Summary

The stakes are rising, and so is Anthony!

Our antrepid adventurer must lead his new family to the surface to escape the relentless wave of monsters below. After all, the surface only has much weaker monsters and humans to deal with.

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!

Book 2 of the hit monster-evolution LitRPG series with nearly 30 Million views on Royal Road. Grab your copy today!

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.

ANTastic !

An amazing book following a monster MC. It I'd hilariously entertaining, contains witty puns and loads of humor. Most of all the plot is interesting. I could relisten to this book multiple of times without getting bored.

First book was great, this was greater!

Congrats to everyone involved in the project!

I enjoyed the first book but something about this second one just elevates it to a whole new level.

We learn more about poor Anthony's circumstances. The events that unfold just make me want to keep listening.

More of Gandalf, more of the Legion. What's there not to like? I absolutely loved the point of view switches as they grant a better understanding of what's going on (and I very rarely like PoV switches). Also, loved Bane and Enid!

Can not wait to see what's in store for the gang!

Also, the narrators do one heck of a job. Couldn't think of anyone else better for narrating this series. Vibrant is just overwhelmingly cute.

A great listen.

Book 2 is just as awesome and glad they took everyone’s advice and stopped putting the skip message in.
Can’t wait for book 3!

Much better than book 1

So, so much better than book 1. I understand the need for the story setup in book 1, but the storyline seemed to progress so much better in this than book 1. The humour is also slightly less cringey, and everything seems to fall into place now.

fANTastic!

A great lit rpg from a different perspective then the usual hero does things, a good sequel to the first that focuses more on the ant colony then the last book. Eagerly awaiting the next iteration.
