I sit here wondering where the time went and wishing there was more to listen to

i wish i didn't have to sleep

1. Vorax
2. Stumpy
3. Unnamed treant
4. Unnamed slime
5. 37

It gets better
