About this listen

Daniel's Guide to Early Retirement:

  1. Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss.
  2. Hide out in super-exclusive Full Immersion Virtual Reality game until the heat is off.
  3. Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up.
  4. Profit.

With all the pesky planning out of the way, Daniel set out to realize his ultimate dream: gaining enough money to buy a tropical island and spend his days playing the violin and RPGs. What could possibly go wrong?

Disclaimer: There shall be no harems in this series. Overpowered, perfect protagonists will not be tolerated and excessive cursing will result in donations to the swear jar.

not often you hear a story with a bard as a main character it's often a caster or some knight as the protagonist.

the story was well written with plenty to keep you interested and wanting to listen to what happens next.
