Publisher's summary

Something went wrong. Something went very wrong….

Against his will, Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth, to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world. Unfortunately for him, something occurred during his transference into the “Training” program, and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal.

Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden managed to survive, only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and no way to defend himself. Worst of all, the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge, which ended up sticking him with a Support-based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities. As an Assistant Healer, none of his spells did any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to!

But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon. Sure, all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean when he seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?

This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-combat Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

Jonathan has done it agen

Jonathan is a great author and has written a lot of great books now and this is most certainly not an exception.
from start to end iv enjoyed this one good narration you can understand great story flow that makes it feel shorter than it is and good world building that iv come to expect
won't get into much story detail as I don't want to spoil it but expect the unexpected is the best way to think of it where the Mc is a heal base character with zero attack options what you think that is boring? then you need to read and find out how this hilarious out take will both be op and not

Honestly Amazing

You have to get used to the narrator but past that the story is actually amazing. The MC is over powered but it is in a weird way that makes his life a true struggle.

Crunchy bag of peanuts

Jonathan Brooks is An author who is knowing for his stats and the crunchiness that occurs this 1 is 1 of the more heavier ones when it comes to crunching it's a bag of peanuts But fishing with this book and brings the story forward it's interesting as a first look and shows promise throughout the book it should be interesting to see what happens with this serious as explorers a healer with questions And people who want to hurt him

Great Book

A solid take on the LitRPG/Isekai. IMO it is good enough to appeal to non-LitRPG fantasy readers, as well as genre fans.

OP solo healer MC

Unexpected Healer

Thaden and millions of humans are teleported from Earth in an instant. Everyone is transported into a training program, where they will learn all about the assimilation process and how they will use this to survive. Everyone expect Thaden that is. Something strange happens and it seems to break his interaction with the assimilation process and his mana bar never depletes. This is an amazing boon, except for the fact that he is assigned the noncombatant support class.

Normally, I am not into the overpowered character trope. I’ve read enough Jonathan Brooks stories to expect good things, so I gave it a shot. I am glad that I did! It was a fascinating set up to a new series and a very interesting world. Miles Meili does an excellent job with the narration!

Pawned by a healer.

This book was fun and interesting. I really loved the solo leveling delving . For the most part, this story was exciting, entertaining and thoughtfully executed. I loved the Life Warden class bc of its versatility and also b/c I don’t like grouping in RPG/MMOs. . BTW I know that a lot of readers love undead type books but I don’t. So please test the Life Warden against something/someone else and keep the dead/undead in their crypts.
