About this listen

When Pyresouls released, it was a brutal new virtual reality game with a twist: The first to beat the game would win billions of dollars.

But after the Burgon Beast couldn’t be defeated, Pyresouls turned very real and unleashed an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. For many years since, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth where only ancient, guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from Pyresouls.

While defending his bunker with some of the last refugees of humanity, yet another friend loses his life to secure one final hope: an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time.

In a cruel twist of fate, Jacob becomes humanity’s best chance for survival. He takes the plunge into the past of the terrifying, fractured realm of Pyresouls, where every player is out for blood and the monsters are more vicious than anything on Post-Collapse Earth. Armed with knowledge of game mechanics, secret loot, and enemy weaknesses, along with well-honed swordsmanship from years of battle, Jacob has every possible advantage against the competition. But the choices he makes have long-reaching ripple effects on the timeline.

Can Jacob beat the clock while grinding out Levels and manage to avert the apocalypse, or will his every action darken the timeline even further?

This post-apocalyptic gamelit series includes battle, levelling, and gear-enhancing mechanics inspired by the Dark Souls games.

Great story that's not polluted with wokness or ideology. Just pure fantasy, that wasn't predictable.

I like my litRPG to be a bit more on the dark and "realistic" side so the stakes feel real and this series definitely delivers. The MC is sympathetic and the story-progression good. If you want mindless violence and harems, this is not your playground, but if your favorite litRPG series is System Apocalypse, Defiance of the Fall, or one of the other more serious stories, you'll enjoy this one.

Brilliant litRPG!

Read this on kindle ages ago and something prompted me to look for the audiobook recently. Good stuff. I enjoyed, well suffered until I got passably good at, the dark souls games and this book is very heavily inspired by them and does a good job of catching some of the atmosphere.

Narration is great as always with pavi, couple of minor niggles like stymied being pronounced stimmeed (should be st-eye-mead) but nothing major.

So a nice horror lit rpg with an interesting back to the past plot.

I would recommend it and am off to listen to book 2!

Good stuff!
