Fight. Grow. Thrive.

When ninety-percent of the Universe's population suddenly turned into monsters, Leo has no time to grieve.

He must push forward and find what is left of his family. If that means sacrificing what remains of his humanity and embracing his new reality where a mysterious System is his only true ally, then so be it.

After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill him, he has to decide if he can do what it takes.

Adapt or Die. Kill or be killed.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution offers a long journey of progression, LitRPG, and exploration of a dying Multiverse. Listen as Leo slowly sheds his human skin to wear one of a beast straight out of the depth of the Void. Embrace the path of Evolution in a series perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, System Apocalypse, and Hell Difficulty Tutorial.

The narrator was amazing

Narrator did a magnificent job of keeping me invested throughout the story. Will definitely look for more of his work

Don’t bother

Not much fighting more like an angst filled teenage drama unless you like adult crybabies

More cultivation based sysem

I didn't think it was to bad, but wasn't amazing. the narration is solid and it has some promise but takes awhile to get there.

Dark LitRPG World

This LitRPG takes place in a much darker world than a lot of the post apocalyptic LitRPGs that I have read. The way the MC evolves makes for some unique experiences. The game system was original and the story was entertaining. I’m interested to see where things go next. The narration was very well done.

What a ride!

New author and narrator (to me). Will be checking out both. Loved the performance and the book.
