About this listen
Powerful monsters and magic. A new caretaker has arrived. Welcome to the Sanctuary....
After disaster brought me to Stonefield Sanctuary, I figured it was all a dream.
It’s not every day you discover you’ve been selected to become the next caretaker of a preserve full of monster girls, fantasy creatures, and magic I’d only seen in games or read about in books.
Now, the residents need help, and I’m the only one who can save them.
I’ll need to earn the trust of my allies, including the beautiful monster girls at my side, to complete quests, build defenses, grow stronger, and defeat our enemies.
Only then, will I become the most powerful caretaker any sanctuary has ever seen.
Time to get started.
I’ve got cards to collect, skills to develop, a town to build, monster girls to rescue, and mysteries to solve.
All I have to do is ensure I survive long enough to do so.
This series includes:
Progression Fantasy
Town Building / Crafting
Card Collecting
Pets
Lite LitPRG / Gamelit Mechanics
Isekai / Portal Fantasy
Monster Girls
Unconventional Relationships
Non-Fade-To-Black
Interior Artwork (Cards)
Magic and Sword Fights

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Story
I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

When fate brought me to the fantasy world of Aurilon, I thought I'd seen everything. If I only knew how wrong I was. Now, I’ve discovered monsters are real, they’re stunningly beautiful, and they need my help. In this world, men’s cores are cursed, preventing them from cultivating and achieving incredible power. Fortunately, I’m not from this world. With several amazing monster girls at my side, I'll forge a new destiny and ascend to heights I’d only ever dreamed of. But first, I must create a safe haven in the wilds to protect those who have been hunted for far too long.

The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want.

Fortunately, I've also got plenty of friends to help me out, including my hobgoblin neighbor and the smooth-talking genie across the hall.

Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

I used to think my life would be common, boring even. My online guildies and my friends sure thought so. Yet everything I knew to be true in this world all changed drastically one fateful night... or should I say, it shifted. As it turns out, my father passed on more than his name to me. Something feral and mighty awoke within me, and I knew at once, I would never be the same again. Shortly after, I received an invitation that I didn't expect, a call to attend the mysterious Apex Academy.

Story
Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Check This One Out
Right up front before you read any further just know that I recommend this book to anybody thinking about giving it a shot. A little context for my review. I tend to take it easy on the first and last book of any series as not every series makes it to “The End” and the first of anything can be a shaky endeavor. I also try to make clear the distinction between the quality of the writing/performance of the author/narrator and my personal tastes should they differ. In this case they did not. The writing was solid right out the gate. The main character helps his mother on some type of animal sanctuary. There's a barn fire and he finds his mother dead inside. As he's carrying her out part of the structure collapses on him. He makes it outside with her but soon passes out as he's being pulled away by a pair of big hands. He finds himself in this new environment. He's destined to be a caretaker of one of the sanctuaries scattered across the globe. He hasn't left earth or gone to another reality slash dimension. These sanctuaries are hidden from mortals or mundanes by magic. His mother is dead, but his grandfather is alive? You're going to have to read the story for yourself to find out more. He has a bag of holding and there are these cards which you can use to summon everything from a bed to a familiar. Also, there are monster ladies that are supermodel level gorgeous. Anyway, I don't want to risk spoiling anything in this new series. The author appears to be relatively new with this one appearing to be his second series. The first is a four-book collection that has been completed and is available in a box set or a four in one audio book. He also has his own website and a Patreon where you can find additional artwork and maps if you're interested. Personally, I love the quality covers of the gentleman's books and I definitely recommend you check out his “Bonded Spirits” series. Moving on to the narration team, I can easily say they're in my top five favorite narrators of all time. They were the team that performed in the “Bonded Spirits” series, and I think the first time I came across them was in “A Mage’s Cultivation” series. I've never “seen” them execute less than a fantastic performance and as such highly recommend any story they're attached to. Lastly, I'll just say well done to everybody who had a hand in bringing this story to us, the Audible listeners.

Great tale!
Great tale, great narration. Hazel and Christian are a great team. The story took me about a chapter to get what was going on but after that it flowed well and the story was rather addicting.
Interesting side note, with this cold bomb generational cyclone thing hitting the US hard right now, woke up early to make sure the fire was going strong in case of a power outage from the storm. So spent the morning finishing up the book on the couch staring lazily at the fire when I did in fact lose power for a bit, Added a few logs and was fine until it came back on. So, I never thought i would say this, but an audio book may have just actually saved me from freezing to death!

Interesting story
As the title says, it's quite interesting and I like the cast of characters. Only found a couple things that nagged me.
First was that some events felt too rushed. It's first person POV. if details are going to be omitted have it be due to introspection or by showing how the character feels.
Second was with the narration. I do feel that they did a great job and gave the characters their own voice. However, I do think they could have a bit more emotion to them as they felt slightly flat to me.
