Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

A new isekai Magic Academy LitRPG with a unique twist where the old world meets the new.

An abandoned Academy. A mysterious System. He can now summon... Players!?

Victor Asteriscus is just like any other acolyte treading on the Magus Path until his comrades betray him for a broken artifact. In a moment of desperation, he accidentally stumbles upon an abandoned academy and receives a System that allows him to summon Players.

Yep, that's right. These “Players” from his old world will help him embark on a quest to develop the academy, complete various missions, and harness the power of magic. Let them kill magical beasts so that he can be promoted further? That’s too simple!

With an army of fearless, immortal players, and a sassy assistant fairy under him, what’s there to fear in this world full of endless dangers and mysteries?

Come join Victor in building the greatest academy the world has ever seen in this wild new LitRPG adventure from Astralium. The series features power progression, cultivation elements, settlement building, magitech, dungeon diving, crafting, a strong-to-stronger MC, and so much more.

As if a FFXIV gamer wrote a book.

As the title says, it's as if someone who plays Final Fantasy and plays Genshin Impact wrote a book about a VRMMO game that is actually someone's reality and hits a checklist of Clichés in the LitRPG genre. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, this is a fun listen with very nice pacing. The book doesn't start slow, MC isn't OP (at least not yet), and the side characters don't feel generic... besides the budget paimon familiar sidekick (Which Peter Berkrot nails a 1 for 1 of Cartmans Fairy from southpark). If you're a fan of Peter Berkrot's narration, this is another hit. TLDR, this audiobook is like mcdonalds, It's a good junkfood listen.

What a great Isekai litRPG adventure! Grab the audiobook and enjoy!

This was prolly the strangest Isekai litRPG adventure I've read as the MC, Victor Asteriscus had no idea of that! It wasn't until his team/friends had attacked him and left him for dead when he learned about his previous life. Victor was truly dying when he stumbled across the academy, and by becoming the Headmaster, it allowed the magic within the academy to save Victor. And the first thing he noticed besides being fully healed and the newly acquired past life memories is Lizbeth the fairy his assistant! And his first quest is to gain students! How?!? You might wonder... in this hostile environment where the only people he knows are the traitors that had tried to kill 'em. At his fairy's insistence he needed to induct them from earth and convince them that this is a totally imersive MMORPG game! So yeah he digs into the memories of his life on earth and contacts his gaming buddies to pull off the scam! Thus begins Headmaster Victor Astralium's Academy new career! Scamming the "students" 😆 but also teaching them real magic and he too benefits gaining levels as his teaching ability unleashed new skills...

This it's a must read

This is a must read, it can be a little long on description, and it's something where if you've read the wandering in, you'll begin to appreciate, I think what's being done here. This is one of those books where the characters have something to say, but you know, they're going to have more to say in the next book. You're going to get Real world problems. We have some interesting solutions to it. In both worlds, so hopefully, this one won't take too long for the next 1 2 come out.

Interesting premise

I don't really like the voice for "Lizbeth". But there is a good range of voices regardless! Hopefully more in this series are a little more exciting, as this felt like the entire book was setting up for the next few. I was kind of expecting more crazy nonsense from the title. But overall it was still good.

Unique and original

Very original premise. I liked how it played with established VR and isekai tropes. I thought it was a cool concept. Interestingly it was more cultivation than LitRPG in the system. Entertaining book with a lot of potential in the future. The narration was very well done.
