About this listen

Twenty-five-year-old janitor-turned-professional gamer John is so good at the latest virtual reality fantasy game that he attracts the attention of an imprisoned, undead magical beast while competing in the Kingdoms & Valor World Championship.

Murdered in his gaming chair and summoned to another world full of magic and wonder, John is given a choice: inherit the beast’s power and work to free it, or die. Accepting the undead creature’s power and a second chance at life, John is given a new name: Grim.

As a new man with the ability to use death magic, Grim sets off into the Ashen Plane to fulfill his quest. Join him as he befriends a mutated orc, fights an army of gnolls, and works to free his patron in this first book of the LitRPG series The Ashen Plane.

When I saw the cover I though it was going to be a meat head barbarian character, but instead it was an gaming - janitor tasked to assist an imprisoned being. He gets some death magic and an orc friend to help in his quest.

A nice story of making friends and defeating the enemy.

A bright new start to series with a lot of potential, I particularly liked the world and lore building, and you’ve got to love the janitor who gets the chance to kick ass!

This book was a lot of fun to listen to - it's quite fast paced so I'll definitely need another listen to take in all the details, but I had a really good time with it. I expected it to have a serious tone and the book doesn't pull its punches on the dramatic moments, but it's also quite witty. Look forward to checking out other books in the series!

It's a lot of fun!
