About this listen

Valencion has fallen. The Monarch has been dethroned. Will you slay the five betrayers and restore the realm or escape the ruler’s grasp?

I don’t know how I ended up in a dark, battle-locked realm, fighting monsters and struggling to survive, but I refused to give up and die. Snatched from death by the mysterious and untrustworthy Monarch, imprisoned ruler and god of the realm, I am ordered to liberate her. To do so, I must prevail against unspeakable horrors and slay the five betrayers to retrieve their golden coins—the keys to her prison.

Do that, and I will receive freedom, power, and wealth beyond measure. Too bad I don’t believe in the Monarch’s promises.

I cannot trust the rigged deal I’m trapped in, but I have plans to free myself. Thankfully, I won’t have to fight alone. A snow oni banished from the battlefields that defined her life, a half-elf merchant turned fire mage, and a slime knight determined to uphold her chivalry and honor will join my quest. Guided by a blind shrine keeper, the Monarch’s proxy, we aim to slay the betrayers and free ourselves from the ruler’s grasp.

When you’re trapped in a crooked game run by a vengeful god, the only things you trust are the women at your side and the weapon in your hand.

Great Story, Narration needs some work.

Another great story from M.E. Thorne, it gives you that Soulsborne feel without getting overly gritty. Loot boxes for gear is just sadistic but it's a fun concept.

As for the narration, Dylan Wheeler knocked it out of the park, his performance was full of energy and feeling.
Ingrid Aust however feels like she didn't want to be there, whilst it does get better when other characters are pulled in all of her lines have no emotional inflection, she would do amazing with readings of serious works or historical books but for a slice of life/emotion driven story it falls flat.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
