Upgraded: The Infinity Construct, Book 2

A LitRPG Apocalyptic System Cultivation Series

De: Burkley Orion Smith

Narrado por: Kyle Snyder

Ash is back, and more screwed than ever! Join our reluctant hero and his growing band of ragtag friends as they fight for the very future of mankind in book two of the Infinity Construct series.

After The Corruptor tracks him back to Darkwood Village, Sabashton soon finds himself forced to hold off an entire army by himself while his friends help the terrified villagers flee. With nowhere to turn, they head for the only place left for them to run—his soon-to-be over-crowded magical glade.

Memphis and Sy join with Grom, Tash, and Lady V as they follow Ash into the untamed wilds of Infinity to locate V's secret gateway to hell, hidden deep inside the orcish wastelands of the north. Far beyond the enchantment of the Empire's protected roads they find new potential allies among the woodland fae of Queen Tressaria and her fairy kingdom. To earn the Queen's trust, Sabashton must risk his scan being trapped in an eternity of suffering by attempting the deadly Trial of Immortals.

Join our heroes as they venture into the unknown heartlands of infinity. They find a world filled with everything from baby giants to tiny fae and all manner of strange and magical curiosities. With the future of Infinity and the soul of humanity on the line, Ash will do everything he can to become strong enough to reach the key buried within the deepest bowels of hell. The only problem is, the more powerful he becomes, the more power he's starting to crave.

Love the characters!

Really enjoy listening to this story. The narrator really brings the world, and the people in it, to life in vivid detail.

The epic tale continues into Book 2!!!

Book 1 was amazing and I was super excited to listen to Book 2 - and I wasn't let down at all! The epic story continues, narrated by the same narrator in Book 1, that just sucks you and keeps you engaged from start to finish. So many twist and turns, and so detailed that you can almost visually see them as you listen! Highly recommend both Book 1 and Book 2!

Good Story

I purchased and listened to this on Audible books.
I really liked the Story and realize that the MC Sebastián is a very young man from our tomes, but I wish the Swearing and he grew more advanced would be cut back. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Great Continuation

I thoroughly enjoyed how the story progressed. It took everything I liked about the first and upped the ante. The stakes seem higher, the characters are more fleshed out and I'm really looking forward to the next one.

A Thrilling Ride into Apocalypse and Cultivation

Narrated by the talented Kyle Snyder, this audiobook continues the enthralling journey of Ash and his unlikely companions as they grapple with escalating challenges and fight for the survival of humanity.

In "Upgraded," the plot escalates dramatically as the Corruptor closes in on Ash, leading him and his band of allies back to Darkwood Village. The story picks up with Sabashton, the reluctant hero, facing insurmountable odds as he single-handedly confronts an advancing army while his friends assist the villagers' escape. With their options dwindling, they seek refuge in Sabashton's magical glade, which is on the verge of becoming overcrowded.

As the stakes rise, Memphis, Sy, Grom, Tash, and Lady V unite to venture into the uncharted territories of Infinity. Their goal: to locate V's hidden gateway to hell, a perilous journey that takes them through the orcish wastelands of the north and introduces them to potential allies, including the enigmatic Queen Tressaria and her fairy kingdom. To gain the Queen's trust and secure her aid, Sabashton faces the daunting Trial of Immortals, a test that could lead to eternal suffering.

As the heroes delve deeper into the heartlands of Infinity, they encounter a world teeming with fantastical creatures and magical wonders. From diminutive fae to towering giants, the land is a tapestry of enchanting curiosities. With the fate of both Infinity and humanity hanging in the balance, Ash must harness his growing power to unlock a hidden key nestled within the depths of hell. Yet, as he becomes more formidable, an insatiable craving for power threatens to consume him.

Kyle Snyder's narration of "Upgraded" is a masterful performance that breathes life into the characters and their adventures. His ability to switch between different voices and capture the essence of each character adds depth and immersion to the listening experience. Snyder's delivery maintains a perfect pace, ensuring that action-packed sequences and emotional moments are portrayed with the right amount of intensity. The audiobook's production quality is top-notch, enhancing the overall enjoyment.

Smith's storytelling prowess shines through in the sequel, as he takes everything that was beloved in the first book and amplifies it. The characters, previously introduced in the series, are now more intricately developed, with their motivations, fears, and growth explored in greater depth. Sabashton's internal struggles with power and its consequences add a layer of complexity to his character, making him more relatable and engaging. The new additions to the cast, such as Queen Tressaria and her fairy kingdom, introduce fresh dynamics and alliances that enrich the plot.

The world-building in "Upgraded" is an absolute triumph. Smith paints a vivid and enchanting landscape within Infinity, replete with a diverse array of creatures, landscapes, and magical phenomena. The seamless blend of the known and the unknown fosters an immersive experience that ignites the listener's imagination. The intricacies of the magic system and the complexities of the realms Ash and his companions traverse are intricately woven into the narrative, enhancing the overall sense of wonder.

Upgraded takes the foundations laid in the first installment and elevates them to new heights. Burkley Orion Smith's skillful storytelling, combined with Kyle Snyder's excellent narration, delivers an audiobook that captures the essence of adventure, growth, and impending catastrophe. The characters' emotional journeys, the intricacies of the fantastical world, and the mounting tension create an unputdownable experience that will leave listeners eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Upgraded is an audiobook that redefines the LitRPG and cultivation genres, immersing listeners in a realm where danger, magic, and humanity's fate intertwine. It is a journey worth embarking upon, although the content is not suitable for minors due to its mature themes.
