About this listen

Divine power is not given. It is taken.

It's been centuries since mortals unlocked the secrets of the Fate System and overthrew Mount Olympus, leaving the Old Gods dead and their thrones empty.

Kairos, a young pirate with the ability to speak with animals, has dreams to ascend as the newest deity of a flooded world. Though it will take more than ambition, charisma, and a ship to do so.

He must sail the endless sea, tame fearsome monsters, and conquer new lands. The challenges are many, but he will face them all. For Kairos is a cunning [Rogue] indeed...

Experience the start of a LitRPG epic loaded with Greek mythology and pirate-themed adventure, by the bestselling author behind Vainqueur the Dragon and The Perfect Run. Grab your copy today!

About the series: Witness an epic blend of Greek mythology and LitRPG where Heracles was a [Fighter] and Circe a [Spellcaster]. In a universe where the old Gods have fallen, mortals can rise to become Gods through Legends, Levels, and building up Mythical Skills. Dungeons full of minotaurs and undead, insidious assassination plots, and epic wars between demigods...this series has it all.

This is a well written story. It reminds me of those ancient Greek myths I used to read, listen or watch as a child. However, there's a twist because of lvs. But don't let that scare you off because it is not lv intensive.

The book contains, fierce battles on both the land and the sea, plotting similar to game of thrones, gods and magic.

Minor spoiler, it does contain sex scenes. But you can't have a greek story without sex scenes.

Fantastically written, fully fleshed out characters with real weight added to the story. This author has true talent.

Top tier, worthy of being called a modern epic.

i know that computer game / rpg style stories are all the rage now but its just gone too far. the story became just about the rank and special skills the characters gained. with such rich source material the auther still made this a shallow world. people are invincible until they are not. characters are very dull. dont know i will buy the second one. last note. using modern style language in a book baised in a ancinet style enviroment just clangs.

modern language and non sensical

This wasn't necessarily a bad book but there were a lot of bad parts. On the good side: it was an innovative idea, the protagonist was active and not crippled by angsty, the dialogue was generally good and the settings were well described. The MC makes mistakes and shows development throughout.

On the medium side it is a bit if a power fantasy with the MC getting powers/levels on a very regular basis. He also seems to get whatever he needs as and when he needs it which was a bit painful.

On the bad side the author paints OP's relationship as true love when it is really toxic (spoilers)
- Their first hook-up with her holding him at knifepoint
- She said she'd kill herself if he died.
- She said she'd kill all his friends/family if he left
- She has killed many of his men and allowed others to die avoidably
- She calls him her soulmate/other half within like a week of dating.

I couldn't sympathise with the OP picking her, a monster with squid legs, as his concubine rather than his loyal, trusted first mate who is attracted to him like he is to her, who understands him instinctively and who he trusts with his life.

Honestly, the dodgy relationships are the main reason I won't be reading amy more of these. The pacing is far too fast too. Always hopping straight from one thing to another.

The narration was great but overall, I would not recommend the book.

Not as good as Perfect Run
