You Are Summoned

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Dean Henegar

Narrado por: Eric Jason Martin

Ever wonder what it's like be a disposable Minion forced onto Quests by Summoners?

It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans for him.

Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners.

At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

Bestseller Dean Henegar returns with this unique spin on isekai LitRPG, about a MC turned into a summon minion who has to complete tasks for random summoners, allowing for a variety of adventures, foes, and missions as he progresses in power each time... But is any of it random?

so freaking awesome will get you summon.

from start to finish actions. when some one summons what is it. just someone made of magic or are they more. here we find an answer. they are summoned from worlds who can only stay as long as the magic holds and/or would be death. as we follow along with the mc as he tries to balance his life.

i would definitely recommend and cant wait for the second book

Fun and funny

I think the cover tells you exactly what you're gonna get on this one. Unexpecting doofus enters another world and quickly becomes acquainted with all it has to offer. Fun stuff!

Really interesting twist on LitRPG

I really enjoyed this story, it had an interesting and fun story to explain the LitRPG premise. Would recommend.

Worth it!

A well written fun story with a creative new take. Looking forward to the next one!!

Synopsis implied a different story than was written

Story was good, but not what I was expecting. The synopsis only addressed the first half (quarter?) of the book. I was expecting it to be more in and out than in. The character had a campaign summoning which I didn’t expect.

I’d really rate it 4 stars except for the disconnect.

Overall the story was reasonable. The character made decisions based on the info available to him. He was not making stupid decisions to drive the story.

I enjoyed the story, but it was like buying a cookie and expecting chocolate chip and got raisin instead.

looking forward to the other books

a new twist in the litrpg genre. very interesting premise. great storytelling, story moves along a decent pace and doesn't get stuck for half the book like some other authors are prone to do.

Spoiler alert

Why didn’t he print blueprints on his phone and then make the gnomes more powerful with years of human engineering and technology

On my way to maybe die again…

Someone was pounding on the door and it was 3am. Who would be here that early? Danny checked the camera on the door and saw three people dressed in black business suits. Two of them were big body builder type guys and another was a woman. He had been kind of expecting this and was happy he had replaced the deadbolt screws with longer ones. Danny grabbed his go bag, pulled open his window and started climbing down the fire escape.

As he landed below, he heard the door to his apartment give way. When Danny was starting to turn, a man stepped out from behind the dumpster and said “Stop where you are, we are here to help you”. This man was dressed like the others but he had on a bowler hat. He started to run out of the alley, but three more of the thugs in black suits cut off his escape. Danny had little time, the three from the door were headed down the fire escape. He needed to get past the man by the dumpster and then try to bull rush the ones at the end of the alley to make his break.

He kicked the bowler man in the gut and kneed him in the chin and broke for the end of the alley. Danny saw now that two of the men had pistols and one was on his phone. This wasn’t going to be easy to escape this time. Danny had a bit of an advantage, he reached into his core to the mana (magic) that rested there. He cast a protection spell around himself and he glowed red momentarily. He cast a summons and a man in chainmail came through. Danny ordered him to attack the three. One went down before the man in chainmail was gunned down. He opened another portal, this time a pair of goblins came through with spears. Danny didn’t even need to ask them to attack, they just did out of their own blood-lust. Danny started to run to end of the alley, when he felt two bullets rip through him. He was dying with not enough mana left to heal himself. The woman from the front door came up to him and told him, she wouldn’t let him suffer.

The system had to choose another candidate, and it found Rico. He works at an insurance company. After his boss talked to him about making sure he meets his monthly quota, he needs an aspirin. As his neighbor is grabbing him one, Rico starts to see spots and he wonders if he is having a stroke. A big burst of pain slammed into him and he hears “link established and you are summoned”. Since it is a first summons, Rico hears that since it is his first summons, he is allowed to ask one question. He asks a bunch of questions and is forced into silence. The voice tells him that he is a level zero summons, it is related to combat related and that he didn’t have any weapons. He would be clothed in his work clothes. A blue oval appeared and he was forced to walk through. Rico appeared in a clearing in the forest. A young mage tells him to stop the orc. Here Rico was in his company polo and khakis against a large armor wearing orc with a giant axe. He was forced to stand in place as the orc attacked. With no weapons, and forced compliance, he punched the orc. The orc sliced him in two. He appeared back in a vast darkness with the voice. The voice said that his performance was abysmal and his rewards would reflect a level zero summons at the abysmal level. Rico was then returned to his world. His neighbor found some ibuprofen. He then asked Rico why he was naked. Rico suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly started getting dressed. He realized that he had a small leather pouch in his hand and threw it in his pocket. His boss came by as he was buttoning his pants. She called HR. HR and security came to his desk told him he was fired and asked him to leave. And so it begins…

His life is not his own

At the start, I felt really sorry for Rico because he got fired because when he got pulled away but his clothes stayed. He eventually he made it work and brought new ideas about summons to that world. I definitely will follow this series.

Great new idea!!

Great premise and great book. Must read!!! I was intrigued but the book delivered in spades!
