About this listen

A desperate man is thrust into the dangerous, unknown wilderness, where even survival comes at a price, in this gripping adapt-or-die portal fantasy.

Markus Wolfe has lost his parents, his girlfriend, and now, his job. He's at his lowest point with nothing left to lose. Or so he thought. But when an apparition appears, promising Markus a mysterious inheritance, he's given the opportunity to discover what he's got to gain: a purpose.

Transmigrated into a vast wilderness with no signs of civilization, Markus is forced to rediscover who he is while fighting through confusion, fear of the unknown, and the very real threat of death. He had the courage to take the first step, which at least grants a point in his favor but he'll need more than that to succeed. His only objective is to outlive and outlast everything that's coming—for one year. But what's coming for him is absolutely beastly.

Armed with an extra-dimensional Inventory, a map, animal allies, and a new Tamer Class, Markus is ready for whatever this untamed world has in store for him. Almost . . .

Because the ravaging Jurassic predators circling their prey are beyond imagining, and so are the promises of Markus's mysterious benefactor, should he survive. Right now, it's a kill-or-be-killed world. Welcome, traveler. Best of luck.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Solid character development with a practical (majority of the time) MC, decisions that make sense coupled with a solid progression system and a lovable ‘cast’? Cann’t wait for the next book!

Great start to a great story

While the start of the book is a little slow to kick of, it really gets going and doesn't stop getting even more exciting. The survival aspect is written very well and you might even learn something new.

An engaging tale with both cute and ferocious companions

Took a bit to get going with some hang ups but that actually Kept both the pace and premise grounded. Makes the mc more Human and add Good progression flavour without stagnating the pace. Good stuff. Keep it coming!

Great Story. Grrr!

I honestly am unsure how anyone could give this a 5 with a straight face. The first twenty-ish chapters were a real chore to get through and even after the story gets going, the author loops the same five issues/story elements over and over again (onto the heat death of the universe). I'm sure I'm misremembering, but it felt like every chapter the character brought up his ex, dead family, getting fired, etc. It's not until the final quarter of the book that this finally seemed to stop (with the exceptions in sixty-eight and sixty-nine). I cannot deny that there are some interesting bits, and the author looks to be focused on the technicals of survival rather than telling a story. Which is fine. I'm not saying there isn't a story being told, it's just very much on the back burner, with the character making deliberately silly choices to prolong the premise. Honestly, it's just mostly a set of whiny loops. I mean, I get it. Surviving alone in the wilds is hard, but this is meant to be a story. Tell a story. By all means, lay out the problems for the first quarter to half of a book, but get it together after that and actually do something... Anyway, it's okay. I will probably get the next book, but this is not a 5 by any means, and anyone saying it is, well, they are lying.

It's difficult to recommend.
