Panu: An Apocalypse LitRPG

Elysium's Multiverse, Book 2

By: Ranyhin1

Narrated by: Jay Aaseng

Elysium's designs are taking shape, and its sights are now set on a young man with a malignant new gift . . . as this grimdark LitRPG series continues.

Hell was no match for Riven Thane. He crushed every trial and escaped with two demon minions—and his life. At least, so to speak. Riven isn't so much alive as he is undead. Now, discovering his true self as a pureblooded vampire, he's feeling a little guilty and a lot hungry in this brand-new world. And what a world it is.

Earth as Riven knew it has merged with Zazir and Elhisterii to form the post-apocalyptic creation of the Elysium known as Panu. Here, errant goblins and vulnerable elves battle it out, ungodly monsters spawn like crazy, suicide zombies run wild, and the streets are strewn with human remains.

On a mission to find his sister, Allie—out there somewhere battling her own demons—Riven quickly learns that every time he kills his bloodlust only increases, bringing him ever closer to becoming a full-blown harbinger of doom. But maybe a vampiric hero is just what this mad new world needs.

Riven is embracing his destiny. He can feel it. His ancient ancestors are calling him home.

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

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I was not disappointed with this 2nd book in the series! I can not wait for the next book to come out as I didn't want this one to end!

Way better than first book

The first book was okay, it hooked me enough to get me to invest further in the series. But this dark fantasy really takes off in this book. The magic system feels more developed, main charicter has more growth, enemies seem better balanced, and the writer seems to have done an amazing job.

Mixed bag

Narrator is ok most of his voices sounded nasally and annoying to me though and the interactions between the characters are cute and playful to almost a sickening degree and then a fight happens then they start spitting profanity and how they’ll defile their enemies at somewhat cartoonish levels (mostly just one character) but even with all that I overall think it’s interesting and will probably buy the next book

Officially a fan of the series

Book 1 was a good start book 2 gave us a peek at where this whole story is going and I am here for it

Sorry, would be a 5 star story if:

The end wasn’t such a yapfest. Like holy moly, adds absolutely nothing to the story just literally yap yap yap yap yap yap like get on with the story bruh

What an ending

Loving the series so far. This entry tones down the grim dark a bit, but that isn’t a complaint. Overall this story feels like a set up to an excellent ending. A great way to introduce us to Panu, but I’m hoping the third book feels a bit more like the first.

kinda took a minute.

its an ok book. it took a minute before a better look at the whole positive and negative alighnments worked. the whole ending kind reminds me of the lst book where he got a guild building, but he didnt use it at all in this one. It never realy got explained that the mc was gonna double cross after they betrayed him. I thought it would have been intetesting to know wht he was thinking. all in all im interested in the next book but i dont think mc has done all tht much like to be among top on the entire new planet but thats just me though.

Awesome progression and character growth

I loved the way riven and his demons grew and fleshed out their desires and drives throughout this book

loved it

from start to finish this book impressed. this series is shaping up to be something special

The ending

I'm not sure if I like or hate the ending. It definitely gives you a good idea on where this series is heading though.
