Summary

Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.

This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

Loved the audiobook, proceeded to read the next volume on Royal Road and then signed up to patreon to read volume 3 and and have caught up to mid-way through volume 4....Sign, good books are bad for the wallet.

Great book

This book is a little different from other books as it shows the struggles of being transported to another world which I find very refreshing and exciting

Great story, a military litrpg in roman setting

It is a good, slightly brutal journey through a fantasy world with heavy influence from ancient Rome. Dude from earth gets isekaied into roman-style empire and forced into a legion contract. Has to train hard to survive and grow stronger.

Highly recommend
