About this listen

I wanted to be an adventurer. I ended up the pack mule for a psychopathic hammer.

My name is Ash. I’m a scavenger, a blacksmith’s apprentice, and, according to the voice in my head, a "calcium-based biped with poor taste in pillows."

All I wanted was to clear my family’s debt and secure a future in Dawnwatch, the frontier town guarding the rift. Maybe even become an adventurer. But when a dungeon run went wrong, I didn’t just find loot. I found the motherload. A Soul Gem worth a kingdom.

Instead of doing the smart thing and selling the gem, I forged it into a powerful Soul Weapon, one which could make me into something far greater than I’d ever thought possible.

Only, I ended up with Roq. A modified smith’s hammer. He can crush armor, heal my wounds, and hit harder than a runaway horse. In some ways he is the ultimate weapon.

But he’s also a complete diva who demands blood sacrifices, screams about his magnificence, and refuses to sleep on anything less than satin.

Now, I have to find a way to slay enough monsters to keep him fed and become strong enough to protect those I care about.

All while arguing with a tool that thinks he’s the main character.

“Excuse you? 'Thinks' he is the main character? I AM THE MAIN CHARACTER! You are merely a transportation system! Listen to me, flesh-sacks. Buy this book. Experience my glory through your eye-balls or ear-holes. Witness the destruction of the Titanfang! And if you don't leave a 5-star review, I will find out where you live and I will... wait, Ash, don't you dare close the descript—"

...Ignore him. Just buy the book. Please. I need money for more satin pillows and pie.

if you love DDC, you will love this. Great cast of characters, fantastic writing and the best companion but not as good as Donut. Roq is a soul weapon who loves to kill, kill,kill he loves a to sink tavern songs about smashing monsters and he really, really wants a satin pillow. Ash is a 20-something young man who wants to get stronger, to help take care of his family. But never expected what his first dungeon mission as a scavenger( basically mules for adventurers), would bring him to not only give him an incredible weapon/friend but finally give him the confidence to ask that special someone out.

Fantastic

The story was great, the voice work was pretty amazing, It was fun, engaging, and a roller coaster of adventure. The characters are fairly well developed, the plot is interesting, and it finishes with you wanting more. Would recommend highly.
