About this listen
Two weeks have passed since the System's descent.
Humanity is adapting, some thrive, whilst others struggle to survive.
Arthur Ward has made quite a name for himself as one of the premier healers in all of America. Things are going well. He's growing into his strength and making strides towards unlocking a powerful class. Missing the Tutorial is quickly proving to be the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Unfortunately, peace cannot last. Nefarious groups have started coming out of the woodwork, people with no qualms about what or who they must sacrifice to fulfill their goals. They seem particularly interested in the name Arthur Ward.
Danger abounds, and Arthur must navigate treacherous waters to chart the narrow path to success.
Power is the future's promise. All Arthur needs to do is live long enough to grasp it.
This is the second book in a LitRPG fantasy series with 800,000 views on Royal Road. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, The Primal Hunter, and Road to Mastery!
Expect an MC with multiple magic affinities, Muay Thai, a combination of human progression mixed with monster core consumption, title collection, and no harem.

The World of Atom’on had lost its magic, until the Monaran crashed into its midst. Although no one saw it then, three thousand years of nescient peace had come to an end. With war brewing around on every front, a small spark would be enough to light an inferno. A surprise in the night, high above the Bellomwoods, was all it took to change the world forever. Not only did it change for Benim Arelion, cadet on The Tarantula, entrusted with a deadly mission.
