Publisher's Summary
Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.
But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper.
That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns.
Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.
Too bad, with magic comes responsibility and Ard needs to adapt quickly because he’s making more enemies than friends with his glib tongue. Thankfully, he’s got some help along the way.
Because he’ll need it. As the most powerful mage in the nation, he’s about to be thrown headfirst into the elite of the kingdom and a few jokes won’t stop a sword.

Story
Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

The Revelation: A name given to an event that, five years ago, changed the world forever. In a single day, humanity discovered that not only were they not alone, but they were not exactly at the top of the food chain. Living in the shadows for millennia, supernaturals now had no choice but to finally come into the light. Because of the fury of a mad god, humans and supernaturals now had to learn to coexist side by side for the first time in living memory. With the revelation that magic was not only real but far more common than fairy tales led them to believe, a new society had to be born.

After having kept my hands to myself for years, It's time to enjoy myself a bit as well with an enemy-turned-ally magician who is as smart as she is beautiful, a bar owner who can equally hold herself in a fight as much as with liquor, and the only other survivor other than myself, a golden-haired healer who's even more damaged than I am. Change looms behind Greystone's colossal walls as guilds vanish, arena fighters wind up dead, and whispers of a great war permeate the streets. My name is Cade, a man driven by vengeance, and I am going to bring it all down!

David always was an outdoorsman and an explorer. But when Earth merged with the magical world of Tannoris, it suddenly became too dangerous for anyone without a Class to leave the cities. A shame, too, because with elves, foxkin, catkin, and many other magical beings abound, there is plenty for him to experience! But now, David’s dream just might come true! A mystical ritual will awaken his Class, and a budding homestead on the wild frontier is waiting for him to take ownership.

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

boring.
honestly I found this very boring the magic was kind of interesting it not very limited. but the mc is an insufferable smart ass that for some reason wins everyone's affection because of it. and a harem of hot powerful women because he's annoying? I dunno it felt like an isekai harem but the dude was born in the world. so somehow his farmer boy charm works in cities?
I think in the last chapter it showed it best. he talks about seeing horrors and having nightmares for a long time but nothing anywhere else suggests any of that. he just killed people and dealt with monsters and such without a second thought.

Definitely not his best work (personal opinion)
Been a fan of Bruce for a while now and have read most of his other series. All of which have their own strengths and weaknesses but this one has mostly weaknesses.
Voice acting was great zero complaints there.
The story just fell off for me, some of the other comments here are overly harsh in my own opinion as well. But, one of my main criticisms is the forced injection of comedy that completely ruined the climax for me and the build up to get to the climax had terrible pacing. Thus leading it to feel disjointed. As for the rest of the book, the story line idea is great like all of Bruce Sentar’s books however the execution is poorly done.
The characters make many leaps in logic on a whim and appear educated in subjects they wouldn’t have been familiar with prior to the circumstances they reveal the information in.
World building is extremely limited, I understand the build the world as the characters experience it but as of right now (having finished the book) I can tell you barely anything about the setting of the book beyond fantasy kingdom and how the power levels of mages work.
Overall, story was disjointed and lacked world building, add that too a climax that was ruined before it started and it was very disappointing. I recommend one of his other series. I am undecided on if I will get the next in this series or not. I want to hope that it gets better but I am worried it won’t.
