Body Horror

A LitRPG Adventure (Crimson Hydra, Book 2)

De: Joshua Rettew

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

Against all odds, former geneticist Benny White has survived the first Wave of the Game of Souls. But the rewards have come at a cost, and the games are far from over.

New enemies have been introduced with eyes set on those calling the Blackstone Keep home. Not only do the contestants have to struggle against the Arketh-Takshi—a group of intergalactic vampiric pirates residing within scattered portals—but also with private outworlder factions whose motivations are anything but clear.

Not to mention some threats that originate a little closer to home.

With the board stacked against him, and a target on his back, will Benny have the strength to pay the price of survival to become a powerful cultivator and a bulwark for his people? Or will the cost prove too high, leaving him nothing but a rampaging monster, devoid of humanity?

The stage has been reset. The contestants stand ready. The galaxy watches on.

Welcome back to the Game of Souls.

Intense LitRPG adventure high-stakes & dark humor!

Joshua Rettew crafts an intense LitRPG adventure with Body Horror, packed with high-stakes action and dark humor. Benny’s struggle against vampiric pirates and hidden threats kept me engaged, while Eric Michael Summerer’s narration brought the story to life.

Very good. But now we have to wait!

very strong book series so far. really enjoy books like this one, and this one, for me personally, ranks near the top of all the series that are similar out there. I don't like psychopath main characters and side characters that matter. this has that and progression that is very interesting and keeps you hooked. can't wait for the next book.

You thought you could catch a break?

Ever increasing tensions and an inability to catch a break? you will save the galaxy and you’ll do on the worst possible footing at all times. forever. I think the book is being rushed a little with the ever increasing actions and being put into worse and worse and worse situations at all times, but it’s a fun book. Can’t wait for next one.

interestesting plot, and was reallly good.

most times the characters growth was to fast and you'd loose track of abilities.

I'm in the Meat fan club.

If you liked the first book, you'll find plenty to enjoy about this one. We made some new friends, gained some new powers, and may or may not have lost some in the process (no spoilers!).

A horror or a power

Benny is now even more dangerous to the show runners, a powerhouse in his own right. I found it funny that the people in charge are clueless about what is happening to Benny. I also think that moderator 43 was the first person in charge on Benny, who was so mean to him at the start of the first book.

Amazing!

This second book was very interesting lots of content given and information updated. Getting more facts on this story’s world and major players in it. Crazy how now the mc is once again something totally different from what he began as. Looking forward to what happens next!

very good book

I love how Benny, and his friends is growing stronger, but struggling. it's a great book listen to

I need book 3 now!

I strictly listen to audiobooks these days and ive gone through the litrpg catalog, only avoiding three really long seemingly not my style series. Ill give yiu a hint, i started with DCC and am 115 books into the genre. This is top tier, alongside RaaDT and Chrysallis im not sure which release im looking forward to the most. Seriously check out this series if youre into really dope novels.

I like that it's based on how a computer game would be made and played.

So who's making the game based upon these books? Make it be from the perspective of either a different world or one of the other top 5.
