Death: Genesis 8: An Isekai LitRPG

Death: Genesis, Book 8

By: Nicholas Searcy

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

In pursuit of magical power, a young warrior finds himself waging war on behalf of a subjugated people—and becoming a king—in this dark-fantasy adventure.

Half-human, half-demon, Zeke Blackwood has become a legendary warrior and wielder of mana. To the kobolds he's Ak-toh—Savior. The centaurs call him Spear of the People. Both species have rallied to his side along with beastkin, elves, and other creatures who've sworn allegiance to him. They're willing to sacrifice themselves while he fulfills a quest on behalf of the god Oberon: to be the greatest fighter in the forthcoming apocalyptic battle between good and evil.

But the realm is overrun with malice and cruelty. The Knights of Adontis enslave every species they consider subhuman, the very ones following Zeke. To liberate them, Zeke must unleash his wrath against enemies who wield demonic mana that threatens to corrupt his body and soul. As his kingdom of loyal subjects and soldiers grows larger and more diverse, he'll need to find the balance between reigning as a just ruler and a merciless tyrant.

With every victory, Zeke's strength and skills grow, as does his ability to conjure destructive magic. Torn between his human and demonic natures, he's evolving into something far beyond either. Something unworldly, possessing incalculable power . . . A god.

The eighth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Very consistently good

I have no idea how this man does it, but after 8 books this series is still fresh and very good.

Awesome

Such a great series really brought it to another level with this and if I’m being honest a big step up from the last book this book reminded me of everything i love about this series nonstop action and a unstoppable juggernaut kicking ass and taking names

Amazing as always.

Epic fights! And an amazing story. Hope you’re ready for a war arc. I definitely recommend this book!

MC is a crybaby

There’s enough waffling in this book to start a waffle house . Is wrong is it right does it matter if you’re going to do it anyway? Congrats the demon in his head just sounds like his ex Abby to the point I think they might be the same in a plot twist. Narrator is good as always

Good

The story and pace are good, but I wish it had more city-building and leveling aspects. I can not wait for the next one

love this series cannot wait for the 9th book!!

the world building n the character progression is very good but I do feel the MC should be along alot farther for what he has done !

The bothersome brain worm spirit. Who ruins the book

Don’t like the spirit in his head with the complaining. Writer must have annoying wife. Because no man writes this kind of character in a book without having direct knowledge of marriage.

Such a great series!

The story telling and world building is S+! Fantastic narration. I simply cannot get enough of Zeke’s journey.

Bad moral philosophy and character building

Didn’t want to do it but the dumb moral philosophy and lackluster story just got to be too annoying. Performance was well done.

Dear author

Stop with all the waffling fake angst about killing. Also kill off the mind demon thing or learn to make her come across as less of a judgmental asshole that should be killed the same way as all the slavers.

The entire book is POV jumping and terrible moral pounding only to be rebutted 3 min later by the counter argument. I’d rather the author did the same thing other bad LitRPG authors do to pad the books. Read stats so I can just skip them.
