Rising World

Rising World, Book 1

By: Kris Schnee

Narrated by: Henry Kramer

Tom wished for a meaningful job with the chance to make things. Someone listened. Judged by a masked demigod, Tom gets sent to another world with magic, game-like rules, and massive opportunity for a clever inventor.

He's been handed a new identity and adopted by a loving family. As a young man with otherworldly knowledge, he tries to recreate technology from humble beginnings. There are spells to learn, too, and he wants to treat his sister and parents right. His river homeland seems idyllic, but there are problems brewing with abused peasants, the necromancy business, and the management of living dungeons. To go from ambitious engineer to true hero, Tom needs to craft weapons, explore, and start a revolution. The industrial kind…probably.

Rising World is part of the LitRPG genre, combining fantasy with game elements.

A surprising addictive story

I pick this book up out of curiosity, and I wasn’t disappointed by my choice. I loved the book, I would highly recommend it! Can’t wait for the rest of the series on audible.

great story

this was an amazing story that had a lot of Great Adventure inventions and it just kept my attention the entire time I can't wait for the next one

a fantastic reading

I have been reading/listening alot and alot of book
and most ended with me going " that was interesting and alright I wondered what happens"
but this book oh when It ended I cried out " ITS OVER @#$%^" I wanted so much more I can't wait for the next one
well I do hope there's a next one I do not want it to end here

A intresting start to a Series.

A little dry overall in the writing in the beginning. The story picks up some and I found it difficult to stop listening by the second half of the book.

Rising World is a lovely world

In the opening paragraphs, the MC has died, and he's offered a new life elsewhere, sort of like Heaven Can Wait. The MC has a choice between a human, a centaur, a fox and a few other races -- all of them in situations where they are about to die.

If you've seen the cover picture for this audiobook, you can guess what happens within the first few minutes. He's an inventor in a fantasy world.

I love this world. This fantasy world is NOT based on mass death. The relative peace and lack of looming danger allowed me to enjoy the world of many different races more. Medieval, low tech, and the locals don't know about many of the inventions of the past 500 years, giving the fox inventor an advantage. The main characters are all likable.

I very much liked this one.
