Multicast LitRPG bard audiobook series by Lars Machmüller

The bestselling LitRPG Bard series World of Chains is a bard story focused on a charisma build with everything that entails.

Diplomacy, blackmail, building reputation and – obviously – a major focus on music. The audiobooks are a multicast narration by Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays and Laurie Catherine Winkel, with musical accompaniment.

Daniel’s Guide to Early Retirement:

1: Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss.
2: Hide out in super exclusive Full Immersion Virtual Reality game until the heat is off.
3: Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up.
4: Profit. With all the pesky planning out of the way Daniel set out to realize his ultimate dream: gaining enough money to buy a tropical island and spend his days playing the violin and RPGs. What could possibly go wrong? Disclaimer: There shall be no harems in this series. Overpowered, perfect protagonists will not be tolerated and excessive cursing will result in donations to the swear jar.

Daniel’s (updated) Guide to Early Retirement. Version 2.0 :

1: Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught)
2: Hide out in super-exclusive Full Immersion Virtual Reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I’m in-game…still, it’s a huge game, so no problem, right?)
3: Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain’t bad. We’re just postponing the ‘Live it up’ part a bit.)
4: Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!) He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the look-out, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection. Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a Bard MC. Go figure. We’re going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

“Double, double, bard in trouble. Mob will catch him in a couple…”

Okay, the mobsters looking for Daniel still hadn’t found him. That was the good news. Bad news? The net was tightening – and Daniel was running out of places to hide inside the Dawnlight Forest in the World of Chains. His skills and achievements as a bard did not help avoid attention – quite the opposite, in fact. Maybe it was time to leave the forest? Or maybe… maybe take that Council quest and search for a more long-term solution to his predicament?

Go to the big city. Hang out with the bigwigs. Have fun.

That was the plan, right? Right! Except, our hero was supposed to be the guest of honor and the mob was not supposed to be invited.
Daniel was running out of places to lay low, however. Something needed to be done, or he’d be caught in the ever-tightening net of his pursuers.
Good thing the capital was right there, beckoning with a promising and permanent solution to his predicaments. Now, things would start looking up. The place surely wasn’t called the Cradle of Hope for nothing.

Go to the big city. Hang out with the bigwigs. Have fun.

So much darkness. At least it made hiding easier. Daniel and his group of close friends barely made it away from the mob and their underhanded allies among the Cabal. Now, they were hunted prey, forced to ditch their beloved floating castle in order to find a place to hide.
But where could you possibly hide when the Dawnlight Forest would soon be teeming with people looking for you? That’s right. Underground. Quite literally.
The beleaguered group of adventurers would soon find out about the underworld of Neyrus. What could you possibly find down there? Monsters? Treasure? Salvation?
