About this listen
Do you like…kobolds?
Do you like…necromancers?
Do you like…pineapple on pizza?
Well, if you answered yes to the first two questions, then this is the book for you. If you answered yes to the third, well…my mother taught me not to say mean things to people…even if they do deserve it!
Money, as they say, is the root of all evil. Not having money, that is. When budget cuts at the high school where JT teaches threaten his mortgage, he’s forced to seek an alternative source of income.
Using the latest VR technology that lets the body rest while the mind is at play, our digital entrepreneur dives into the latest VR MMO game Argos Online with a potentially exploitative character build no one saw coming: the Kobold Necromancer.
He’s got all of spring break to see if he can grind the system for all it’s worth…or end up spring broke in search of a new place to live with his wife and young son.
YES: Stats, cursing, kobolds, slice of life
NO: Harem, explicit, pineapple on pizza

Story
After fulfilling the duty all Arch Necromancers are tasked with, the last thing Sylver Sezari expected was to be reborn. He was usually the one reanimating dead things, after all. How ironic. But reborn he was. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he finds himself in a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content.

It’s just another Thanksgiving for the Sullivans - until the walls disappear and they discover they are being transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn’t mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness and armed only with their Tomes, the family members must discover a strength they didn’t know they had if they are going to survive.

After his tour of duty and an unremarkable post-Army business career, Charles spent his twilight years watching old movies and waiting for his grandkids to call. He'd lived a good life and been a decent man, but now that his wife was gone, he was...lonely. Until his old friend Bert introduced him to Crossroads, the new VR sensation. In this virtual world he can move without pain, explore new lands, and most importantly - see his family again. For as long as he can hold their interest, in this fast-paced modern world of instant gratification and VR thrills.

He longs to leave his blood-soaked mistakes in his past, but old friends and foes have different ideas.

The great world tree, Yggdrasil, needed a group that could work together to stop a threat that could end reality. Yggdrasil summoned a team of five champions, into a world straight out of fantasy, and remade them into something more. Unfortunately, Virgil was granted almost no skills, and his body was shifted into a reviled Dark Elf. Now, hated by the locals and of little use to the others that can already heal themselves, Virgil was cast aside. Abandoned and alone, Virgil will take on the threat to this world....No matter what ally gets in his way.

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

great book
This was a really fun book and while I wanted more books, it was nice to wrap this up in one shot. I can't not rate this book 5 stars but there were a few things that bugged me, so I'll leave them in the review in hopes it helps the author and narrator.
The narration was pretty great - held its own with some of my favorite narrators in this kind of series. A little distracting at times when the narrator would pause in the middle of a sentence as if he was turning pages. It wasn't that big of a deal but did make me double take at times.
Thought the book was great but a few things just didn't feel believable to me. Like the constant outpouring of affection for the MC's family, but yet he was willing to separate himself for massive amounts of time for this extra job. It just felt a little disconnected. Also constantly telling readers why certain names were chosen because they were from his 'youth' felt repetitive.
Again only leaving this feedback for a chance of improvement. This was a fun book and I would gladly read another.

Exactly what I was looking for!
The genre needs more of this! The MC is a normal, likable guy. There is no teenage drama, or oversexed OP "dude" drama. It's a guy supporting his family while have unique adventures in a game. He doesn't get stuck in VR or have to save the world from aliens. He just has fun and plays the game (though not perfectly lol). The whole adventure was fun and engaging. It was well written and well read. It's a great book and I don't doubt I will enjoy it again in the future.

Great fun read
Loved this book. Fun, simple gaming without the usual traps.
Basics: this is a book about a gamer that just wants to game and earn some money. He is gaming but not running from reality.
I enjoy the fact that the game doesn’t revolve around him or will cataclysmically end of our hero doesn’t… we’ll hero. The higher realms are working just fine without him and he’s free to explore the lower levels that many others have done before. So relaxing.
Thank you for this dear author. And great work with the reading, a little excited at the beginning but pans out in the end.

Great story and narration!
A teacher who had his second job cut in a downturn economy looks to a new VR game for an opportunity to secure his family's financial future. Naturally he chooses to be a kobold necromancer.
Maggie and Jack do a fantastic job with the narration!
This is a fun light-hearted adventure!
I really enjoyed it and hope it one day gets made into a series!
