Corsairs and Cataclysms 1

A Darkwyrlds Tale (Corsairs & Cataclysms, Book 1)

De: Devan Drake

Narrado por: Tom North, Faye Bishop

In the blink of an eye the world changed.

An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy.

Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality.

In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world.

A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters running rampant, violence, strife, and people's darkest urges given free rein. So it has been for those caught up in the Framework's web for thousands of years, and now it was Earth's turn.

None of the above involved Torin Carter directly. The greatest challenge he faced had been the removal of an athletic scholarship due to a dogged shoulder injury.

Paying the bills and finding a way to finish school is what worried him.

He should have been a nobody, just another poor soul swallowed up and spat out by the crazy tumult of an RPG Apocalypse sweeping the planet.

However, a clerical error, and a little bit of interference by interested parties, resulted in him being gifted with an amazing opportunity in this new world order. An extra powerful build, one not available to the rank and file of humanity.

It does have one teeny-tiny drawback, though. The awesome character build he's gifted does mean his species is changed to something mildly demonic in nature. Which could be somewhat problematic.

Plus, his new class is Dungeon Corsair Captain. As the name suggests he is not supposed to be the hero, the opposite in fact, he is supposed to be the villain. His class demands it.

What will he do?

Deny the opportunity and hope things work out as the world is torn apart, throw himself on the mercy of others. Or roll with it, take the bull by the horns and not just survive the coming cataclysm but thrive.

Torin has never been a quitter and he really doesn't fancy dying. Option two it is.

Welcome to the Darkwyrlds.

You'll have the time of your life, or die trying.

Can't wait for more

Great story from this author, can't wait to see where it goes. Likable main crew and love the pirate theme

13 year old sexual power fantasy

Sexual power fantasy and not my cup of tea or even done well. It gets right down cringe worthy at times. I had to stop eventually as I couldn't take it anymore.

Really enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book. I'm looking forward to the next one it drew me in and didn't let me go, and before I knew it, I was at the end credits.

very solid start

this is a solid start to what I hope will be a great series. I love how the author steals clear of the "Nice guy" tropes. The MC is a good man dropped into a helish situation and has to be strong enough not only to survive the new world but the darkness within himself. I'm looking forward to the next book.

5 stars

Another great book by Devan Drake. You will not be disappointed. Also the dual narration really brings the story to life. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Great overal story and world.

i know its a harem lit but the very descriptive sex scenes are cringe and make me wince a little.

Looking forward to book 2.

Enjoyed the other set of Devens books and this one as well. Looking forward to the second book as an Audiable.

an ok story but terrible "relashonships"

the story itself is fine, but the author is really, REALLY cringe when it comes to the flirting and domineering stuff. like discord admin calling people their kitten levels of cringy. it was all pretty bad in that regard. the story itself was good but the main charecter just kinda got worse and worse as the stroy went on and the more the "embraced their evil side" the worse and more cringy the story got in my opinion.

Same ol mc that you read about in every other book of this genre

You make a mc that has the perfect opportunity to be a villain. You make him a pirate. Every single aspect of his character screams villain… I can’t say the same for everyone but the entire reason I even purchased this book was for a pirate slaver… yet instead of taking the perfect opportunity to do something somewhat unique, you immediately fall back on a retarded simp who has dreams of being a hero.

Good Book

The story is excellent! The author is clever and very entertaining. My only complaint about the story is that it's the first book and the characters are already baby crazy. It's a real turn off when the mc has a pregnancy fetish, and it feels weird that this morally dark Grey character wants to be a daddy.
