About this listen

Betrayed by his guild... Left for dead...
He'll become stronger than they ever imagined.

Ever since Arwin was summoned as a child, all he has known is war. And now, to claim the demon queen's life and end the war, he has to sacrifice himself. But, as he deals the final blow, the Hero of Mankind is betrayed.

Caught in a magical explosion thought to end him, Arwin awakens a month later to find that everyone has already moved on. His [Hero] class has changed to a unique blacksmith Class called [The Living Forge] that is empowered by consuming magical items, but some of his old passive [Titles] remain, giving him the power to forge his new future exactly the way he wants to.

Arwin isn't going to settle for anything less than completely surpassing the powers he wielded as the Hero.

After all, you are what you eat—and Arwin’s diet just became legendary.

Fantastic! Actus pulls out another great litRPG and Peter Berkrot is perfect bringing it to life with his great narration! And I can't wait for the next book, absodamnlutely can't wait! This book allows the Hero of Man and the Demon Queen to actually take a look at themselves in a whole new light, and of each other. To stop being bitter enemies on the battlefield ready to kill each other. But with their new class' in place it allows them to be just an Innkeeper and a Smithy, something that previously had only been a dream, a Smithy and a possible client.?. And maybe, just maybe even a friend!?! So yeah grab the book to find out if the Smithy, an Innkeeper, a Warden, a Warrior and a Healer can join forces to form their own guild!

Here's a couple of quotes that amused me:

“I remember that there were some pretty big lizard things, though.” “Lizards? Sounds like those could be useful.” “Did you miss the big part?” “Big means there are more spots to stab,”

I’m going to eat you, and I’m going to like it. That isn’t a threat. It’s a promise. Oh, who am I kidding. It’s also a threat.

“I ain’t no robber!” Arwin raised an eyebrow. “I’m a reallocator of goods.”

Fantastic start to a new series! Thanks Actus...

The villains are good the story has a good tempo and the love interest is developing add add proper pace great piece of work love to see more

Solid framework

No glaring holes. No unbearable characters. Excellent narration. Most importantly, the book didn't end in the middle of a plot point. It's like a mix between "Dark Lord of the Farmstead" and Battlemage Farmer," but the MC isn't overpowered. Also, not farm related.

An Excellent Start

very well written and looking forward to the next book. I rank this to my top 5 list out of the 100 plus in my library.

Great storytelling

A crafter with combat prowess, but the story is even deeper than the concept? Definitely already bought book 2…

This is what I needed.

this is definitely one of the best litrpg type audiobooks I've listened to, I have to say it was my favorite! the narrator made it so I could listen to it without breaks and ended up finishing in just 2 ish days.

story is great too, fairly generic world but with detail and easy to follow (that's a bonus in my mind, exactly what I was looking for).

overall, I will listen to the rest of this series and hope it stays consistent.

good narrator + fun story

It’s some crazy dejavu. But this sounds so familiar to something else I’ve listened to. But not sure what. I kinda feel like I’ve purchased this book twice.

So so familiar
