And that's just Monday!

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

Not long ago, the dungeon known as Thedeim was a mere human. But after an up-close-and-personal meeting with a runaway semitruck—and subsequent dealings with a rather flustered Angel of Prodigals—he found himself in a new world, reincarnated as a run-down old house that just barely qualified as a dungeon. However, it didn't take long for him to build his core, mana, and reputation, making friends along the way.

But Matt can be a great tool against the evil forces. TreeTree (as Matt comes to be known) will learn all sorts of skills, gain levels, and in doing so, build up a forest, train young subordinates, protect a village, and more.

Publisher's Summary
The stakes are rising, and so is Anthony!

What could possibly go wrong?
Join the Colony as they are reforged and begin to manifest their destiny as the greatest civilization above and below the ground. Oh, and it's time for Anthony to introduce the newest member to his team, the cutest murderball of infinite terror Pangera has ever seen!

About this Series: Jump into a rebirth story that mixes LitRPG and GameLit Elements with Monster evolution. Levels, Stats, Skills, Magic, Power Progresion, Kingdom Building, Party Building, Army Building, evolution, a monster MC, gigantic enemies (compared to Ant at least), and plenty of humor fitting such a ludicrous premise.

A Great sequel!
First of all, pretty much anything Jeff performs is fantastic, and Annie does great as support.
I am legitimately loving this series, definitely one of my top favorite LitRPG series. I got the sequel as soon as it was released, and my only regret is that now I must once again wait. I can't wait to see what happens next!

So much fun!
I absolutely loved these books. Non stop entertainment and laughs. I'm a big fan of Dungeon Crawler Carl and these books had the same elements that I liked in those books: comedy, action, great characters, fun world, interesting story. I'll be listening to these again in the future. Just a really fun and easy going listen that's bound to cheer you up. For the colony!
