Goblin Peon No. 49

Upgrade Available: Protagonist Goblin Peon No. 49 is a level-one nobody. A disposable NPC at the very bottom of the dungeon food chain. Then his script glitches. He gets a character class, attributes, a user interface—and even a name: “Rook." Stalked by the godlike System and guided (sort of) by a giant rat who talks like a corrupted tutorial prompt, Rook stumbles into a quest that could change everything: recover three memory shards with the power to turn an NPC into a player character. Unfortunately, this dungeon isn’t especially supportive of personal growth. Along the way, Rook will encounter goblin-sized blenders, malevolent (and chatty) ancient artifacts, demons repurposed as transportation hubs, hallucinatory giant mushrooms, and trolls with a very specific skincare routine. If Rook wins, he’ll become a player character in a world designed to kill him. If he loses… well, the dungeon has plenty of uses for spare goblin parts. Goblin Peon No. 49 is a LitRPG for listeners who like their dungeons bloody, weird, and funny. Contains violence, rude language, existential angst.
