Chalgathi: An Apocalypse LitRPG

Elysium's Multiverse, Book 1

De: Ranyhin1

Narrado por: Jay Aaseng

When Earth gets integrated into the vast expanse of a new multiverse, one young man is game to survive—it's in his blood—in this apocalyptic adventure.

Everyone becomes prey when Earth is swallowed up and transmuted to a bestial landscape, the first stage of induction into Elysium's multiverse and a new galaxy in the making. In the blink of any eye, the bloodthirsty creatures of Riven Thane's worst nightmares are unleashed as he; his sister, Allie; and his friend Jose scramble amid the carnage to live another hour.

But on this nothing of a planet, Riven is more special than he knows. He's among a select few with a singular bloodline, and the Elysium system has its eye on Riven in particular. He's already proven his unbeatable will to survive. Now, untapped powers can be his should he succeed at what the multiverse has in store for him.

World be damned, let the games begin: challenging trials of stamina, labyrinthine mazes, and mind-bending puzzles requiring sharp wit and quick thinking. Each consecutive win will bring Riven nearer to an unimaginable undertaking . . . a personalized tutorial in the dungeons of hell itself. And it's just the beginning—Riven is about to unlock the secrets of his past and learn more about his purpose and the dark arts than he ever imagined.

Whatever unholy chaos awaits him back home, he's ready. Because as close to death as he may be, Riven has never felt more alive.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 900,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

One voice can ruin an audiobook

There seems to be some unreasonable aversion to using voice changing tools which leads to some beyond horrible voices in audiobooks but the spider voice in this one is enough that I will not be buying any more books in this series and will be cautious of any narrations by Jay Aaseng. Which is sad because the general voice and others are pretty good. Narrators please just use voice changers if you insist on narrating opposite gender voices. You can literally destroy an otherwise good book.

just ok

The whole thing was just ok. A good run time for the credit and narrator isn't bad.

Quite enjoyable

I quite enjoyed it. Similar to others of this style but, well written, intelligent characters, limited stats reviews.

enjoyed it alot

a pretty solid story from start to finish. no real complaints. can't wait for the next one

Pretty Dark but still humorous at times

As the title says, it has its dark moments but still is funny at times. Close to grim dark but not all the way there. Think of a step or two darker than He Who Fights With Monsters and a step back with its humor. Still a good listen, solid narrator too.

the performance 👏

A great listen with an outstanding performance. I will definitely be listening till the last word

it was enjoyable.

easy listening, and fun to imagine. I would like to play the game, if there was one. it was a little hokie in the beginning. but the more I listened the more enjoyable it became.

Slow burn at the start 

Slow burn at the start of book gets better hints at world building with Guild Hall, all the way, at the end of the book like last 10 minutes kind of cliffhanger

Outstandingly AMAAZIN!!!

Very well performed the story kept me on my edge! Excited to continue in the series. There’s a lot going on and it happens pretty quickly! I love books with grandiose stories and grandiose main characters

The story

I like that it was a unique story for a Lit RPG and how the MC leaned towards the darker side
