The Alpha Protocol: A Sci-Fi LitRPG Adventure

Symphony, Book 1

By: J. D. Mullenary Sr.

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

Finding himself suddenly teleported to a new dimension, a former English teacher becomes the god of a world of his own making, in this portal fantasy.

Fresh off a break-up and now unemployed, veteran and former high school English teacher Walker Reed is ready to succumb to a grim and hopeless depression. But when an enigmatic stranger stops him in the street, he's suddenly hurled into another dimension.

There, Walker gets to build his own world from scratch following the Alpha Protocol, which invites special individuals from across the universe to become "Creators"—generating everything from their own land masses and celestial bodies to a comprehensive, recorded religion.

With the help of his robotic assistant, Virgil—who happens to be a four-foot-tall squirrel—Walker sets about building out his geography, evolutionary systems, and creatures. But it's not like playing in a sandbox, and he quickly realizes his creations can have world-ending consequences. Not to mention the creators are regularly pitted against one another in the Creator Wars . . .

As if all that weren't bad enough, if Walker can't complete the Alpha Protocol, he'll be sent back to his previous reality where new, dark roads await. As he unlocks new systems and paths, can he balance his desire to be a peaceful, benevolent, and ethical god? Or will everything devolve into chaos?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Very enjoyable.

Concept and execution were done well enough, story was interesting albeit not for me but I had a great time generally speaking. I do highly recommend that you (pretty much anyone) give this a try, it was a fun, easy read with a great narrator and an interesting premise, there were some things I wasn’t a huge fan of but I’m probably in the minority there. Give it a go, it’s big fun

Thoroughly Entertaining

Finding this story to be hilarious different and fresh. Overall great book and I can't wait for book 2.

This is a more mature world.Keep her serious

In some ways, it's like the person who wrote this. he had read the series the world keeper and took all of the frat boy parts out decided to do a more mature in some ways it's is dynamic. but at the same time, predictable.
It's more mature because he deals with the
Personal assistant as a man. Taking it that frat boy part and he deals with the. Learning variants and the disgraphic aspects of that in a really amazing way. If I hadn't read the world keeper series, then this would have been a must read, but because I have it can be sort of paint by numbers. When it comes to the plot There is also another problem The performance, the narrator is amazing. Other works, but it does not work here he's just he accents the wrong thing, and can turn a person off when it comes to this book. I enjoy him in other projects, but this one. No it's just not him

Cool idea. Annoying MC.

MC is really annoying has anger management, swears excessively and makes bad jokes. The creation elements were really interesting but are only like 20% of the story. also MCs back story makes him seem lame jobless teacher that got cheated on.

Wonderful idea and story

Quite enjoyable. Fun idea and great implementation. Kept me interested nonstop and I can't wait to continue the series!
