Unaffiliated Healer

A Fantasy LitRPG Isekai Adventure (Earthen Contenders, Book 4)

By: Jonathan Brooks

Narrated by: Miles Meili

Thaden is built for running dungeons solo, but in order to progress past his current Level, he’s going to have to find some friends rather quickly…

After resolving all the pending SPECIAL Quests that had been plaguing him, Thaden is finally ready to evolve his Class, where he can then continue to Level-up past his current limit. Unfortunately, his current Evolution Assignment is proving to be a bit more difficult than his last one, as it requires him to complete one of the new Intermediate dungeons with a full Raid Party of at least 100 people without any casualties. Throwing money at the problem might’ve worked in the past, but now there’s a complication that makes such a prospect nearly impossible.

The rise of the Contender Guilds.

Thaden has had his run-ins with the Guilds in the past, of course, but while he had been away for a while, the Assimilation System has embraced these Guilds and incorporated them into its mechanics, legitimizing them past the relatively loose groups of Contenders they were before and making them official organizations – with specific Quests to go along with them. With Guild Quests including the completion of Intermediate dungeons and a Ranking system with ongoing awards, the competition is fierce – and no one is willing to risk their Ranking by taking someone not affiliated with their Guild along.

With these obstacles in place, Thaden struggles to find a Guild willing to accept him as a member, even if only temporarily. This is proving harder than it should be, as while his Class is undoubtedly powerful, information about it and the detrimental drawbacks it enforces on any party he participates in is now widely known.

Will he be able to find a Guild inclined to giving him a chance, or will this unaffiliated healer be stuck at his current Level, unable to progress any further?

The story is a great one like how it just take an average guy and builds him up

overall good series get you in gaged and wanting more. the reader was a little off for me but still good enough to listen to. wish would have more changes with characters

Great followup! Its cool to see him teaming up more

Very interesting building unfortunate year cliffhanger ;) excited to keep following when we can though! Very good followup book this series is interesting in how it changes requirements and abides by the new ones each book.

The bridge to an up open world

This is a bridge snow to an open world. People know him and he's not so much afraid of people anymore, but he does recognize his deficiencies. We get to see a new side and regarding the system. Is it the good guy, or is it the bad guy? And what is Nana, in the terms of the systems use? Or the use by the enemy

Amazing story

Even though the main character is still OP it still keeps the story going at a great pace! Can’t wait for the next one!

Fun

Thaden is back and stronger than ever. Unfortunately his class makes him unwanted by guilds. He still needs to do his advancement quest so he goes to the Gilded Glory Guild with a lucrative offer. They love it and he begins running raids with them. He discovers that one of the dungeons they run is a nest of the Adversary and no one will believe him. Before he can enact plans to resolve it, the Adversary attacks. By the skin of his teeth, Thaden wins, but he learns that the world and the System may not be what it seems.

A great installment. Wonderful narrator. Excellent pacing. Steady world with some character growth. Please enjoy

Character progression trough a Video Game mechanics

Loved the story and progression! An OP character who still has challenges both internal and external.

Something creepy is happening here

Love the twits this book took for the Adversary, as always this series is one of my current favorites.
If you read the last one please continue this series as it’s amazing!!!

Love this story.

Brooks has done a fantastic job making this story. I can’t wait for the next part of the series. Thanks for the book.

Way too much stat review

and far too many repetitive automated system messages. The story ends up being only about 70ish percent of the narration.

to many recalculatings in rewards

to many recalculatings it would be nicer if just said after titles and bonuses this is reward.
