Dungeon Worlds

Written by Aurora Weiss

Narrated by Travis Baldree

The car crash was the last thing I remembered . . . then I woke up here. Where "here" was felt like an impossible nightmare. I died, but this wasn't what I'd expected to find when they said I'd meet my maker.

The afterlife is just like a video game, except I didn't start in a noob world like everybody else. I started out on one of the most challenging dungeon worlds meant only for ancient souls who've been dead much longer than I have . . .

Welcome to Epoc.

I don't have the right stats for this place, not even a little bit. I'm in complete noob gear with the standard human sword and shield. I don't even have any crafting skills to make a decent breakfast with the high tier ingredients in this place.

Dying in the afterlife is even worse than dying on Earth. Earth, you only die once, but here, you can die over and over again and each one is just as miserable as the last.

There's only one way I can survive the cycle, one way to stay sane.

I need a power leveler . . . and fast.

Reviews for Dungeon Worlds

[Madhav Deshpande · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Fantasy meets video games in this book!

When the main character finds a strange coin on earth, he doesn't realize that it could spell his own doom until he's driving headlong into a semi. He wakes to find himself in a fantasy video game afterlife and the only thing he has on him that he recognizes is that single coin.

And others want the coin as well. They want this coin as it appears to be a powerful "glitch" that's attached itself to him.

Soon he finds himself joining forces with a dark elf named Zane (my favorite) a shadow thief named Sam and his own sword, a pixie with an attitude.

If you enjoy fantasy crossovers, this book is highly entertaining! I have seen others say they feel the d&d tie ins are lacking but I can't honestly speak to that fact as I myself have never played. This also means that I sometimes felt a little lost in video game references but not so lost I couldn't keep up with the story.

Overall this book was entertaining and the narrator was excellent.

The MC has almost no personality, exp and loot has no impact on the story, the mc invents new abilities every time he is in trouble, moving the limitations on whats possible. It's a big mess.
