About this listen

Daniel's (updated) guide to early retirement, version 2.0:

  1. Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught.)
  2. Hide out in super-exclusive full immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I’m in-game. Still, it’s a huge game, so no problem, right?)
  3. Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain’t bad. We’re just postponing the "live it up" part a bit.)
  4. Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!)

He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy, and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the look-out, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection.

Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a bard MC. Go figure. We’re going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

The author really nails telling the tale. I will by the next in the series.

Great story telling

Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the book but it felt like setup for book three.

Felt like a side quest.
