A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Publisher's Summary
The slayer has returned!
Using the power of his mighty familiars, Zander Darkblade has vanquished the imperious highlord, ending the threat to him and his friends and bringing honor to the Ravenflight guild.... Unfortunately, he still doesn’t have a way home.
Accepting that they may be stuck on Aetheria for good, Zander and company take to the roads, honing their skills, clearing dungeons, and adding familiars to their growing repertoire. They choose to embrace a life of adventure, living by the blade and enjoying all of the wonders that this strange new realm has to offer. But a new threat looms in the shadows, and a fated encounter awaits that may shake Zander to his core....
The Aether Gate Saga continues as darkness takes rise in Aetheria. The four great guilds wage war for control of a realm without a leader, and an ancient evil shows its face once more...an evil once powerful enough to slay the gods themselves.
Welcome back to Aether Gate Online. The best-selling litRPG series continues with its second installment, The Blade Guardian! More familiars, more transformations, and more high-stakes RPG action!

Book 2 reveals the secrets of the ravens guild and more
First off, LITRPG is a genre that is amazing, captivating and is taking over the fantasy genre fan base by storm. This is the 2nd in an amazing series. The players are trapped in the game and are dying in the world. They were told there was a way home. They just had to help the guild gain an ancient artifact. They were lied to. Nothing but pawns to an ancient evil that betrayed them as much as the one who trapped them in game. Now they are without a guild. Trapped in a game world they cannot escape. New allies will be met and lost. Discoveries of great note will be made. Tragedy will strike. New player classes will return to the game and the world will never be the same again. Great writing, phenomenal narration. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I thought this was a great follow up to book 1. It is well executed and I enjoyed the narration. I definitely think this is a solid example of LitRPG. Worth checking out, in my opinion.

Even better than the first!
I enjoyed the first book, but I was completely invested in book two! The new characters add a lot to the story and we are allowed to see much more of how the world works. The teasers at the end of book one play out very well as the true villains make themselves known (I'm trying not to leave spoilers!).
J. Scott Bennett returns to narrate book 2, and i am honesty baffled by the negative reviews of his performance. His voicing for this broad cast of characters is truly impressive and brings these books to life. His reading is dynamic, and his sense of timing and drama are spot on. I'm not sure what else people are looking for.
I can see how this could be categorized as YA but i wouldn't let that stop you, especially with this second book. If you read book one and are reading reviews to decide whether you should continue, just do it! Blade Guardian was even better than Slayer, and book 3, The Azure Warden, looks to be even more exciting!

It just gets better and better!
Another absolutely fantastic read it kept the pace of the first one and the strong character progression both in the character's personality along with the power level. The simple fact that the author is able to pull you in throughout the entire story without parts dragging out for no reason is amazing. I can safely say you will want to have the third book already because you will want to start it right after the end of book 2 its just that good.

A good continuation to the series.
This was a good continuation for the series. It was a bit predictable in the overall plot. That is why I deducted a star.
As with the first title in this series, it combines elements of litrpg and monster taming in the form of sprites in this case.
It's not overly crunchy with numbers which I like.
The narration was very good. This narrator in my opinion adds to the story.
I believe this title is well worth a credit.
