About this listen
The gods chose him. He said no.
After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry....
Fate, however, had another plan.
On his 18th birthday, he is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is "The Fool". Worst of the marks.
Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree...and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires, and try to pay tuition.
There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft...that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.
Explore a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building, and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.
With nearly 10 million views on Royal Road, this popular web serial has been completely revised and relaunched into this definitive version now coming to Audible, narrated by Travis Baldree!

Really great book
I've only just got to part two of this. Really entertaining to listen to. The characters are very easy to relate to.

A good book
A good story line very well narrated also good to see a hero that has an impediment to overcome, can tend to waffle at times but gives it more credence in the long run.
Thanks for an entertaining book

interesting characters
interesting premise, interesting read, but the book ending needs work. What was the conflict he overcame a spell? really?

More Please
Such a wonderful thing when a writer crafts their story in a way that let’s you experience the journey alongside the protagonist. Maybe it was a coincidence of personality overlap, those do happen, but a significant number of times I felt that I was totally in sync with Alexander. I loved it.
And of course Baldree nailed it. A true king amongst voice actors

smart take
this is a assume take on a hero that just does not bend the knee to chases a corse to sacrifice his own life goals but will spend time gaining skills then dealing with the situation that he will have to face. he is helping himself before he looks to help everyone else.

Incredible and delightful
the story writting is brilliantly done for Fantasy lovers but also young enough that adolescents would still enjoy and understand all. incredibly done and Travis Baldtree does an excellent job narrating.
