About this listen
High school senior Silas Bruer is at his last licks of patience with his terrible and painfully underwhelming life.
He is pummeled at school, his girlfriend dumps him, and his piss-poor excuse of a father sends him out on an errand late at night that gets him a stalker on his tail.
To make matters worse, the stalker has a vendetta against him, one that leaves Silas mutilated in an alleyway by a dumpster and a half-eaten pizza from Antonio's Pizza Parlor.
Death by a mysterious skull-faced titan was inevitable but only temporary. When he wakes up again, he is isekai'd to a fantasy world filled with humans, orcs, fae, goblins, and dragons. The world system refers to him as a hero chosen to save humanity's fallen nation from slavery, oppression, and total genocide.
In a land of magic and monsters, survival is a difficult task where underground human refugee camps are hidden markers in the dystopian lands of a once flourishing nation. When the crystal core, an entity keeping the world together, is in a critical state and in need of repair, saving the race at the bottom of the food chain becomes an even harder mission.
Level up, loot specialty items, and defeat the dragon princess to save humanity. Luckily for him, Silas has a strong and zany fae wolf girl to show him the ropes and help bulk up his magitek cyber gear.
The Lone Hero is a LitRPG isekai series with a realistic weak-to-strong MC fighting both internal and external conflicts. Follow Silas on his adventure as he dives into a powerful world terrorized by a dragon empire. Expect plenty of action, a sprinkle of comedy, a dash of slow-burn romance, and nail-biting high stakes.

Story
I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

The aliens didn't conquer Earth. They negotiated exclusive streaming rights instead. Unbeknownst to humanity, the powerful Voltaxians controlled the galaxy, their vast empire fueled by their monopoly on mana. Humanity feared invasion, only to find out the godlike aliens had something far different in mind. The Voltaxians offered a simple deal. Allow them to set up dungeons controlled by living intelligent dungeon cores on Earth to generate mana, and they'd share the wealth.

Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."

Have you ever come across those stories with heroes who knew just how to get things done? The ones who were masters in five different martial arts, and knew ten ways to skin a bear after killing it with their bare hands? Yeah, that wasn’t me. Hell, I had trouble asking a girl out on a date. But someone in clerical must have made an error. Because I got ripped from an airplane on my way home after my last day in the Coast Guard. I mean, come on, I wasn’t even in one of the hardcore branches of the military or anything!

To Viggo, the veil was simply a landmark. Crossing it was considered suicide, and he'd never given much thought to what might lay beyond. Then, his life collapsed around him. Ejected from the military academy that was to have marked the start of his career, disowned by his family, passed over by the gods themselves, Viggo's last chance lay beyond the veil. Yet, from the very beginning, something was deeply troubling about the realm from whence the gods came. Its cities lay in ruins, its lands peopled by lunatics locked into tasks they could not escape.

Fun story with some impressive narration
- By Mr. Lee on 09-20-24
By: Morgan Ranger
The performance was really dramatic and the number of different characters and accents was incredible. Very impressed by the range. At times you couldn’t tell it’s the same voice actor. My one gripe is his rendition of female characters. While it’s narrated by both Gabriel Michael and Melody Muze she only narrated maybe two short parts focused on a specific character. Gabriel Michael did the rest, and very well overall. I just didn’t care for his portrayal of the females. At times they sounded catty when it was clear from the dialogue they weren’t. It grew on me, tho. And despite that, I’m still interested in getting book 2!
Enjoyable, dramatic performance
