About this listen

Something went wrong. Something went very wrong….

Against his will, Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth, to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world. Unfortunately for him, something occurred during his transference into the “Training” program, and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal.

Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden managed to survive, only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and no way to defend himself. Worst of all, the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge, which ended up sticking him with a Support-based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities. As an Assistant Healer, none of his spells did any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to!

But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon. Sure, all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean when he seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?

This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-combat Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

good story but the voice was dull

I enjoyed the story but struggled to listen to the narrator. His voice was droning and monotoned. It almost put me to sleep couple time and was just irritating after the first chapter

Theme shift by end of vol 2

In vol 1, he's a healer with tank ability aka shield mage but by end of vol 2, he's no different than a mage with life drain and shield bash and stat buffs. also he goes solo so not a party theme story.

Droning monotone.

The premise of the story is good but its absolutely ruined by this narrator. He drones on in a monotone and slightly elongates the hard vowels. Id almost say this was an AI voice but the tone is too consistent for it to be anything over than a narrator phoning it in for a paycheck.

Audible wont let me return this book.
Get it on kindle instead, save your self from the monotoney of Miles

Fairly good story but the ending doesnt make much sense

An average paced story line that has some good elements to it. Some of the characters internal thinking is flawed, but at least most of the obvious issues get addressed throughout the storyline. Narrorator sounds like Christopher Walken but not in a good way, so it was a bit hard to listen to.

A bit long winded, but good

Really enjoyed the story. It was a bit long-winded with the leveling up and other things like that, but otherwise, it was an interesting story. Looking forward to listening to the next book.

Awesome new adventure!

I loved the new character and lore building. I found the book a bit short though, that’s not a good thing, I was invested and then it’s over. I also didn’t like the weird pacing quirk the narrator had. His sentences end with this odd sadness downturn that ends up making a strong character sound weak and whiny… suuuper whiny! It was okay when I settled my head and tried to just get lost in the story, only to have him bring me out of that zone with this odd robotic slowdown and tonal dip. I loved how otherwise animated he was and his attempt at voicing various characters was good. But that quirky narration style had my eye twitching the whole way thru.
