About this listen
I am not of this world.
It was an ordinary Friday. Dungeons and Dragons with the crew. A few IPAs. Maybe some hummus.
That was all until a careless mistake sent me hurtling into another dimension.
I don't understand everything just yet. With elves, trolls, and some sort of ultimate badass called the Lich King running around, how could I? But what I do understand is this: I have a job to do.
Because for the first time in a long time, people depend on me. And my actions could mean the difference between life and death not just for me, but for all of Zamina.

Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi.

Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

I was just a cop on my beat when the world ended. My last memory was of an alien death ray ripping me from existence. When I woke up in a strange world, I should have just laid low. But, when you see a woman running from slavers. Well, let's just say they got what they deserved. Only problem is that makes enemies—demigods with the power to bind the magically gifted women of Timeria to their will. I can stop them, with powers bestowed by a god. But, they come with a catch; I must bind these women, the Chosen, to my very soul. Just like the demigods I want to stop.

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.

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.

Falling through a portal and becoming a dragon shifter was strange enough. But, when I devoured a demon core and gained access to a forbidden quest system, my life changed forever. Sintar was like Earth in many ways. It had a blue sky, green grass, and air that I could breath. The demon attacks and shifter magic, however, were new. Every man and woman in Sintar had the ability to change their form. And now, that included me. And the gorgeous, silver-haired wolf girl I saved on my first day.

Story
An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

In a world where magic is real, Alex is about to learn that being shot in the head was only the beginning. God has given him a choice: to take the life of the person meant to die that day and forget who he was, or to keep being Alex and transition to a world of magic where God would give him the tools to survive. Alex, an avid fan of fantasy, chooses the latter and is thrown through a black portal into a world he never could have imagined.

Definitely won’t regret picking this up
The beginning of the story is very related to most board game enthusiasts which makes it all the better. The female narration is a nice touch and you can very easily distinguish the characters which is hard for some people to do but this does it very well. Overall it’s a amazing listen that you won’t regret and unwilling to put down. 10/10

good light story
it was a good light story, about a professor of History that likes to play dungeons & dragons. lands in a new world with sexy elves and fights for the cause. there were some parts that did not flow well, but did not interfere with the story. if you're into sexy elves fighting in a new world it's worth a shot.

I really like the world building so far, promising start to a new series.
The narration is very well done, Erin did a great job as always.
The story slowly ramps up with some minor pacing issues, I am really looking forward for book 2

A wonderful start
A great start to what should be a awesome series maybe a bit heavy on the smutty scenes but they still fit well for the target audience only problem I had was the period of rereading that lasts 5-10 min starting at 5:12 left but that should be fixable with a little editing

A fun Isekai into a fantasy world (NSFW Harem)
This is a fun Isekai journey into a world with elves, magic, and an evil Lich lord. The characters, dialog, and plot was enjoyable. Narration was spot on as well. I look forward to book 2! NSFW Harem.

Excellent!! 10/10!!!
This is a story about a History Teacher who loves Dungeons & Dragons getting sucked into a game world. There are no over-the-top stats to skip over or game mechanics to get bogged down by. Just a guy doing what any fan of D&D dreams to do, kick @$$ and save the world. Oh, and of course, have fun with the ladies along the way. The book was excellently written and flowed really well. It didn’t leave me so bored in spots that I’d have to skip over. 10/10 would recommend.
The only problem I had with the book was the narrator, and even then, it wasn’t so much of a problem that I had to quit listening. While Erin did a spot-on job with the characters and accents to bring the characters to life, the general narration gave me a vibe of a mom reading a bedtime story to a toddler.

Despite a few errors, it was a fun listen.
Despite the errors in Chapter 10 where the sentences kept repeating, the overall story is simple yet enjoyable. The story is not too overly convoluted and gets to the point. Erin Bateman's performance gave the ladies quite the charm. Looking forward to the next book.

Portal to another world.
I have been a long time reader of Isekai-ish types of books. This book is not only that but has a well executed harem. I don’t enjoy books that have every chapter explaining the details of the MC doing the deed. It has enough to keep you interested. Although I can’t hear about the Lich King without thinking about that MMO, any story can have a Lich that’s a King. I am looking forward to the next audio book.
Erin Bateman can read me bed time stories any time she wants, keep up the good work.
