About this listen
Magic school isn't cheap. To be a Mage, he must work smart and learn fast.
Fate dealt Nox the Alchemist unfavorable cards, but he has learnt to compensate for his shortcomings with scholarly pursuits, tenacity, and sheer grit. Fortunately, for him Woodson University and their scouts are always seeking individuals with his work ethic.
The Department of Dungeon Studies sees the value of the mind and its ability to overcome all limitations. After all, they stripped the divine of their titles. The department turned gods into Dungeon Lords and their domains into Dungeons.
Now, the department can teach Nox how to use magic to stand strong in a broken world. It will give him the tools to achieve his ambitions and his limitations will force him to the forefront of arcane discovery.
Unfortunately, more immediate challenges await Nox, too. He lacks the means to pay the university’s ridiculous tuition. Only alchemy and smart business deals will earn him the hundreds of gold coins he needs.
Join Nox on his journey from Novice to Archmage in this Arcane Academy LitRPG series from J Pal, bestselling author of The Houndsman and They Called Me Mad. It features a unique magic system which involves cultivating a solar system in one's core, Detailed spell crafting and alchemy, Dungeon diving, arcane archery, a magic university setting and so much more.

Story
When the System Administrators arrived on Earth, they forced those of the younger generation into other worlds to fight for multiversal entertainment. Bored of life on Earth, Noah has trained to become one of the chosen. He even had his class all planned out–a Mounted Monster Tamer. But he was never picked. So he put matters into his own hands and volunteered. Arriving in a world thick with jungle and hotter than the most boiling desert, Noah finds himself face-to-face with a kobold, which he proceeds to beat into submission and turn into a minion.

It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans for him. Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners. At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

Me? I was an innocent bystander in a shootout between mobsters and spawned monsters. Thankfully, the System granted me the power to bring forth monsters from the void. With this ability to command magical beasts, I might just live out the apocalypse. Together with a ragtag group of survivors, we're wading through the mayhem while searching for somewhere safe. Somewhere that monsters aren't desperately trying to kill us, where the opportunistic among humanity aren't looking for easy XP.

To Viggo, the veil was simply a landmark. Crossing it was considered suicide, and he'd never given much thought to what might lay beyond. Then, his life collapsed around him. Ejected from the military academy that was to have marked the start of his career, disowned by his family, passed over by the gods themselves, Viggo's last chance lay beyond the veil. Yet, from the very beginning, something was deeply troubling about the realm from whence the gods came. Its cities lay in ruins, its lands peopled by lunatics locked into tasks they could not escape.

Story
After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. With his four-legged friend at his side, he wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or a builder, and find a wife. He doesn't care about filling his remaining nodes with Skill Stones or wasting his life looking for a Class. Wyldbloods like him aren't destined for greatness. But the realm is at war. The Fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties, their Wyld armies taking to the fields.

Somebody once told a joke. A man ran in place all his life. He worked a job he didn't love for people he couldn't stand. But at the end of the day, the number in his bank account went up. That man got a second chance at life. He woke up in another world, one full of adventures and romances and monsters and gods. And floating above his head, he saw the number "1". So what did he say? "Gosh, I better make the number go up." Not today. Not for this old soul. Reborn as a beast of battle meant to live a short life and die screaming, Garek refuses.

To Viggo, the veil was simply a landmark. Crossing it was considered suicide, and he'd never given much thought to what might lay beyond. Then, his life collapsed around him. Ejected from the military academy that was to have marked the start of his career, disowned by his family, passed over by the gods themselves, Viggo's last chance lay beyond the veil. Yet, from the very beginning, something was deeply troubling about the realm from whence the gods came. Its cities lay in ruins, its lands peopled by lunatics locked into tasks they could not escape.

Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved. That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair. Getting used to a new world is tough. It's even tougher when you're surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a jaded System that doesn't appear interested in being charged with yet another companion.

I really enjoyed listening/reading this book by J Pal. And I loved it!!!
I almost always enjoy reading a book by J Pal and listening to Eric Jason Martin's narration is always pleasurable. I loved this story it's like a Mage school and a slice-of-life adventure got married and made this fine story. But don't get me wrong there's plenty of action too. Where Nox and his very strange best friend Willin finally get the break they needed to get stronger, and both of 'em were accepted by a famous magic school, Woodson University... but they're not gonna be walkin' down easy street either as they need to find a way to make enough money to pay the exorbitant tuition fees. And don't even get me started on the family, his brothers as they're out to get 'em.
Grab the book to find out what happens...Ohhhh where, oh where is book 2...

A Fantastic, Original Story
This was a refreshing take on the litRPG genre! The story starts out slowly and continues to build momentum throughout. I really enjoyed the unique system that the characters use to advance, and the blend of progression fantasy and litRPG elements went together flawlessly. The main character, as you can quickly tell from the cover, is an alchemist - but that has nothing to do with his system progression. While he is working separately to grow his system abilities, he is constantly working on his alchemical skills through study and invention. That isn't to say he doesn't use his system abilities to enhance his creations, but the duality of the classical fantasy progression and litRPG progression gives the story a very fresh and fun feel. Much of the story takes place in as realistic a university environment as you could expect in a fantasy world, which helps a lot to take it away from the typical fantasy wizard-school genre. The supporting cast was very well done and I enjoyed the different character arcs and twists!
Martin's narration was very good. At first, it was a little jarring with his unique style, but in no time at all I was used to it and found it was done in a pace that went well with the attitude of the main character. It really gave the right atmosphere for the story.

Good Story let down by bad narrator
I am about half way though the book. The story so far is good.
The narrator is ok at best. His narrator voice is like a the host from the black and white Twilight Zone how. Many times, he breaks a sentence in the middle making the sentence sound wrong. Female voices are not well done. Male voices are good but sometimes he switches to the narrator voice in the middle of a quote which makes following difficult.

Mature take on Litrpg
I am glad that I gave this one a try. It is a combination of other lore from different litrpg but with the author's twist. If you are looking for a more level headed, adult and smart MC. Try this out.

great story and magic system
Story was really good. Addition of the magic school elements ticks some familiar Harry Potter boxes. magic system is different but is not dwelled on so the flow of the story doesn't suffer. looking forward to future books

Beautiful Performance and Wonderful Title
First of all, Eric Jason Martin knocked it out of the park. Each character had a unique voice and manner of speaking that made them instantly identifiable. I particularly enjoyed Pudge's VO. Just very well done and from an audio production standpoint I have absolutely not complaints.
The story was a bit jarring at first, but I think that was intentional with a warm open right into the final rounds of a tournament. I do think there was perhaps a bit more grandstanding than needed in the opening with his mother, but I understand the needs of exposition. It did set up the conflict with his family well and make his separation from them feel right. Once he gets to the school things really start to pick up with a wide cast of dynamic characters. I won't spoil too much but his heavy course load and the concept of requirements did a wonderful job of getting the intricacies of the magic across to us.
The magic itself is a heavenly body/mana mix where one forms a core concept into a 'star' and gradually builds a solar system around said star. Each star/planet has a spell at the center that the user can evolve over time through either predefined spell progressions or knowledge of spell design. There is an alternative progression system in the 'sigil' that the MC and others possess, which grows based on what marks you have and what you do to progress them. My only criticism on that aspect of the power is its a bit heavy handed in solving some of the MCs issues. Still, over all his abilities seem mostly in line with his peers so I can't complain overmuch .
Overall very enjoyable story and looking forward to the next installments.
