Awakened Essence 1

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Jacob Pool

Narrated by: Alex Perone

His mission: stop a future only he knows is coming.

Alden Dawnsbreak, a Paladin, finds himself thrust back in time—to a time before Lutria’s fall, a time when legends walked its streets.

With his father’s scepter, and the dark powers it offers, Alden must level his new class and save his city. Treacherous nobles, hidden agendas, and monstrous malevolent spirits stand in his way.

But Alden isn’t alone: his colorful horde of minions and a gallery of legends stand with him. The fate of the city hangs in the balance. Can they defy fate?

Awakened Essence is the first book in Alden’s adventure, a LitRPG adventure that features an intelligent main character, crafting elements, and world-ending stakes.

weak

the main character cares to much about others feelings weak willed I really hate that mentality it gets in the way of the story. also I don't know why but the story seems childish.

Time traveler Paladin becomes Necromancer

I'd say this story is pretty decent. The narration is good. Although I will warn you ahead of time. If you are unable to cope with some illogical reactions and decisions then this might not be the book for you. In my opinion I didn't really care so long as it kept the story moving.
