About this listen
Contains volumes 1–3 of the epic series.
Beat the Demon Lord and save the world? No, thanks!
My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess's love. For me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break.
I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It's a suicide mission. Once exiled, I found that the outside world was drastically different than I had thought. The beautiful women I meet, demons, dragons, and orcs, might be my best shot at surviving the insanity I've been thrown into.
Narrated in duet style.

Story
I expected aging out of the foster care system to be hard. I wasn't expecting it to include finding out I was a Warlock, destined to be hunted by the most powerful Witch Families so they could bind me to a coven of thirteen witches and spend the rest of my life "harvesting mana". Add to that a set of magical resonants that made me an even bigger target to some of those Witch Families, some of which would rather kill me than let a rival get me.

The UEC has been fighting a losing battle against the demonic hordes, forced to surrender more ground every day. But aboard the U.S.S. Shotgun Opera, the Overmaiden—a sixth-generation Ghost AI—has just forged humanity’s perfect weapon and best hope: a supersoldier. The man he used to be is gone, lost with his family to demons on the mining world of Aonus. All that’s left is hate, rage, and unyielding power. Rip, crunch, gore, dismember—the unstoppable juggernaut will slaughter his way through Hell, driven by righteous fury and a singular drive.

My name is Danny Abbott. I went to bed thinking I had just another day at the office waiting for me. Instead, I find myself in Dungeon World, a planet-wide RPG-themed amusement park. The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long gone. Sure, maintenance worker sounds like a weird job to be stuck with—until I find out that it lets me reroll chests, disable traps, and access the park's hidden paths and back halls. Then I realize that the world is my oyster.

Sabotaged in his final game, he found himself shut out of the Dungeon League of America, forced to retire his jersey in shame.

As a C-Tier Lifeblade, Ethan keeps his head down, works hard, and always hits his mark. His skills might not be flashy, but they get the job done—and in SlayerCorp's cutthroat portal acquisitions industry, reliability makes you valuable. He’s built a solid rep as the go-to healer who can hold his own in any situation, with a resume that's earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. But Ethan's biggest challenge isn’t in the dungeons he clears or the creatures he fights. It’s Lily Chen.

Story
My name is Danny Abbott. I went to bed thinking I had just another day at the office waiting for me. Instead, I find myself in Dungeon World, a planet-wide RPG-themed amusement park. The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long gone. Sure, maintenance worker sounds like a weird job to be stuck with—until I find out that it lets me reroll chests, disable traps, and access the park's hidden paths and back halls. Then I realize that the world is my oyster.

Story
My name is Brent, and I'm the proud, new owner of Rootwood Manor. Sure, it's a rundown mansion in the middle of nowhere... but that makes it the perfect place for my magical lair. Ever since the System came to Earth I've aspired to be a powerful wizard! Of course, difficulties crop up. I’ve got to learn to master my new magic, pay down my mortgage, and raise money for the manor’s repair. There’s also dealing with my creepy neighbors, escaping murderous ghosts, and preventing a blood ritual that could spell the end of the world.

Not only will I need to patch the roof, fix the barn, and master my burgeoning magic, but I’ll also need to help our guests adapt to living on Earth!

Join the military and fight the demon hordes or sell his soul to the Corpos. Both options having minimal appeal to a shut-in like Jack. Thanks to the high cost of living, and his sister’s medical expenses, Jack has never given much thought to what he’d want to do with life, always living paycheck to paycheck, scrounging just enough to keep the lights on and his sister safe. However, an Angel presents him with a third option.

I thought the last thing I would have expected while working at the mall during the holiday season was to meet a real elf woman. Then the blue-skinned ogre tore through the mall. The elf and I made a quick escape and ended up in a strange fantasy world. Now, I’m finding out that the elves have been in decline for centuries and are being hunted to extinction for their magical abilities. They need someone to help them. Someone to protect them. Someone with magical powers that could make elves strong like they used to be.

When Dana was killed and resurrected by a necromancer, she didn't know what to expect. She didn't expect to be handed a list of magical items that might cure her if she can find them. She definitely didn't expect the house succubus to come along to service her dangerous needs. And she definitely didn't expect to go head to head with an international organization dedicated to keeping magic out of human hands.

Mc develops in a surprising way. Lots of smut to keep you hooked with the story but brilliantly linked so it’s just spice enough.

Such a great collection
Gilly is best girl just go in knowing that. I ended up buying both omnibus before I finished book one. This has been a great adventure with funny side characters. I highly recommend it worth the buy. Spice is short and sweet and gets the point across without taking up to much time.

Every character in every book you write is insufferable.
I managed 7 chapters of your first book before I could hardly listen anymore. Here we have a completely useless main character that has a single quirky ability that will somehow make him the most powerful character in the entire story by the end. Our first love interest is a fanatical nut job. Main character gets forced to ALMOST do some bad shit, and then we get to your absolute favorite trope. A patheticly weak main character in a world where everyone hates him for something he had no part of, and the only people who treat him somewhat like a decent person are the absolute dregs of society. First harem member introduced is thrust into a sex scene within hours of meeting the main character, teaching the main character how to please a woman because she was bored. Yep that’s the woman I want to be by my side for the rest of my life alright. As for the rest of the world, they are fully aware and acknowledging that our main character was BRAINWASHED AND FORCED into almost committing crimes and yet instead of addressing that, suddenly the entire world just ignores it because the goddess that forced him is a bad guy. As for your main character himself, a weak spineless main character that will spend the first 4 books being barely competent enough not to kill himself with his sword and being protected by the woman that will inevitably force themselves into his life.
